Introduction 0 Principles of Safety The following principles have been adopted in the development of this part of GB 4943. These principles do not cover performance or functional characteristics of equipment. 0.1 General Principles of Safety It is essential that designers understand the underlying principles of safety requirements in order that they can engineer safe equipment. These principles are not an alternative to the detailed requirements of this part, but are intended to provide designers with an appreciation of the basis of these requirements. Where the equipment involves technologies and materials or methods of construction not specifically covered, the design of the equipment should provide a level of safety not less than those described in these principles of safety. Designers shall take into account not only normal operating conditions of the equipment but also likely fault conditions, consequential faults, foreseeable misuse and external influences such as temperature, altitude, pollution, moisture, overvoltages on the MAINS SUPPLY and overvoltages on a TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK or a CABLE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. Dimensioning of insulation spacings should take account of possible reductions by manufacturing tolerances, or where deformation could occur due to handling, shock and vibration likely to be encountered during manufacture, transport and normal use. The following priorities should be observed in determining what design measures to adopt: - where possible, specify design criteria that will eliminate, reduce or guard against hazards; - where the above is not practicable because the functioning of the equipment would be impaired, specify the use of protective means independent of the equipment, such as personal protective equipment (which is not specified in this part); - where neither of the above measures is practicable, or in addition to those measures, specify the provision of markings and instructions regarding the residual risks. There are two types of persons whose safety needs to be considered, USERS (or OPERATORS) and SERVICE PERSONS. USER is the term applied to all persons other than SERVICE PERSONS. Requirements for protection should assume that USERS are not trained to identify hazards, but will not intentionally create a hazardous situation. Consequently, the requirements will provide protection for cleaners and casual visitors as well as the assigned USERS. In general, USERS should not have access to hazardous parts, and to this end, such parts should only be in SERVICE ACCESS AREAS or in equipment located in RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATIONS. When USERS are admitted to RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATIONS they shall be suitably instructed. SERVICE PERSONS are expected to use their training and skill to avoid possible injury to themselves and others due to obvious hazards that exist in SERVICE ACCESS AREAS of the equipment or on equipment located in RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATIONS. However, SERVICE PERSONS should be protected against unexpected hazards. This can be done by, for example, locating parts that need to be accessible for servicing away from electrical and mechanical hazards, providing shields to avoid accidental contact with hazardous parts, and providing labels or instructions to warn personnel about any residual risk. Information about potential hazards can be marked on the equipment or provided with the equipment, depending on the likelihood and severity of injury, or made available for SERVICE PERSONS. In general, USERS shall not be exposed to hazards likely to cause injury, and information provided for USERS should primarily aim at avoiding misuse and situations likely to create hazards, such as connection to the wrong power source and replacement of fuses by incorrect types. MOVABLE EQUIPMENT is considered to present a slightly increased risk of shock, due to possible extra strain on the supply cord leading to rupture of the earthing conductor. With HAND-HELD EQUIPMENT, this risk is increased; wear on the cord is more likely, and further hazards could arise if the units were dropped. TRANSPORTABLE EQUIPMENT introduces a further factor because it can be used and carried in any orientation; if a small metallic object enters an opening in the ENCLOSURE it can move around inside the equipment, possibly creating a hazard. 0.2 Hazards Application of a safety standard is intended to reduce the risk of injury or damage due to the following: - electric shock; - energy related hazards; - fire; - heat related hazards; - mechanical hazards; - radiation; - chemical hazards. 