Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).

Introduction
The structure of safety standards in the field of machinery is as follows:
a) type-A standards (basic safety standards) giving basic concepts, principles for design and general
aspects that can be applied to all machinery;
b) type-B standards (generic safety standards) dealing with one safety aspect or one or more type(s)
of safeguard that can be used across a wide range of machinery:
— type-B1 standards on particular safety aspects (e.g. safety distances, surface temperature, noise);
— type-B2 standards on safeguards (e.g. two-hand controls, interlocking devices, pressure
sensitive devices, guards);
c) type-C standards (machine safety standards) dealing with detailed safety requirements for a
particular machine or group of machines.
This document is a type-B2 standard as stated in ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the
market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
In addition, this document is intended for standardization bodies elaborating type-C standards.
The requirements of this document can be supplemented or modified by a type-C standard.
For machines that are covered by the scope of a type-C standard and have been designed and built
according to the requirements of that standard, the requirements of that type-C standard take
precedence.
A two-hand control device (THCD) is a protective device. It provides protection for the operator against
reaching danger zones during hazardous situations by locating the control actuating devices in a
specific position and distance from the danger zone(s).
The selection of a THCD as an appropriate safety device depends upon the risk assessment made by
designers, standard makers and others in accordance with ISO 12100.
The definition of a THCD is given in 3.1 and takes precedence over the definition given in ISO 12100.
In some arrangements, enabling devices (see ISO 12100) and/or hold-to-run devices (see ISO 12100)
may comply with the definition of a THCD in this document. Additionally, some special control devices
— such as some crane controls — require the use of two hands and can comply with the definition of a
THCD in this document.

Safety of machinery — Two-hand control devices —
Principles for design and selection
1 Scope
This document specifies the safety requirements of a two-hand control device (THCD) and the
dependency of the output signal from the actuation by hand of the control actuating devices.
This document describes the main characteristics of THCDs for the achievement of safety and sets out
combinations of functional characteristics for three types. It does not apply to devices intended to be
used as enabling devices, as hold-to-run devices or as special control devices.
This document does not specify with which machines THCDs shall be used. It also does not specify which
types of two-hand-control device shall be used for a specific application. Moreover, while guidance is
given, it does not specify the required distance between the THCD and the danger zone (see 8.8).
This document provides requirements for design and guidance on the selection (based on a risk
assessment) of THCDs including the prevention of defeat, the avoidance of faults and verification of
compliance.
NOTE 1 A THCD only offers protection for the person using it.
NOTE 2 For specific machines, the suitability of a two-hand control as a suitable protective device can be
defined in a type-C standard. If such a standard does not exist or is not appropriate, the risk assessment and
determination of suitable protective measures is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the machine.
This document applies to all THCDs, independent of the energy used, including:
— THCDs which are fully assembled for installation;
— THCDs which are assembled by the machine manufacturer or integrator.
This document is not applicable to THCDs manufactured before the date of its publication.

Introduction
The structure of safety standards in the field of machinery is as follows:
a) type-A standards (basic safety standards) giving basic concepts, principles for design, and general
aspects that can be applied to all machinery;
b) type-B standards (generic safety standards) dealing with one safety aspect or one or more type(s)
of safeguard that can be used across a wide range of machinery:
— type-B1 standards on particular safety aspects (e.g. safety distances, surface temperature, noise);
— type-B2 standards on safeguards (e.g. two-hand controls, interlocking devices, pressure
sensitive devices, guards);
c) type-C standards (machine safety standards) dealing with detailed safety requirements for a
particular machine or group of machines.
This International Standard is a type-B1 standard as stated in ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the
market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance etc.);
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document
by the above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
In addition, this document is intended for standardization bodies elaborating type-C standards.
The requirements of this document can be supplemented or modified by a type-C standard.
For machines that are covered by the scope of a type-C standard and have been designed and built
according to the requirements of that standard, the requirements of that type-C standard take
precedence.
A two-hand control device (THCD) is a safety device (safety component). It provides a measure of
protection for the operator against reaching danger zones during hazardous situations by locating
the control actuating devices in a specific position. For hand-held machinery, it should be taken into
consideration that the danger zone is not stationary.
The selection of a THCD as an appropriate safety device will depend upon the risk assessment made by
designers, standard makers and others in accordance with ISO 12100.
The definition of a THCD is given in 3.1 and takes precedence over the definition given in ISO 12100.
In some arrangements, enabling devices (see ISO 12100) and/or hold-to-run devices (see ISO 12100)
may comply with the definition of a THCD in this International Standard. Additionally, some special
control devices — such as teach pendants for robots and some crane controls — require the use of two
hands and can comply with the definition of a THCD in this International Standard.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 13851:2017(E)
Safety of machinery — Two-hand control devices —
Functional aspects and design principles
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the safety requirements of a THCD and the dependency of the
output signal from the input signals.
This International Standard describes the main characteristics of THCDs for the achievement of safety
and sets out combinations of functional characteristics for three types. It does not apply to devices
intended to be used as enabling devices, as hold-to-run devices or as special control devices.
This International Standard does not specify with which machines THCDs shall be used. It also does not
specify which types of two-hand-control device shall be used. Moreover, it does not specify the distance
between the THCD and the danger zone (see 8.8).
This International Standard provides requirements and guidance on the design and selection (based on a
risk assessment) of THCDs including their assessment, the prevention of defeat and the avoidance of faults.
This International Standard applies to all THCDs, independent of the energy used, including:
— THCDs which are or are not integral parts of a machine;
— THCDs which consist of one or more than one separate element.

