EN 60601-1 (UL2601)section 23 states: Surfaces, corners and edges: Rough surfaces, sharp corners and edges which may cause injury or damage shall be avoided or covered. In particular, attention shall be paid to flange or frame edges and the removal of burrs Compliance is checked by inspection.
I'm not familiar with ITE standards, but I would suspect that UL1950 would address this issue also. In addition: a Risk Assessment / Hazard Analysis should be performed on the design and if such hazards exist they would be identified and addressed / eliminated. Hope this helps!! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2000 5:29 AM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: SEMI and SHARP EDGES Hi Peter The only reference I can find is in SEMI S8-95 the ergonomics bit. Clause 10.1.6 states " Sharp edges or corners that present a personnel safety hazard or potential damage to clothing or equipment should be suitably protected or rounded" but they do not give any dimensions. Mind you how do you radius the average table top/panel to 2.5ins???
