Amendment of the EU Machinery Directive has made it necessary to update the previous edition, EN ISO 13732-3:2005, which takes into account the essential requirements of the new EU Mac

7、hinery Directive, 2006/42/EC. This standard concretizes the basic requirements set out in Annex I of the EU Machinery Directive 98/37/EC (valid until 28 December 2009) and the new EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC which becomes applicable on 29 December 2009 relating to machinery to be placed on the

8、 EEA market, with the intent of simplifying the means of proving conformity with such requirements. Once this standard is designated a harmonized standard in the Official Journal of the European Union, a manufacturer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of the Machinery

9、 Directive (the so-called “presumption of conformity”). Amendments This standard differs from DIN EN ISO 13732-3:2006-02 as follows: a) Inclusion of Annex ZB (informative) “Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of EU Directive 2006/42/EC”.

25、SO 13732-3:2008-12 EN ISO 13732-3:2008 (E)3 Introduction This European Standard is a type B standard as stated in EN ISO 12100. The provisions of this document may be supplemented or modified by a type C standard. NOTE For machines which are covered by the scope of a type C standard and which have b

26、een designed and built according to the provisions of that standard, the provisions of that type C standard take precedence over the provisions of this type B standard. Working with unprotected hands is often inevitable in the cold operation when a precision task is demanded. However the contact of

27、bare skin with cold surfaces reduces skin temperature, causing acute effects such as discomfort, pain, numbness or frostbite. In addition repeated cold exposures with severe cooling of the skin may induce non-freezing cold injury (possible damage of nerves or vessels). Although the existing internat

28、ional standards are at hand for the assessment of the cold hazards involved, no standard concerns the special problems of contacting cold surfaces so far. Assessment of contact cooling is thus considered necessary. To assess the risk of the cold injury, it is necessary to know the major factors affe

29、cting principally hand/finger cooling on cold surfaces. These factors involve: properties of the object surface; temperature of the cold surface and ambience; duration of contact between the skin and the surface; characteristics of hand/finger skin and the type and nature of the contact. In practice

30、, these factors are somewhat interacted and complicated. The type of contact material has an impact on the contact time at various cold temperatures. Thus, the contact time for the critical contact temperature limits on cold surfaces were empirically correlated with the major factors such as thermal

31、 penetration coefficient and surface temperature of the material, respectively. The statistically non-linear models (empirical models) based on the database of lower quartile (75 % protected) are able to estimate the finger/hand contact cooling of a large range of individuals on the cold surfaces. T

32、his European Standard is designed to integrate all results obtained from the experimental research with both human fingers and an artificial finger. It outlines a guideline document for the specification of safe time limits of hand/finger contact with various cold surfaces. DIN EN ISO 13732-3:2008-1

33、2 EN ISO 13732-3:2008 (E)4 1 Scope This European Standard describes 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. This standard provides ergonomics data to establish temperature limit values for cold solid sur

34、faces. The values established can be used in the development of special standards, where surface temperature limit values are required. The data of this standard will be applicable to all fields where cold solid surfaces cause a risk of acute effects: pain, numbness and frostbite. The data are not l

35、imited to the hands but apply to human skin in general. The standard is applicable to the healthy skin of adults (females and males). Considerations on the extension of applications are given in Annex B. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application

36、of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

41、ffects, the following steps (4.2 to 4.8) shall be carried out. 4.2 Identification of cold touchable surfaces All essential information concerning the cold touchable surfaces of the object shall be gathered. This shall include the objects attributes: a) accessibility of the surface; b) rough estimati

42、on of surface temperatures (above or below 0 C); c) material and texture of the cold surface; d) all operating conditions of the object where contact with the cold surface is needed (including the worst case). 4.3 Task observation and analysis According to the activities and tasks required, all nece

43、ssary information concerning the contact with the cold surface shall be collected, by observation or analysis. Particular attention should be paid to possible intentional and unintentional contact with cold surfaces. The type and nature of the contact shall be identified from the task observation an

44、d analysis: a) cold surfaces which are or can be touched; b) intentional or unintentional touching; c) frequency of intentional touching; d) probability of unintentional touching; e) duration of contact with the cold surface; f) contacting area; g) contacting force.

45、 13732-3:2008 (E)6 4.4 Classification of contact with a cold surface 4.4.1 General The type of contact is classified according to the following two categories: 4.4.2 Finger touching Subjects contact a defined material during a short period (up to 120 s). The contact area is small (only finger pad).

46、4.4.3 Hand gripping Subjects grip an object of defined material. Gripping is applied constantly for a longer period (up to 1 200 s). 4.5 Measurement of surface temperature The surface temperatures shall be measured on those parts of the object where skin contact with the surface can occur. The measu

47、rement shall be carried out under real operating conditions of the object by thermocouples. The accuracy of the instrument shall be 0,5 C in a range from 25 to + 5 C and 1 C below 25 C (see ISO 7726:2001 and 4). NOTE The results of the measurement of the surface temperature can only be compared with

48、 the threshold values of Clause 5, if they are realized using the same physical measurement principle which was used for the determination of the threshold values of Clause 5. The application of a different measuring principle, e.g. a radiation thermometer, can lead to other results which are not co

49、mparable with the threshold values. 4.6 Period The contact period of bare skin with a cold surface can be measured or estimated according to values in Table D.1. 4.7 Classification of type of effect on skin during contact 4.7.1 General Type of effect shall be determined according to the following criteria. 4.7.2 Frostbite The effect is predicted from a drop in contact temperature to below 0 C, at which the contacting skin tissue will freeze. 4.7.3 Numbness The effect is predicted from a drop in contact temperature to arou
