for scalds is the same as for burns. First, the site of the injury should be removed from the source of heat, to prevent further scalding. If the burn is at least second degree, remove any jewelry or clothing from the site, unless it is already stuck to the skin. Cool the scald for about 20 minutes

German and
European norm DIN EN 806-2 asks for a maximum of 45 °C (113 °F) in public buildings. The temperature in care homes and childcare is not to exceed 43 °C (109 °F) with a maximum of 38 °C (100 °F) in showers. The German guideline VDI 3818 generally recommends

Burn injuries may occur in two seconds, for water measuring 148 degrees
Fahrenheit, or 64 degrees Celsius. At 140 degrees Fahrenheit, or 60 degrees Celsius, scalding injuries may occur within five seconds. Scalding injuries can occur within 15 seconds of exposure to water that is 133 degrees

The temperature of tap water should not exceed 38–45 °C (100–113 °F) to prevent discomfort and scalding. However, it is necessary to keep warm water at a temperature of 55–60 °C (131–140 °F) to inhibit the growth of

In cooking, milk is typically scalded to increase its temperature, or to change the consistency or other cooking interactions due to the denaturing of proteins.

Scalds can be more severe when steam impinges on the naked skin, because steam can reach higher temperatures than water, and it transfers
