This standard 20/30403946 DC BS EN 17528. Clothing. physiological effects. Measurement of water vapour resistance by means of a sweating manikin is classified in these ICS categories:

• 61.020 Clothes

This document describes the requirements of the sweating manikin and the test procedure used to measure the water vapour resistance of a clothing ensemble, as it becomes effective for the wearer in practical use in a defined environment, with the wearer either standing or moving. This water vapour resistance, among other parameters, can be used to determine the effect of clothing on the physiology of the wearer in specific climate/activity scenarios.
