Safety of machinery - Positioning of safeguards with respect to the approach speeds of parts of the human body (ISO 13855:2010)
This International Standard establishes the positioning of safeguards with respect to the approach speeds of parts of the human body. It specifies parameters based on values for approach speeds of parts of the human body and provides a methodology to determine the minimum distances to a hazard zone from the detection zone or from actuating devices of safeguards. The values for approach speeds (walking speed and upper limb movement) in this International Standard are time tested and proven in practical experience. This International Standard gives guidance for typical approaches. Other types of approach, for example running, jumping or falling, are not considered in this International Standard. Safeguards considered in this International Standard include: a) electro-sensitive protective equipment [see IEC 61496 (all parts)], including: - light curtains and light grids (AOPDs); - laser scanners (AOPDDRs) and two-dimensional vision systems; b) pressure-sensitive protective equipment (see ISO 13856-1, ISO 13856-2 and ISO 13856-3), especially pressure-sensitive mats; c) two-hand control devices (see ISO 13851); d) interlocking guards without guard locking (see ISO 14119). This International Standard specifies minimum distances from the detection zone, plane, line, point or interlocking guard access point to the hazard zone for hazards caused by the machine (e.g. crushing, shearing, drawing-in). Protection against the risks from hazards arising from the ejection of solid or fluid materials, emissions, radiation and electricity are not covered by this International Standard. The International Standard is not applicable to safeguards (e.g. pendant two-hand control devices) that can be moved, without using tools, nearer to the hazard zone than the calculated minimum distance. The minimum distances derived from this International Standard are not applicable to safeguards used to detect the presence of persons within an area already protected by a guard or electro-sensitive protective equipment.
Sicherheit von Maschinen - Anordnung von Schutzeinrichtungen im Hinblick auf Annäherungsgeschwindigkeiten von Körperteilen (ISO 13855:2010)
Dieses Dokument behandelt die Anordnung von Schutzeinrichtungen im Hinblick auf die Annäherungsgeschwindigkeiten
von Körperteilen.
Diese Norm gibt Parameter, die auf Werten für Annäherungsgeschwindigkeiten von Körperteilen basieren,
und die Vorgehensweise an, wie die Mindestabstände von Schutzfeldern oder Betätigungseinrichtungen von
Schutzeinrichtungen zu einem Gefährdungsbereich bestimmt werden.
In dieser Norm wird davon ausgegangen, dass die Annäherung von Personen in Richtung des Gefährdungsbereichs
mit Schrittgeschwindigkeit erfolgen wird, d. h. 1 600 mm/s und die Annäherungsgeschwindigkeit von
Oberarmen 2 000 mm/s beträgt. Andere Arten der Annäherung, zum Beispiel Laufen oder Springen, werden
in der vorliegenden Norm nicht berücksichtigt.
Die in dieser Norm berücksichtigte Schutzeinrichtung umfasst:
⎯ berührungslos wirkende Schutzeinrichtungen (siehe IEC 61496, sämtliche Teile), einschließlich:
⎯ Lichtvorhänge und Lichtgitter (AOPD);
⎯ Laserscanner (AOPDDR) und zweidimensionale Sichtsysteme;
⎯ druckempfindliche Schutzeinrichtungen (siehe ISO 13856-Reihe), insbesondere Schaltmatten;
⎯ Zweihandschaltungen (siehe ISO 13851);
⎯ verriegelte trennende Schutzeinrichtungen ohne Zuhaltung (siehe ISO 14119).
Diese Norm legt für Gefährdungen, die durch die beweglichen Teile der Maschine verursacht werden (z. B.
Quetschen, Scheren, Einziehen), die Abstände vom Schutzfeld, von der Schutzfläche, -linie oder vom Schutzpunkt
zum Gefährdungsbereich fest.
Schutz gegen die Risiken von Gefährdungen durch das Herausschleudern fester oder flüssiger Materialien,
durch Emissionen, Strahlung und Elektrizität wird in dieser Norm nicht behandelt.
Sécurité des machines - Positionnement des moyens de protection par rapport à la vitesse d'approche des parties du corps (ISO 13855:2010)
L'ISO 13855:2010 traite du positionnement des moyens de protection par rapport à la vitesse d'approche des parties du corps.
