Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/BC/CEN/88/13 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Standardization request to CEN/CENELEC relating to machinery". Standardization request to CEN/CENELEC relating to machinery There are 1 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
This standard establishes ergonomic data and their use in establishing temperature limit values for hot surfaces and in the assessment of the risks of burning. This standard is applicable within the field of application of EN 292 to hot surfaces of machinery that are or can be touched during normal use. This standard provides data concerning circumstances under which contact between bare skin and a hot surface does or may lead to burns. These data allow the assessment of risks of burning. This standard also provides data to be used to establish temperature limit values for hot surfaces to protect against skin burns. These data can be used in the development of standards for specific machinery where as a result of a risk assessment temperature limits are required. The data of this standard are applicable to surfaces of objects with relatively high thermal capacity compared with that of the skin of the human body.
