EN 563:1994

EN 563:1994 is a standard published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Its full title is "Safety of machinery - Temperatures of touchable surfaces - Ergonomics data to establish temperature limit values for hot surfaces". This standard covers: 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.