Elle spécifie des paramètres basés sur les valeurs des vitesses d'approche des parties du corps et fournit une méthodologie pour déterminer les distances minimales entre la zone de détection ou les dispositifs d'actionnement des moyens de protection et la zone dangereuse.
Les valeurs des vitesses d'approche (vitesse de marche et mouvement des parties supérieures du corps) de l'ISO 13855:2010 ont été chronométrées et vérifiées lors d'expériences pratiques. L'ISO 13855:2010 donne des conseils pour des approches types. Les autres types d'approche, par exemple en courant, en sautant ou en tombant, ne sont pas pris en compte dans l'ISO 13855:2010.
Les moyens de protection considérés dans l'ISO 13855:2010 comprennent les équipements de protection électrosensibles (voir la CEI 61496, toutes les parties), y compris les barrières immatérielles et les cellules lumineuses (AOPD), ains que les scanners à laser (AOPDDR) et les systèmes de vision bidimensionnelle; les équipements de protection sensibles à la pression (voir l'ISO 13856‑1, l'ISO 13856‑2 et l'ISO 13856‑3), notamment les tapis sensibles; les dispositifs de commande bimanuelle (voir l'ISO 13851); et les protecteurs sans dispositif d'interverrouillage (voir l'ISO 14119).
Varnost strojev - Postavitev varovalne opreme glede na hitrost približevanja delov človeškega telesa (ISO 13855:2010)
Ta mednarodni standard vzpostavlja postavitev varovalne opreme glede na hitrost približevanja delov človeškega telesa. Določa parametre, osnovane na vrednostih hitrosti približevanja delov človeškega telesa. Ta mednarodni standard zagotavlja metodologijo za določevanje minimalne razdalje do nevarnega območja iz območja detekcije ali od naprav za aktiviranje varovalne opreme. Vrednosti za hitrosti približevanja (hitrost hoje in gibanje zgornjih okončin) v tem mednarodnem standardu so časovno preskušene in dokazane s praktičnimi izkušnjami. Ta mednarodni standard podaja vodila za tipične pristope. Ostale vrste pristopov, na primer tek, skakanje ali padanje, se ne obravnavajo v tem mednarodnem standardu.
Varovalne opreme v tem mednarodnem standardu vključujejo: a) elektro-občutljivo zaščitno opremo [glej IEC 61496 (vsi deli)], vključno s/Z: - svetlobnimi zavesami in svetlobnimi mrežami (AOPD); - laserskimi optičnimi bralniki (AOPDDR) in dvodimenzionalnim slikovnim sistemom; b) zaščitno opremo, občutljivo na pritisk (glej ISO 13856-1, ISO 13856-2 in ISO 13856-3), še posebej pragove, občutljive na pritisk; c) dvoročne nadzorne naprave (glej ISO 13851); d) zaporna varovala brez zapore varovala (glej ISO 14119). Ta mednarodni standard določa minimalne razdalje iz območja detekcije, navadno, linijsko, točkovno ali zaporno varovalno dostopno točko do nevarnega območja, za nevarnosti, ki jih povzroči stroj (npr. zdrobitev, rezanje, potegnitve v stroj). Zaščita pred tveganji zaradi nevarnosti, ki lahko nastanejo zaradi izmeta trdnih ali tekočih materialov, emisij, sevanja, in elektrike, ni zajeta v tem mednarodnem standardu. Ta mednarodni standard ne velja za varovalno opremo (npr. viseče dvoročne nadzorne naprave), ki se lahko premikajo brez uporabe orodij, bližje območju nevarnosti kot je preračunana minimalna razdalja. Minimalne razdalje, izpeljane iz tega mednarodnega standarda, ne veljajo za varovalno opremo, uporabljeno za detekcijo prisotnosti oseb znotraj območja, že zaščitenega z varovalom ali elektro-občutljivo zaščitno opremo.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
ISO 13855 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 199, Safety of machinery.

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-B standard as stated in ISO 12100-1.
The requirements of this document can be supplemented or modified by a type-C standard.