NOTE Guidance on risk assessment is given in ISO 12100 and detailed examples can be found in
ISO/TR 14121-2.
5 Characteristics of two hand control device
5.1 General
The characteristics described in 5.2 to 5.8 shall be included in THCDs in accordance with Table 1. The
objective is to ensure that the operator's hands are located safely and to prevent an unexpected start-up.

oSIST prEN ISO 13851:2018
ISO/DIS 13851:2017(E)

5.2 Use of both hands (simultaneous actuation)
The THCD shall be designed so that the operator must use both hands simultaneously, one hand on each
control-actuating device, to operate the THCD. This is simultaneous actuation and is independent of any
time lag between the initiations of each of the two input signals (see Figure 2).
5.3 Relationship between input signals and output signal
The input signals applied to each of the two control actuating devices shall together initiate and
maintain the output signal from the THCD only so long as both input signals are applied. The form
of the output signal (e.g. number of channels, pulse, shape, etc.) may vary depending on the design
requirements in each case. It shall always be regarded as, and shall be identified as, a single output
signal by the machine control circuit.
5.4 Cessation of the output signal
The release of either one or both control actuating devices shall initiate the cessation of the output signal.
5.5 Prevention of accidental operation
The probability of operating the control actuating devices accidentally shall be minimized (see Clauses
7 and 8).
5.6 Prevention of defeat
The protective effect of the THCD shall not be easily defeated (see Clauses 7 and 8).
5.7 Re-initiation of the output signal
The re-initiation of the output signal shall only be possible after the release of both control actuating
devices.
5.8 Synchronous actuation
5.8.1 An output signal shall be generated only when both control actuating devices are actuated in a
time lag which is less than or equal to 0,5 s (see Figure 2).
For type III the control actuating devices shall be actuated with a tolerance on the simultaneity of
actuation less than or equal to 0,5 s between the activation of one control activation device and the
activation of the second control activation device. This is considered to be synchronous operation. See
Figure 2.

5.8.2 If the control actuating devices are not actuated synchronously, the output signal shall be
prevented and it shall be necessary to release both control actuating devices and to re-apply both input
signals.
NOTE Where two or more THCDs are used to operate one machine, synchronous actuation is required only
within each THCD and is not required between devices.
6 Two hand control safety functions
6.1 Prevention of unexpected start-up
The output signal from the THCD shall only become “active” (potentially allowing an unsafe condition
in the interfaced machine) while both actuators of the THCD are actuated and remain actuated. This
safety function shall be achieved to an equivalent (or better) integrity level to the CAT/PL (or SIL) as per
Table 1 for the subject Type of THCD.
6.2 Prevention of blocking
A subsequent output signal from the THCD shall not be possible unless the THCD actuators have both
been released. This safety function shall be achieved to an equivalent (or better) integrity level to the
CAT/PL (or SIL) as per Table 1 for the subject Type of THCD.
7 Prevention of accidental actuation and of defeat
7.1 Common considerations
The control actuating devices of a THCD shall be designed and arranged in such a way that the
protective effect of the THCD cannot be easily defeated and that the probability of accidental actuation
is minimized, in accordance with the risk assessment for the particular application.
The use of one hand alone, the use of possible combinations of one hand and/or other parts of the body
and/or the use of simple aids which allow defeat shall all be considered, so that it shall not be possible to

ISO/DIS 13851:2017(E)

reach into the danger zone during a hazardous situation. Accidental actuation (e.g. by the clothes of the
operator) shall be considered in the same way.
Simple aids can be e.g. bridges, cords or tapes. The selection of dissimilar actuating directions, covers,
shapes, etc., shall minimize the possibilities of defeat. The possibility of a THCD being operated by two
persons, thus leaving two hands free, can be overcome by using synchronous actuation.
NOTE Total protection from “defeat” is not possible.
7.2 to 7.6 show some separate individual ways in which defeat is possible, together with some
precautionary measures for prevention. The methods of defeat that shall be considered will depend
upon the design of the THCD, the operating conditions, the method of attachment and positioning of the
THCD and the specified safety distance requirements, etc.
7.7 shows some ways of preventing accidental actuation.
The precautionary measures listed may be required singly or in combination to meet this International
Standard. The test procedures which shall be applied to the most common types of design are set out
in 9.5. For other designs of THCD, these test procedures may or may not be applicable. In these cases,
a hazard analysis and an assessment of the risk of the possible use and/or misuse of that design of
THCD shall be carried out and appropriate measures shall be taken to comply with this International
Standard.
7.2 Prevention of defeat using one hand
Measures to prevent defeat by using one hand shall be provided. Examples of suitable measures are:
— separation of the control actuating devices by at least 260 mm (internal dimension);
— the provision of one or more shields or an elevated area between the control actuating devices,
designed in such a way that the control actuating devices are separated by a distance of at least
260 mm around the shields.
7.3 Prevention of defeat using the hand an
