When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

the face of one hand only (240 cm2)

the face of one hand is the palm of one hand including the fingers and up to the wrist

Hence, one hand face only (240 cm2) means the measurement of the skin surface exposure of the face of one hand only to a [dangerous] chemical.

e.g.:

Human factors not influenced by risk management:
Skin surface exposure
One hand face only (240 cm2) (POC 1, 15)
Two hands face (480 cm2) (PROC 2)
Two hands face (960 cm2) (PROC 8a, 8b)

Human factors not influenced by risk management
Particular conditions of use, e.g. body parts
potentially exposed as a result of the nature
Exposed skin surface (cm2): 480 (two hands, face only)
