D.1.2 Regulated Minimum Working Clearance by Major Subsystem
Requirements apply to equipment operating at 600V or less, where examination, adjustment,
servicing, or maintenance is likely to be performed while live parts are exposed.
Direction of Service Access is defined as perpendicular to the surface of the equipment being
serviced. Required regulatory clearance distances must be maintained and may not be used for
storage. This includes normal system operation as well as service inspection or maintenance.
For the gantry and table, distances are measured from the enclosure, not the finish covers.
