Annex AA
(informative)
Particular guidance and rationale

Add, immediately after the annex title, the following new text and figure:
AA.1 Requirements and the safety concept of this standard
Compliance with the minimum safety requirements specified in this particular standard is
predominantly checked by measurement of physical quantities such as the temperature. In
most cases the spatial location of the measuring site or the temporal development of the
quantity is of interest. Therefore, the expert group of this standard considered it helpful to
provide a synopsis of the requirements of this standard. Hence, Figure AA.1 illustrates the
requirements and their schematic measuring sites or expected temporal development. The
requirements as given by their clauses are set in brackets.