0.2.1 Electric shock Electric shock is due to current passing through the human body. The resulting physiological effects depend on the value and duration of the current and the path it takes through the body. The value of the current depends on the applied voltage, the impedance of the source and the impedance of the body. The body impedance depends in turn on the area of contact, moisture in the area of contact and the applied voltage and frequency. Currents of approximately 0.5mA can cause a reaction in persons in good health and may cause injury indirectly due to involuntary reaction. Higher currents can have more direct effects, such as burn or muscle tetanization leading to inability to let go or to ventricular fibrillation. Steady state voltages up to 42.4V peak, or 60V d.c., are not generally regarded as hazardous under dry conditions for an area of contact equivalent to a human hand. Bare parts that have to be touched or handled should be at earth potential or properly insulated. Some equipment will be connected to telephone and other external networks. Some TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS operate with signals such as voice and ringing superimposed on a steady d.c. supply voltage; the total may exceed the values given above for steady-state voltages. It is common practice for the SERVICE PERSONS of telephone companies to handle parts of such circuits bare-handed. This has not caused serious injury, because of the use of cadenced ringing and because there are limited areas of contact with bare conductors normally handled by SERVICE PERSONS. However, the area of contact of a part accessible to the USER, and the likelihood of the part being touched, should be further limited (for example, by the shape and location of the part). It is normal to provide two levels of protection for USERS to prevent electric shock. Therefore, the operation of equipment under normal conditions and after a single fault, including any consequential faults, should not create a shock hazard. However, provision of additional protective measures, such as protective earthing or SUPPLEMENTARY INSULATION, is not considered a substitute for, or a relief from, properly designed BASIC INSULATION. Harm may result from: Examples of measures to reduce risks: Contact with bare parts normally at HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES. Prevent USER access to parts at HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES by fixed or locked covers, SAFETY INTERLOCKS, etc. Discharge accessible capacitors that are at HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES. Breakdown of insulation between parts normally at HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES and accessible conductive parts. Provide BASIC INSULATION and connect the accessible conductive parts and circuits to earth so that exposure to the voltage which can develop is limited because overcurrent protection will disconnect the parts having low impedance faults within a specified time; or provide a metal screen connected to protective earth between the parts, or provide DOUBLE INSULATION or REINFORCED INSULATION between the parts, so that breakdown to the accessible part is not likely to occur. Contact with circuits connected to TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS that exceed 42.4 V peak or 60V d.c. Limit the accessibility and area of contact of such circuits, and separate them from unearthed parts to which access is not limited. Breakdown of USER-accessible insulation. Insulation that is accessible to the USER should have adequate mechanical and electrical strength to reduce the likelihood of contact with HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES. TOUCH CURRENT (leakage current) flowing from parts at HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES to accessible parts, or failure of a protective earthing connection. TOUCH CURRENT may include current due to EMC filter components connected between PRIMARY CIRCUITS and accessible parts. Limit TOUCH CURRENT to a specified value, or provide a high integrity protective earthing connection. 0.2.2 Energy related hazards Injury or fire may result from a short-circuit between adjacent poles of high current supplies or high capacitance circuits, causing: - burns; - arcing; - ejection of molten metal. Even circuits whose voltages are safe to touch may be hazardous in this respect. Examples of measures to reduce risks include: - separation; - shielding; - provision of SAFETY INTERLOCKS. 0.2.3 Fire Risk of fire may result from excessive temperatures either under normal operating conditions or due to overload, component failure, insulation breakdown or loose connections. Fires originating within the equipment should not spread beyond the immediate vicinity of the source of the fire, nor cause damage to the surroundings of the equipment. Examples of measures to reduce risks include: - providing overcurrent protection; - using constructional materials having appropriate flammability properties for their purpose; - selection of parts, components and consumable materials to avoid high temperature which might cause ignition; - limiting the quantity of combustible materials used; - shielding or separating combustible materials from likely ignition sources; - using ENCLOSURES or barriers to limit the spread of fire within the equipment; - using suitable materials for ENCLOSURES so as to reduce the likelihood of fire spreading from the equipment. 