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

ISO 15536-1:2006 provides temperature threshold values for burns that occur when human skin is in contact with a hot solid surface. It also describes methods for the assessment of the risks of burning, when humans could or might touch hot surfaces with their unprotected skin.
In addition, ISO 13732-1:2006 gives guidance for cases where it is necessary to specify temperature limit values for hot surfaces, but does not set surface temperature limit values.
ISO 13732-1:2006 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 to skin contact of more than 10 % of the head or contact which could result in burns of vital areas of the face.
ISO 13732-1:2006 is applicable to the hot surfaces of all kind of objects: equipment, products, buildings, natural objects, etc. It is applicable to hot surfaces of products that may be touched by healthy adults, children, elderly people and also by people with physical disabilities. For the purposes of simplification, it mentions only products; nevertheless, it applies to all other objects as well. It is applicable to products used in any environment, e.g. in the workplace, in the home.
It does not provide data for the protection against discomfort or pain.

Ergonomie der thermischen Umgebung - Bewertungsverfahren für menschliche Reaktionen bei Kontakt mit Oberflächen - Teil 1: Heiße Oberflächen (ISO 13732-1:2006)

Dieser Teil von ISO 13732 stellt Temperaturschwellenwerte für Verbrennungen zur Verfügung, die auftreten, wenn es zum Kontakt der menschlichen Haut mit einer heißen, festen Oberfläche kommt.
Er beschreibt außerdem Verfahren zur Bewertung von Verbrennungsrisiken in Situationen, in denen Menschen heiße Oberflächen mit ihrer ungeschützten Haut berühren können oder dürfen.
Dieser Teil von ISO 13732 gibt auch Leitlinien für Fälle, in denen es erforderlich ist, Temperaturschwellen-werte für heiße Oberflächen festzulegen. Sie legt jedoch keine Grenzwerte für Oberflächentemperaturen fest.
ANMERKUNG 1   Um zu verhindern, dass Menschen bei Berühren der heißen Oberfläche eines Produktes Verbrennungen davontragen, können derartige Temperaturgrenzwerte in besonderen Produktnormen oder in Vorschriften festgelegt werden.
Dieser Teil von ISO 13732 gilt für eine Kontaktdauer von 0,5 s und länger.
Er ist anwendbar für Kontakte bei denen die Oberflächentemperatur während des Kontaktes in Wesentlichen unverändert bleibt (siehe 4.1).
Er ist nicht anwendbar, wenn ein großer Bereich der Haut (etwa 10 % oder mehr der Körperoberfläche) mit einer heißen Oberfläche in Berührung kommen kann. Sie ist ebenfalls nicht anwendbar bei einem Hautkontakt von mehr als 10 % des Kopfes oder einem Kontakt, der Verbrennungen von lebenswichtigen Bereichen des Gesichtes zur Folge hat.
ANMERKUNG 2   In einigen Fällen kann der Kontakt mit einer heißen Oberfläche für eine Person noch schwerwiegender sein, z. B.:
   Verbrennungen, die zu einer Verengung der Atemwege führen;
   großflächige Verbrennungen (von mehr als 10 % der Körperoberfläche) können den Blutkreislauf durch Flüssigkeitsverlust beeinträchtigen;
   die Erhitzung eines großen Teils des Kopfes oder des gesamten Körpers kann selbst ohne das Auftreten einer Verbrennung zu einer nicht akzeptablen Hitzebeanspruchung führen.

Ergonomie des ambiances thermiques - Méthodes d'évaluation de la réponse humaine au contact avec des surfaces - Partie 1: Surfaces chaudes (ISO 13732-1:2006)

L'ISO 13732-1:2006 donne les valeurs seuil de température auxquelles des brûlures interviennent lorsque la peau de l'être humain entre en contact avec une surface solide chaude.
Elle décrit également des méthodes permettant d'évaluer les risques de brûlure lorsque des personnes peuvent toucher des surfaces chaudes sans que leur peau ne soit protégée.
L'ISO 13732-1:2006 indique dans quels cas il est nécessaire de spécifier des valeurs limites de température pour des surfaces chaudes, mais n'établit nullement ces valeurs limites de température des surfaces.
L'ISO 13732-1:2006 concerne des durées de contact de 0,5 s et plus.
Elle est applicable aux contacts lorsque la température de surface est essentiellement maintenue durant le contact.
Elle n'est pas applicable aux contacts d'une surface importante de la peau (c'est-à-dire environ 10 % ou plus de la peau de l'ensemble du corps) avec la surface chaude. Elle ne s'applique pas non plus dans les cas de contacts de plus de 10 % de la tête ou de contacts susceptibles d'engendrer des brûlures des zones vitales du visage.
L'ISO 13732-1:2006 est applicable aux surfaces chaudes de toutes sortes d'objets: équipements, produits, bâtiments, objets naturels, etc. Par souci de simplification, elle ne mentionne que les produits, mais elle est également applicable à tous les autres objets.
Elle est aplicable à des produits utilisés dans n'importe quel environnement, par exemple sur les lieux de travail, au domicile.
Elle est applicable à des surfaces chaudes de produits qui peuvent être touchés par des adultes en bonne santé, des enfants, des personnes âgées et des personnes physiquement handicapées.
L'ISO 13732-1:2006 ne fournit pas de données concernant la protection contre l'inconfort ou la douleur.
