Ergonomics of the thermal environment - Methods for the assessment of human responses to contact with surfaces - Part 3: Cold surfaces (ISO 13732-3:2005)

ISO 13732-3:2005 provides methods for the assessment of the risk of cold injury and other adverse effects when a cold surface is touched by bare-hand/finger skin. It provides ergonomics data for establishing temperature limit values for cold solid surfaces. The values established can be used in the development of special standards, where surface temperature limit values are required. Its data are applicable to all fields where cold solid surfaces cause a risk of acute effects: pain, numbness and frostbite, and are not limited to the hands but can be applied in general to the healthy human skin of male and female adults.

Ergonomie der thermischen Umgebung - Bewertungsmethoden für Reaktionen des Menschen bei Kontakt mit Oberflächen - Teil 3: Kalte Oberflächen (ISO 13732-3:2005)

Dieses Dokument beschreibt Verfahren für die Bewertung des Risikos von Kälteschäden und sonstigen nachteiligen Wirkungen bei Berührung einer kalten Oberfläche mit der bloßen Haut der Hände bzw. Finger.
Diese Norm liefert ergonomische Daten zur Festlegung von Temperaturgrenzwerten für kalte, feste Oberflächen. Die festgelegten Werte können bei der Erarbeitung spezieller Normen verwendet werden, bei denen Grenzwerte der Oberflächentemperatur gefordert werden.
Die Daten aus dieser Norm sind auf alle Bereiche anwendbar, in denen kalte, feste Oberflächen das Risiko akuter Auswirkungen herbeiführen: Schmerz, Taubheitsgefühl und Erfrierungen.
Die Werte gelten nicht nur für Hände, sondern für die menschliche Haut im Allgemeinen.
Die Norm gilt für die gesunde Haut von Erwachsenen (Frauen und Männer). Überlegungen hinsichtlich der Erweiterung von Anwendungen finden sich in Anhang B.

Ergonomie des ambiances thermiques - Méthodes d'évaluation de la réponse humaine au contact avec des surfaces - Partie 3: Surfaces froides (ISO 13732-3:2005)

L'ISO 13732-3:2005 décrit les méthodes permettant d'évaluer le risque de lésion ainsi que d'autres effets indésirables induits par le froid au cours du contact d'une main ou d'un doigt nus avec une surface froide. Elle fournit des données ergonomiques permettant d'établir les valeurs limites de température pour les surfaces solides froides. Les valeurs établies peuvent être utilisées au cours de l'élaboration de normes spécifiques lorsque les valeurs limites pour la température de surface sont requises. Les données de l'ISO 13732-3:2005 sont applicables à tous les domaines dans lesquels des surfaces solides froides sont à l'origine d'un risque d'effets aigus, tels que douleur, engourdissement ou gelures, et elles ne se limitent pas aux mains mais s'appliquent à la peau saine des adultes (hommes et femmes).

ISO 13732-3:2005(E)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 13732-3 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in collaboration with
Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 5, Ergonomics of the physical
environment, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna
Agreement).
Throughout the text of this document, read “.this European Standard.” to mean “.this International
Standard.”.
ISO 13732 consists of the following parts, under the general title Ergonomics of the thermal environment —
Methods for the assessment of human responses to contact with surfaces:
⎯ Part 1: Hot surfaces
⎯ Part 2: Human contact with surfaces at moderate temperature [Technical Specification]
⎯ Part 3: Cold surfaces
For the purposes of this part of ISO 13732, the CEN annex regarding fulfilment of European Council
Directives has been removed.
