Safety of machinery - Positioning of safeguards with respect to the approach of the human body (ISO 13855:2024); German version EN ISO 13855:2024
Abstract
This document covers the positioning of safeguards with respect to the approach speeds of parts of the human body. This standard specifies parameters based on values for hand/arm and approach speeds and provides the methodology to determine the minimum distances from detection zones or actuating devices of protective equipment to a hazard zone. This standard specifies distances from the detection zone to the hazardous area. Protection against the risks from hazards arising from emissions (e.g. the ejection of solid or fluid materials, radiation, electric arcs, heat, noise, fumes, gases), are not covered by this document
