Rules have been drawn up on the basis of this assumption;  The safety requirements of this standard have been drawn up on the basis that the components are a) designed in accordance with the usual engineering practice and calculation codes, including all failure modes, b) of sound mechanical and electrical construction, c) made of materials with adequate strength and of suitable quality, and d) be free of defects;  Harmful materials, such as asbestos are not used;  The equipment is kept in good working order;  Any mechanical device manufactured according to good practice and the requirements of this standard shall not deteriorate to the point of creating a hazard without being detected;  The ambient temperature range is between - 10° C and + 55° C. Additional requirements for equipment intended for use outside the ambient temperature range are set out in annex D;  The parapets and roofs are of adequate strength for the SAE equipment to be installed.
