The maximum permissible disconnection time is 0.4 s in TN system. Why and from where this value (0.4 s) is obtained?

The maximum permissible disconnection time in in the event of a short circuit between a phase conductor and a body or protective conductor or a protective-neutral conductor is 0.4 s in TN system. Does anybody know this value (0.4 s) obtains from where? How this value is obtained?
Hmm. What about Charlie the aged fitter/turner standing on a wet concrete floor whilst operating his lathe grasping a chrome operating handle of his lathe which is supplied from a 40A final circuit? He is wearing his worn out old leather soled army boots.
Now look what you have gone and made me do - I couldn't concentrate until I had gone and checked the earth continuity on my own lathe. ?
