Hi group, IEC62368-1 Table 38 defines touch temperature limits. Are these values absolute values nomatter which ambient? It seems some safety laboratories consider these values relative to 25C, thus allowing a recalculation to higher touch temperatures at higher Tma, other labs consider as absolute values.
Examples: TS1 limit on plastic/rubber is 77C. Labs that stick to absolute values have a limit of 77C at 25C and also at Tma of 45C. Labs that allow recalculation allow 97C for Tma of 45C, which is well in line with the 95C value of IEC60950-1. Any explanatory guidance documents available?
