Moshe, Have you got a copy of IEC 1010 (more correctly IEC 61010 (EN 61010) Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use)?
I don't have a full copy to hand (it is out of my library at present) but it is not far removed from EN 60065 or 60950 both of which require tool fitted covers. What does Clause 6.12.3.2 (Apliance couplers and plugs) say? I know that moving parts must be protected by tool fitted covers (Clause 7.2).
