Safety of machinery - Human body measurements - Part 3: Anthropometric data
This European Standard specifies current requirements for human body measurements (anthropometric data) that are required by EN 547-1 and EN 547-2 for the calculation of access opening dimensions as applied to machinery.
The anthropometric data originate from static measurements of nude persons and do not take into account body movements, clothing, equipment, machinery operating conditions or environmental conditions.
The data are based on information from anthropometric surveys representative of population groups within Europe comprising at least three million people. Both men and women are taken into account.
Measurements are given, as required by EN 547-1 and EN 547-2, for the 5th, 95th and 99th percentiles of the relevant population group within Europe.
Sicherheit von Maschinen - Körpermaße des Menschen - Teil 3: Körpermaßdaten
Diese Europäische Norm legt aktuelle Anforderungen an menschliche Körpermaßdaten (anthropometrische Daten) fest, die in EN 547-1 und EN 547-2 zur Berechnung der Zugangs- und Durchgangsmaße, wie sie an Maschinen Verwendung finden, benötigt werden.
Die Körpermaßdaten sind abgeleitet von statischen Messungen an nackten Personen und berücksichtigen nicht Körperbewegungen, Bekleidung und Ausrüstung sowie Maschinenbetriebs- oder Umgebungsbedingungen.
Die Daten basieren auf dem zur Zeit gültigen Erkenntnisstand aus anthropometrischen Untersuchungen, die für Bevölkerungsgruppen innerhalb Europas mit wenigstens drei Millionen Einwohnern repräsentativ sind. Sowohl Männer als auch Frauen wurden berücksichtigt.
Die nach EN 547-1 und EN 547-2 benötigten Maße sind angegeben für die 5., 95. und 99. Perzentile der jeweiligen Bevölkerungsgruppe innerhalb Europas.
Sécurité des machines - Mesures du corps humain - Partie 3: Données anthropométriques
La présente norme européenne spécifie les exigences actuelles relatives aux mesures (données) anthropométriques
requises dans les EN 547-1 et EN 547-2 pour le calcul des dimensions des orifices d'accès dans le domaine
des machines.
Les données anthropométriques sont issues de mesures statiques de personnes dévêtues et ne tiennent donc pas
compte des mouvements du corps, des vêtements, de l'équipement, des conditions de fonctionnement de la
machine, ni des conditions environnementales.
Les données se basent sur des informations anthropométriques recueillies par sondages, représentatives de groupes
de population européenne comprenant au moins 3 millions de personnes, hommes comme femmes.
Les mesures se rapportent, conformément aux prescriptions des EN 547-1 et EN 547-2, aux 5e,
95e et 99e percentiles du groupe de population européenne concerné.

Overview
EN 547-3:1996+A1:2008 (CEN) provides the anthropometric data required to determine safe access opening dimensions for machinery. It supplies human body measurements derived from static surveys of European populations and is intended to be used together with EN 547-1 and EN 547-2. The standard specifies how values for the 5th, 95th and 99th percentiles are selected and applied to calculate minimum access sizes.
Key points:
- Data originate from static measurements of nude persons and do not account for clothing, tools, dynamic movements, operating conditions or environment.
- Surveys are representative of European population groups (at least three million people) and include both men and women.
- Measurements are presented to support calculation methods in EN 547-1 and EN 547-2.
Key Topics
- Anthropometric dataset: Values for the 5th, 95th and 99th percentiles that represent combined female and male populations across Europe.
- Selection rules: When national surveys report separate male/female percentiles, EN 547-3 specifies how to combine or choose values (means for some cases; conservative selection rules for 5th and 95th/99th percentiles).
- Notation and descriptions: A consistent set of measurement notations and definitions (as referenced to prEN 979) and derivation rules where some values are obtained by addition, subtraction or fixed multipliers.
- Fixed values: Where variation is minimal, fixed measurements are provided and identified.
- Normative relationship: Provides data for formulas in EN 547-1 and EN 547-2 and includes informative annexes linking the standard to EU Directives.
Applications
EN 547-3 is practical for designers, safety engineers and compliance teams who need to apply ergonomics and anthropometry to machinery safety, including:
- Calculating minimum dimensions for whole-body and partial-body access openings.
- Verifying that maintenance, inspection and operator access complies with harmonized European ergonomics guidance.
- Supporting risk assessments and CE marking by providing data referenced in the Machinery Directive informative annexes (relationship with Directive 2006/42/EC and earlier directives is included).
Benefits:
- Enables consistent, data-driven sizing of access points across products and manufacturers.
- Reduces ambiguity by giving standardized percentile values and selection rules.

