title: Recommended maximum temperatures for touchable surfaces.
abstract: In the past, there has been a wide divergence of opinions on the risk of burns from touching hot surfaces. This has been reflected in the information available for maximum surface temperatures, which have so far been laid down in standards. However, study results are now available which will allow substantiated maximum temperatures for hot surfaces to be laid down.
