I have a question concerning IEC 1010-1 section 6.12.2.3.
According to the standard, equipment whose function may give rise to a
hazard shall have an emergency switch...
Since my equipment has a hazard accessible in-order to operate properly
(i.e. it has an accessible part which goes up to 3200 Volts and 5 mA), I
need to have an emergency switch.
My question is that this standard doesn't give any more information
about this emergency switch. I am guessing that it has to be on the
front panel so it is always easily accessible. Will a standard Power
Switch on the front panel be acceptable? Is there a specific size
requirement? Is there a specific color requirement? Is there a specific
standard for this switch?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
