Safety of machinery - Ergonomics requirements for the design of displays and control actuators - Part 3: Control actuators

This European Standard gives guidance on the selection, design and location of control actuators so that they are adapted to the requirements of the operators, are suitable for the control task in question and take account of the circumstances of their use.
It applies to manual control actuators used in equipment for occupational and private use. It is particularly important to observe the recommendations in this European Standard where operating a control actuator may lead to injury or damage to health, either directly or as a result of a human error.

Sicherheit von Maschinen - Ergonomische Anforderungen an die Gestaltung von Anzeigen und Stellteilen - Teil 3: Stellteile

Diese Europäische Norm enthält Empfehlungen über die Auswahl, Gestaltung und Anordnung von Stellteilen, um eine Anpassung an die Anforderungen des Operators, die Eignung für die in Frage kommenden Steuerungsaufgaben und die Einsatzbedingungen zu berücksichtigen.
Sie gilt für handbetätigte Stellteile an Arbeitsmitteln für gewerbliche und private Zwecke. Es ist besonders wichtig, die Empfehlungen dieser Europäischen Norm zu berücksichtigen, wenn die Betätigung eines Stellteils entweder direkt oder aufgrund eines menschlichen Fehlverhaltens zu Verletzungen oder gesundheitlichen Schäden führen kann.

Sécurité des machines - Exigences ergonomiques pour la conception des dispositifs de signalisation et des organes de service - Partie 3: Organes de service

La présente norme européenne donne des recommandations sur la sélection, la conception et l’emplacement des
organes de service de telle sorte qu’ils soient adaptés aux exigences des opérateurs et qu’ils conviennent à la tâche
impliquant la commande concernée en tenant compte de leurs conditions d’utilisation.
Elle s’applique aux organes de service manuels utilisés avec les équipements à usage professionnel et privé.
Le respect des recommandations de la présente norme européenne est particulièrement important lorsque
l’utilisation d’un organe de service peut induire des risques en matière de santé et de sécurité, soit directement,
soit suite à une erreur humaine.

The task requirements do not need to be evaluated precisely, therefore the detailed evaluation procedure given in 5.2 and 5.3, show classification systems that have been found to be sufficiently accurate. The characteristics of the various types of control actuator need to be considered to determine the available selection options. This standard gives information on both movement characteristics and grip characteristics. In many cases some of the characteristics will have been predetermined by the task requirements. Movement characteristics: j) Type of movement; k) Axis of movement; l) Direction of movement; m) Continuity of movement; n) Angle of rotation for continuous rotary movements > 180° Grip characteristics: o) Type of grip; p) Part of hand applying force; q) Method of applying force. The above categories a - q are used throughout this standard. The shorter descriptions given in brackets after the full descriptions are used in table headings where space is limited.