SIST EN 547-3:1998+A1:2008 문서는 기계 안전성을 위한 인체 측정 및 인체 측정 데이터에 관한 유럽 표준을 제시합니다. 이 표준은 EN 547-1과 EN 547-2에서 요구하는 인체 측정치를 규정하며, 기계의 접근 구멍 크기 계산에 필수적입니다. 이 표준의 주된 강점은 유럽 내 인구 집단의 대표적인 인체 측정 데이터를 바탕으로 하여, 최소 300만 명의 사람들로부터 수집된 정적 측정값을 제공한다는 점입니다. 이러한 광범위한 데이터 수집은 기계 설계와 관련하여 보다 정확하고 효율적인 인체 치수를 결정할 수 있도록 도와줍니다. 인체 측정 데이터는 사람들이 옷을 입지 않은 상태에서의 정적 측정에 근거하므로, 기계적 운영 조건이나 환경 조건 등은 반영되지 않았습니다. 이로 인해, 기계 설계 시 사용할 때 주의가 필요하지만, 5th, 95th 및 99th 백분위수에 대한 명확한 지침을 제공함으로써, 다양한 인구 특성을 가진 사용자를 위한 설계 접근성을 높여줍니다. 결과적으로 이 문서는 기계의 안전성과 접근성을 정의하는 데 필수적인 기준을 마련하며, 다양한 사용자 요구를 충족시키는 기계 설계를 가능하게 합니다. 이를 통해 인체 측정 데이터의 중요성과 유럽 내 관련된 사용자의 안전성을 확보할 수 있는 방법을 제시합니다.
SIST EN 547-3:1998+A1:2008は、機械の安全性に関する重要な標準であり、「人体測定」の一部として位置付けられています。この標準の主な焦点は、機械のアクセス開口部の寸法計算に必要な人体測定（人間工学データ）の最新要件を定めることです。EN 547-1およびEN 547-2との関連性が強調され、実用的な適用が促進されています。 この標準の強みは、欧州内の少なくとも300万人の人口群に基づいた人間工学データを提供することです。静的な体の測定値を使用し、男女の両方を考慮に入れて測定が行われるため、アクセス開口の設計において多様なユーザー層に配慮したアプローチが可能です。特に、5パーセンタイル、95パーセンタイル、99パーセンタイルの測定値を提供することにより、極端な体型の個人にも対応できることが、この標準の比較的包括的な特性を示しています。 また、機械の運転条件や環境条件、服装、体の動きなどを考慮しない測定に基づいているため、厳密な定義に従った客観的なデータが得られます。この点は、設計者やエンジニアが安全な機械設計を行う際に信頼性の高い基準を提供することで、作業環境の安全性を一層高めることに寄与します。 EN 547-3は、機械の安全性を確保するだけでなく、ユーザーの多様性を反映した設計が求められる現代の産業界において、特にその意義が深まっています。この標準に従うことで、製品の市場競争力を高めるとともに、最終的には消費者の安全を守る基盤が築かれることが期待されます。
The standard EN 547-3:1996+A1:2008, titled "Safety of machinery - Human body measurements - Part 3: Anthropometric data," addresses a critical area in machinery safety design by providing essential anthropometric data necessary for calculating access opening dimensions in machinery as specified by EN 547-1 and EN 547-2. The scope of this standard encompasses current requirements for human body measurements, ensuring that machinery can accommodate a diverse range of users effectively. One of the significant strengths of this standard is its foundation in comprehensive anthropometric surveys that represent a broad demographic of European populations, including both men and women. By relying on data from over three million individuals, the standard enhances its relevance and applicability, ensuring that machinery designs consider varied body sizes and shapes, thereby promoting safety and accessibility. Moreover, measurements are specified at the 5th, 95th, and 99th percentiles, thereby encompassing a wide range of potential users. This tiered percentile approach recognizes the diversity in body dimensions and helps manufacturers create machinery that is ergonomic and usable for the majority of the population, thus reducing the risk of accidents and injuries linked to inadequate access openings. However, it's important to note the limitations highlighted in the standard. The anthropometric data is derived from static measurements of nude persons, explicitly excluding factors such as body movements, clothing, equipment, and environmental conditions. While this specificity ensures precision in measurements, it may limit the direct application of the data in real-world scenarios where dynamic conditions play a crucial role in user interaction with machinery. In summary, EN 547-3:1996+A1:2008 serves as a vital reference for ensuring machinery safety through informed design based on anthropometric data. Its thorough survey foundation and consideration of extensive body dimensions affirm its relevance in crafting machinery that prioritizes user safety and comfort.
