<abstract displayLabel="Summary">This address is divided in two parts. The first reviews the problems of heat stress evaluation: it describes the comprehensive approach adopted by ISO standards and in particular the rationale of the Required Sweat Rate index, and presents the work done during the ECSC interlaboratory study, which extends the application of this index to intermittent or fluctuating conditions of exposure. The second part presents a rapid overview of the European economic and social Directives proposed in anticipation of 1993. It suggests that occupational hygienists, occupational physicians, safety specialists, toxicologists, and ergonomists should adopt a common view about the practical implications of these new Directives and contribute to their incorporation into national regulations</abstract>
