Abstract
This European standard specifies the ergonomic principles relating to the interaction between PPE and the human senses: vision; hearing; smell and taste; touch and feeling; vestibular orientation; proprioception and interoception. It specifies the principles to be incorporated into Standards for the evaluation and testing of PPE for any impairment of sensory perception arising from the use of that PPE. It is concerned with the inward flow of sensory signals and the ways in which PPE may adversely affect that flow.
