ERGONOMICS OF THE THERMAL ENVIRONMENT - METHODS FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF HUMAN RESPONSES TO CONTACT WITH SURFACES - PART 1: HOT SURFACES (ISO 13732-1:2006, IDT)
This Malaysian Standard provides temperature threshold values for burns that occur when human skin is in contact with a hot solid surfaces. It also describes methods for the assessment of risks of burning, when humans could or might touch hot surfaces with their unprotected skin.
This standard also gives guidance for cases where it is necessary to specify temperature limit values for hot surfaces; it does not set surface temperature limit values.
NOTE 1: Such temperature limit values can be specified in specific product standards or in regulations in order to prevent human beings sustaining burns when in contact with the hot surface of a product.
This standard deals with contact periods of 0.5 s and longer.
It is applicable to contact when the surface temperature is essentially maintained during the contact.
It is not applicable if a large area of the skin (approximately 10 % or more of the skin of the whole body) can be in contact with the hot surface. Neither does it apply t
