Summary/Abstract: The integration of microelectronics and wearable electronics with personal protective equipment (PPE) means that, on the one hand, completely new functions can be achieved, but on the other hand, their inappropriate design may be a potential source of danger for the user, e.g. by causing excessive psychophysical burden. For this reason, it is necessary to test protective clothing equipped with wearable electronics in terms of its impact on the psychophysical load of a human being. At the Central Institute for Labour Protection – National Research Institute, efforts were made to develop a new research methodology that would allow to fully investigate and evaluate the impact of smart protective clothing, including those with built-in sensors and microelectronic modules, on the psychophysical load of its user under simulated conditions of intended use.
