Omfang

This standard specifies methods for the assessment of the risk of burning when a hot surface is touched by unprotected skin. This document also describes how surface temperature limit values can be established in product standards with the aid of EN 563. The guidance is for establishing temperature limit values in all fields, where surface temperature limit values are required. Its field of application is not restricted to the safety of machinery. It is applicable for all kinds of products where hot surfaces cause a risk of burning. It applies as well for electrically powered products as for all other products. This document applies to hot surfaces of products which may be touched by healthy adults, children, elderly and physically disabled people. It also applies to products used in any environment, e.g. workplaces, the home etc.. This document does not set surface temperature limit values. It provides guidance to Technical Committees to carry out assessments of the risk of burning and to establish appropriate surface temperature limit values if necessary. It also provides hints about the necessity and the possibility of the establishment of limit values. It is the responsibility of Technical Committees which prepare standards for products to assess if the setting of surface temperature limit values is necessary and to set those limit values if need be. This document also provides the possibility of harmonising surface temperature limit values in standards for all kind of products. For different products with the same risk of burning it is reasonable to establish identical limit values. This document also provides additional information which is not contained in EN 563. This includes burn thresholds for contact periods below 1 s, burn thresholds for different textures of material and the assessment of burning risks for people other than healthy adults. This document does not deal with the problem of feeling pain when a hot surface is touched. NOTE: If protection against pain is necessary reference is made to other appropriate sources, see Annex A in EN 563:1994. The following limitations in the scope of EN 563:1994 also apply to this document: - thermal capacity - maximum area of the skin when in contact with a hot surface - contact which could result in burns of vital areas of the face - healthy skin.
