Data record `std.ieee-1584.structure.working-distance-defaults`

Verified 2026-10-24 Confidence: High

Table 10 in clause 6.7 of IEEE 1584-2018 supplies default working distances by equipment class; protection under the clause is judged by the energy reaching the head and torso at that distance rather than the hands, and a different distance may be used for a given task.

Provenance. Where this record comes from and where it is used: the cited source, the record itself and the entry that cites it.

Provenance: the chain from source to entry.
