FOREWORD
This addendum simplifies Normative Appendix A, "Methods for Determining Operative Temperature," to be a single procedure for calculating operative temperature. Case 1 is removed because it is overly permissive, and Case 3 is removed because it is redundant with Case 2.
Note: In this addendum, changes to the current standard are indicated in the text by underlining (for additions) and strikethrough (for deletions) unless the instructions specifically mention some other means of indicating the changes.
