Proximity
Steps to be followed during the development of the tests
- Work without voltage unless it is strictly necessary.
- If it is necessary to access the equipment while it is connected (with or without load),
measures should be taken to ensure that all conductive elements are properly protected
by appropriate polycarbonates or insulating enclosures.
- If it cannot be guaranteed that ALL live parts of the equipment are protected by
polycarbonates, live working shall be carried out.
- Guarantee safety distance between risk elements (cabinets, dispensers, wallboxes...)
and the work table (computers, readers, testers).
- Wide and safe access from the door of the box to the work areas. There should always
be a safe escape route.
- Minimise the presence of cables in working areas and put cable protectors.
- Remove all the elements that are not essential for carrying out the tests.
- Have the necessary safety signs to be used as required.
