1. A groove may have parallel, converging or diverging sides.
/ u) R; B& d' H2. Any groove having diverging sides, a minimum width exceeding 0,25 mm, a depth exceeding 1,5 mm and a width at the bottom equal to or greater than 1 mm, is regarded as an air gap.# {* ]" Z4 i$ u( k
3. Any corner including an angle less than 80° is assumed to be bridged with an insulating link of 1 mm width (0,25 mm for dirt-free situations) moved into the most unfavourable position.

5. A creepage path is assumed not to exist if there is an air gap as defined in item 2 above exceeding 0,25 mm.% D" ^2 r+ V5 Q1 T7 B+ T3 Y9 y
6. Creepage distances and clearances measured between parts moving relative to each other are measured when these parts are in their most unfavourable stationary positions.7 c1 z8 q3 k. j* E3 w
7. A computed creepage distance is never less than a measured clearance.