0.2.4 Heat related hazards Injury may result from high temperatures under normal operating conditions, causing: - burns due to contact with hot accessible parts; - degradation of insulation and of safety-critical components; - ignition of flammable liquids. Examples of measures to reduce risks include: - taking steps to avoid high temperature of accessible parts; - avoiding temperatures above the ignition point of liquids; - provision of markings to warn USERS where access to hot parts is unavoidable. 0.2.5 Mechanical hazards Injury may result from: - sharp edges and corners; - moving parts that have the potential to cause injury; - equipment instability; - flying particles from imploding cathode ray tubes and exploding high pressure lamps. Examples of measures to reduce risks include: - rounding of sharp edges and corners; - guarding; - provision of SAFETY INTERLOCKS; - providing sufficient stability to free-standing equipment; - selecting cathode ray tubes and high pressure lamps that are resistant to implosion and explosion respectively; - provision of markings to warn USERS where access is unavoidable. 0.2.6 Radiation Injury to USERS and to SERVICE PERSONS may result from some forms of radiation emitted by equipment. Examples are sonic (acoustic), radio frequency, infra-red, ultraviolet and ionizing radiation, and high intensity visible and coherent light (lasers). Examples of measures to reduce risks include: - limiting the energy level of potential radiation sources; - screening radiation sources; - provision of SAFETY INTERLOCKS; - provision of markings to warn USERS where exposure to the radiation hazard is unavoidable. 0.2.7 Chemical hazards Injury may result from contact with some chemicals or from inhalation of their vapours and fumes. Examples of measures to reduce risks include: - avoiding the use of constructional and consumable materials likely to cause injury by contact or inhalation during intended and normal conditions of use; - avoiding conditions likely to cause leakage or vaporization; - provision of markings to warn USERS about the hazards. 0.3 Materials and Components Materials and components used in the construction of equipment should be so selected and arranged that they can be expected to perform in a reliable manner for the anticipated life of the equipment without creating a hazard, and would not contribute significantly to the development of a serious fire hazard. Components should be selected so that they remain within their manufacturers' ratings under normal operating conditions, and do not create a hazard under fault conditions.

Introduction of GB 4943.1-2011
Introduction 0 Principles of Safety The following principles have been adopted in the development of this part of GB 4943. These principles do not cover performance or functional characteristics of equipment. 0.1 General Principles of Safety It is essential that designers understand the underlying principles of safety requirements in order that they can engineer safe equipment. These principles are not an alternative to the detailed requirements of this part, but are intended to provide designers with an appreciation of the basis of these requirements. Where the equipment involves technologies and materials or methods of construction not specifically covered, the design of the equipment should provide a level of safety not less than those described in these principles of safety. Designers shall take into account not only normal operating conditions of the equipment but also likely fault conditions, consequential faults, foreseeable misuse and external influences such as temperature, altitude, pollution, moisture, overvoltages on the MAINS SUPPLY and overvoltages on a TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK or a CABLE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. Dimensioning of insulation spacings should take account of possible reductions by manufacturing tolerances, or where deformation could occur due to handling, shock and vibration likely to be encountered during manufacture, transport and normal use. The following priorities should be observed in determining what design measures to adopt: - where possible, specify design criteria that will eliminate, reduce or guard against hazards; - where the above is not practicable because the functioning of the equipment would be impaired, specify the use of protective means independent of the equipment, such as personal protective equipment (which is not specified in this part); - where neither of the above measures is practicable, or in addition to those measures, specify the provision of markings and instructions regarding the residual risks. There are two types of persons whose safety needs to be considered, USERS (or OPERATORS) and SERVICE PERSONS. USER is the term applied to all persons other than SERVICE PERSONS. Requirements for protection should assume that USERS are not trained to identify hazards, but will not intentionally create a hazardous situation. Consequently, the requirements will provide protection for cleaners and casual visitors as well as the assigned USERS. In general, USERS should not have access to hazardous parts, and