Is there an International and European standard that addresses the minimum clearance from the operating space such as specified in the R15.06 section 10.7.7?

There is information that coorelates a dimension of 20" or 1/2 meter as needed to prevent crushing. CSA Z434 uses 20" (1/2 meter) for clearance. It is expected that the ISO 10218-2 will also state 20" (1/2 meter) when clearance is required.
