Ergonomics of the thermal environment - Methods for the assessment of human responses to contact with surfaces - Part 1: Hot surfaces (ISO 13732-1:2006)

This standard provides temperature threshold values for the occurrence of burns when the human skin is in contact with a hot solid surface. This standard also describes methods for the assessment of the risks of burning, when humans can or may touch hot surfaces with the unprotected skin. This standard also gives guidance when it is necessary to specify temperature limit values for hot surfaces. This standard gives guidance but does not set surface temperature limit values. NOTE 1 Such temperature limit values may be specified in specific product standards or in regulations in order to prevent human beings to sustain burns when in contact with the hot surface of a product. This standard applies to contact periods of 0,5 s and longer. This standard 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. This standard is also not applicable to skin contact of more than 10 % of the head or contact which could result in burns of vital areas of the face. NOTE 2 In some cases the results of co