to this end, such parts should only be in SERVICE ACCESS AREAS or in equipment located in RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATIONS. When USERS are admitted to RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATIONS they shall be suitably instructed. SERVICE PERSONS are expected to use their training and skill to avoid possible injury to themselves and others due to obvious hazards that exist in SERVICE ACCESS AREAS of the equipment or on equipment located in RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATIONS. However, SERVICE PERSONS should be protected against unexpected hazards. This can be done by, for example, locating parts that need to be accessible for servicing away from electrical and mechanical hazards, providing shields to avoid accidental contact with hazardous parts, and providing labels or instructions to warn personnel about any residual risk. Information about potential hazards can be marked on the equipment or provided with the equipment, depending on the likelihood and severity of injury, or made available for SERVICE PERSONS. In general, USERS shall not be exposed to hazards likely to cause injury, and information provided for USERS should primarily aim at avoiding misuse and situations likely to create hazards, such as connection to the wrong power source and replacement of fuses by incorrect types. MOVABLE EQUIPMENT is considered to present a slightly increased risk of shock, due to possible extra strain on the supply cord leading to rupture of the earthing conductor. With HAND-HELD EQUIPMENT, this risk is increased; wear on the cord is more likely, and further hazards could arise if the units were dropped. TRANSPORTABLE EQUIPMENT introduces a further factor because it can be used and carried in any orientation; if a small metallic object enters an opening in the ENCLOSURE it can move around inside the equipment, possibly creating a hazard. 0.2 Hazards Application of a safety standard is intended to reduce the risk of injury or damage due to the following: - electric shock; - energy related hazards; - fire; - heat related hazards; - mechanical hazards; - radiation; - chemical hazards. 0.2.1 Electric shock Electric shock is due to current passing through the human body. The resulting physiological effects depend on the value and duration of the current and the path it takes through the body. The value of the current depends on the applied voltage, the impedance of the source and the impedance of the body. The body impedance depends in turn on the area of contact, moisture in the area of contact and the applied voltage and frequency. Currents of approximately 0.5mA can cause a reaction in persons in good health and may cause injury indirectly due to involuntary reaction. Higher currents can have more direct effects, such as burn or muscle tetanization leading to inability to let go or to ventricular fibrillation. Steady state voltages up to 42.4V peak, or 60V d.c., are not generally regarded as hazardous under dry conditions for an area of contact equivalent to a human hand. Bare parts that have to be touched or handled should be at earth potential or properly insulated. Some equipment will be connected to telephone and other external networks. Some TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS operate with signals such as voice and ringing superimposed on a steady d.c. supply voltage; the total may exceed the values given above for steady-state voltages. It is common practice for the SERVICE PERSONS of telephone companies to handle parts of such circuits bare-handed. This has not caused serious injury, because of the use of cadenced ringing and because there are limited areas of contact with bare conductors normally handled by SERVICE PERSONS. However, the area of contact of a part accessible to the USER, and the likelihood of the part being touched, should be further limited (for example, by the shape and location of the part). It is normal to provide two levels of protection for USERS to prevent electric shock. Therefore, the operation of equipment under normal conditions and after a single fault, including any consequential faults, should not create a shock hazard. However, provision of additional protective measures, such as protective earthing or SUPPLEMENTARY INSULATION, is not considered a substitute for, or a relief from, properly designed BASIC INSULATION. Harm may result from: Examples of measures to reduce risks: Contact with bare parts normally at HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES. Prevent USER access to parts at HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES by fixed or locked covers, SAFETY INTERLOCKS, etc. Discharge accessible capacitors that are at HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES. Breakdown of insulation between parts normally at HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES and accessible conductive parts. Provide BASIC INSULATION and connect the accessible conductive parts and circuits to earth so that exposure to the voltage which can develop is limited because overcurrent protection will disconnect the