Continuation of Question 5/5 studied in 1997-2000
Type of question
Task-oriented
Reason for question
Study Group 5 has produced safety recommendations which
provide key information to the telecommunications industry on the:
- safety requirements for telecommunication equipment;
- safe working practices for network operator personnel.
This question will provide the route for the maintenance of
these recommendations. The question will determine when these
documents need updating or amending and ultimately provide
guidance on when they can be deleted.
Text of question
This question will review existing K-series safety
recommendations to ensure that they remain accurate and
appropriate to the telecommunications industry and environment.
It will ensure that changes in the environment or in technology
(for example the introduction of new broadband systems) will
produce an updated version to ensure that these documents remain
current and valid.
This question may recommend further areas of study. One
possible area for the next study period will be the evaluation
of safety requirements related to safe working practices for
outside equipment installed in a particular environment, e.g. in
high humidity environment.
Specific objective and time-frame
Updates to existing recommendations and the suggestion for new areas of study.
Relationship to other
- Recommendations
- Questions
- Standardization bodies
