  Description:

Safety of machinery - Pressure-sensitive protective devices - Part 2: General principles for design and testing of pressure-sensitive edges and pressure-sensitive bars (ISO 13856-2:2013)

  Purpose

This part of ISO 13856 establishes general principles and specifies requirements for the design and testing of pressure-sensitive edges and pressure-sensitive bars used as safeguards and not as actuating devices for normal operation. It is applicable to pressure-sensitive edges and pressure-sensitive bars, with or without an external reset facility, used to detect persons or body parts of them which can be exposed to a hazard such as moving parts. This part of ISO 13856 is primarily aimed at safety and reliability rather than suitability. For the relationship between safety and reliability see ISO 13849-1:2006, 4.2. This document is restricted to the functioning of pressure-sensitive edges and pressure-sensitive bars and does not specify the requirements for their application (e.g. dimensions with regard to a particular application). However, Clause 6 contains requirements for the information for use to be provided by the manufacturer. This part of ISO 13856 does not apply to stopping devices according to IEC 60204-1 used only for normal operation, including emergency stopping, of machinery. Additional requirements can be necessary, where pressure-sensitive edges or pressure-sensitive bars are used in locations accessible to elderly or disabled people or children.