parts having low impedance faults within a specified time; or provide a metal screen connected to protective earth between the parts, or provide DOUBLE INSULATION or REINFORCED INSULATION between the parts, so that breakdown to the accessible part is not likely to occur. Contact with circuits connected to TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS that exceed 42.4 V peak or 60V d.c. Limit the accessibility and area of contact of such circuits, and separate them from unearthed parts to which access is not limited. Breakdown of USER-accessible insulation. Insulation that is accessible to the USER should have adequate mechanical and electrical strength to reduce the likelihood of contact with HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES. TOUCH CURRENT (leakage current) flowing from parts at HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES to accessible parts, or failure of a protective earthing connection. TOUCH CURRENT may include current due to EMC filter components connected between PRIMARY CIRCUITS and accessible parts. Limit TOUCH CURRENT to a specified value, or provide a high integrity protective earthing connection. 0.2.2 Energy related hazards Injury or fire may result from a short-circuit between adjacent poles of high current supplies or high capacitance circuits, causing: - burns; - arcing; - ejection of molten metal. Even circuits whose voltages are safe to touch may be hazardous in this respect. Examples of measures to reduce risks include: - separation; - shielding; - provision of SAFETY INTERLOCKS. 0.2.3 Fire Risk of fire may result from excessive temperatures either under normal operating conditions or due to overload, component failure, insulation breakdown or loose connections. Fires originating within the equipment should not spread beyond the immediate vicinity of the source of the fire, nor cause damage to the surroundings of the equipment. Examples of measures to reduce risks include: - providing overcurrent protection; - using constructional materials having appropriate flammability properties for their purpose; - selection of parts, components and consumable materials to avoid high temperature which might cause ignition; - limiting the quantity of combustible materials used; - shielding or separating combustible materials from likely ignition sources; - using ENCLOSURES or barriers to limit the spread of fire within the equipment; - using suitable materials for ENCLOSURES so as to reduce the likelihood of fire spreading from the equipment. 0.2.4 Heat related hazards Injury may result from high temperatures under normal operating conditions, causing: - burns due to contact with hot accessible parts; - degradation of insulation and of safety-critical components; - ignition of flammable liquids. Examples of measures to reduce risks include: - taking steps to avoid high temperature of accessible parts; - avoiding temperatures above the ignition point of liquids; - provision of markings to warn USERS where access to hot parts is unavoidable. 0.2.5 Mechanical hazards Injury may result from: - sharp edges and corners; - moving parts that have the potential to cause injury; - equipment instability; - flying particles from imploding cathode ray tubes and exploding high pressure lamps. Examples of measures to reduce risks include: - rounding of sharp edges and corners; - guarding; - provision of SAFETY INTERLOCKS; - providing sufficient stability to free-standing equipment; - selecting cathode ray tubes and high pressure lamps that are resistant to implosion and explosion respectively; - provision of markings to warn USERS where access is unavoidable. 0.2.6 Radiation Injury to USERS and to SERVICE PERSONS may result from some forms of radiation emitted by equipment. Examples are sonic (acoustic), radio frequency, infra-red, ultraviolet and ionizing radiation, and high intensity visible and coherent light (lasers). Examples of measures to reduce risks include: - limiting the energy level of potential radiation sources; - screening radiation sources; - provision of SAFETY INTERLOCKS; - provision of markings to warn USERS where exposure to the radiation hazard is unavoidable. 0.2.7 Chemical hazards Injury may result from contact with some chemicals or from inhalation of their vapours and fumes. Examples of measures to reduce risks include: - avoiding the use of constructional and consumable materials likely to cause injury by contact or inhalation during intended and normal conditions of use; - avoiding conditions likely to cause leakage or vaporization; - provision of markings to warn USERS about the hazards. 0.3 Materials and Components Materials and components used in the construction of equipment should be so selected and arranged that they can be expected to perform in a reliable manner for the anticipated life of the equipment without creating a hazard, and would not contribute significantly to the development of a serious fire hazard. Components should be selected so that they remain within their manufacturers' ratings under normal operating conditions, and do not create a hazard under fault conditions.
