Annex A (informative) Evaluation of the metabolic rate at
        level 1, screening
Annex B (informative) Evaluation of the metabolic rate at
        level 2, observation
Annex C (informative) Evaluation of the metabolic rate at
        level 3, analysis
Annex D (informative) Evaluation of the metabolic rate at
        level 4, expertise - Examples of the calculation of
        metabolic rate based on measured data

Provides different methods for the determination of metabolic rate in the context of ergonomics of the climatic working environment. It can also be used for other applications - for example, the assessment of working practices, the energetic cost of specific jobs or sport activities, the total cost of an activity, etc.
