Safety of machinery - Pressure sensitive protective devices - Part 1: General principles for the design and testing of pressure sensitive mats and pressure sensitive floors

This Standard specifies requirements for pressure sensitive mats and floors normally actuated by the feet for use as safety devices to protect persons from dangerous machinery. The minimum safety requirements for the performance, marking and documentation are given.
The Standard covers pressure sensitive mats and floors, regardless of type of energy used, e.g. electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical.
This standard covers mats and floors designed to detect:
a)   Persons weighing more than 35 kg;
b)   And persons (e.g. children) weighing more than 20 kg.
The detection of persons weighing less than 20 kg is not covered by this standard.
This European Standard does not specify the dimensions or the configuration of the effective sensing area of pressure sensitive mat(s) or floor(s) in relation to any particular application.

Sicherheit von Maschinen - Druckempfindliche Schutzeinrichtungen - Teil 1: Allgemeine Leitsätze für die Gestaltung und Prüfung von Schaltmatten und Schaltplatten

Diese Norm legt Anforderungen für Schaltmatten und Schaltplatten fest, die normalerweise mit den Füßen betätigt werden und als Schutzeinrichtungen zum Schutz von Personen vor Gefahren, die von Maschinen ausgehen, Verwendung finden. Die Mindestsicherheitsanforderungen für die Wirkung, Kennzeichnung und Dokumentation sind gegeben.
Diese Norm befasst sich mit Schaltmatten und Schaltplatten, unabhängig der angewendeten Energie, z. B. elektrisch, hydraulisch, pneumatisch oder mechanisch.
Diese Norm behandelt Schaltmatten und Schaltplatten, welche
a)   Personen mit einem Körpergewicht von mehr als 35 kg;
b)   und Personen (z. B. Kinder) mit einem Körpergewicht von mehr als 20 kg erkennen.
Das Erkennen von Personen mit einem Körpergewicht von weniger als 20 kg wird in dieser Norm nicht behandelt.
Diese Europäische Norm legt nicht die Abmessungen und Anordnungsformen der wirksamen Betätigungs-flächen der Schaltmatten und Schaltplatten fest, in Bezug auf eine besondere Anwendung.

Sécurité des machines - Dispositifs de protection sensibles à la pression - Partie 1: Principes généraux de conception et d'essai des tapis et planchers sensibles à la pression

La présente norme contient des prescriptions relatives à des tapis et des planchers sensibles normalement actionnés
par les pieds destinés à être utilisés comme dispositifs de protection des personnes en machinerie. Les prescriptions
de sécurité minimales pour les performances, le marquage et la documentation sont données.
La norme couvre tapis et planchers sensibles à la pression quel que soit le type d'énergie mise en oeuvre par exemple
électrique, hydraulique, pneumatique ou mécanique.
La présente norme couvre tapis et planchers conçus pour détecter :
a) des personnes pesant plus de 35 kg ;
b) et des personnes (par exemple des enfants) pesant plus de 20 kg.
La détection d'enfants pesant moins de 20 kg n'est pas couverte par la présente norme.
Cette norme ne spécifie pas les dimensions ou la configuration de la surface sensible effective de tapis ou plancher(s)
pour toute application spécifique.