For machines which are covered by the scope of a type-C standard and which have been designed and built
according to the requirements of that type-C standard, the following applies: if the requirements of that type-C
standard deviate from the requirements in type-B standards, the requirements of that type-C standard take
precedence over the provisions of other standards.
The effectiveness of certain types of safeguard described in this International Standard to minimize risk relies,
in part, on the relevant parts of that equipment being correctly positioned in relation to the hazard zone. In
deciding on these positions, a number of aspects are taken into account, such as:
⎯ the necessity of a risk assessment according to ISO 14121-1;
⎯ the practical experience in the use of the machine;
⎯ the overall system stopping performance;
⎯ the time taken to ensure the safe condition of the machine following operation of the safeguard, for
example to stop the machine;
⎯ the bio-mechanical and anthropometric data;
⎯ any intrusion by a part of the body towards the hazard zone until the protective device is actuated;
⎯ the path taken by the body part when moving from the detection zone towards the hazard zone;
⎯ the possible presence of a person between the safeguard and the hazard zone;
⎯ the possibility of undetected access to the hazard zone.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 13855:2010(E)
Safety of machinery — Positioning of safeguards with respect
to the approach speeds of parts of the human body
1 Scope
This International Standard establishes the positioning of safeguards with respect to the approach speeds of
parts of the human body.
It specifies parameters based on values for approach speeds of parts of the human body and provides a
methodology to determine the minimum distances to a hazard zone from the detection zone or from actuating
devices of safeguards.
The values for approach speeds (walking speed and upper limb movement) in this International Standard are
time tested and proven in practical experience. This International Standard gives guidance for typical
approaches. Other types of approach, for example running, jumping or falling, are not considered in this
International Standard.
NOTE 1 Other types of approach can result in approach speeds that are higher or lower than those defined in this
International Standard.
Safeguards considered in this International Standard include:
a) electro-sensitive protective equipment [see IEC 61496 (all parts)], including:
⎯ light curtains and light grids (AOPDs);
⎯ laser scanners (AOPDDRs) and two-dimensional vision systems;
b) pressure-sensitive protective equipment (see ISO 13856-1, ISO 13856-2 and ISO 13856-3), especially
pressure-sensitive mats;
c) two-hand control devices (see ISO 13851);
d) interlocking guards without guard locking (see ISO 14119).
This International Standard specifies minimum distances from the detection zone, plane, line, point or
interlocking guard access point to the hazard zone for hazards caused by the machine (e.g. crushing,
shearing, drawing-in).
Protection against the risks from hazards arising from the ejection of solid or fluid materials, emissions,
radiation and electricity are not covered by this International Standard.
NOTE 2 Anthropometric data from the 5th to the 95th percentile of persons of 14 years and older were used in the
determination of the intrusion distance value “C” in the equations.
NOTE 3 The data in this International Standard are based on experience of industrial application; it is the responsibility
of the designer to take this into account when using this International Standard for non-industrial applications.
NOTE 4 Data specifically for children have not been used in this International Standard. Until specific data are
available for approach speeds for children, it is the responsibility of the designer to calculate the distances taking into
account that children might be quicker and that a child might be detected later.

4 Methodology
Figure 1 provides a schematic representation of the methodology for determining the correct positioning of
sensing or actuating devices of safeguards in accordance with this International Standard, which is as follows.
a) Identify the hazards and assess the risks (as specified in ISO 12100-1 and ISO 14121-1);
b) If a type-C standard exists for the machine, select one of the specified types of safeguard from that
machine-specific standard, and then use the distance specified by that standard;
NOTE 1 Type-C standards specify minimum distances directly or by reference to this International Standard.
c) If there is no type-C standard, use the equations in this International Standard to calculate the minimum
distance for the safeguard selected;
NOTE 2 For selection of the appropriate type of safeguard, see ISO 12100-2:2003, Clause 5, and IEC/TS 62046.
d) If it is possible to circumvent (go around) the detection zone, an additional calculation using the equations
in 6.5 shall be made;
e) Where combinations of safeguards are used, a calculation of the minimum distance shall be made, taking
into account each safeguard and possible circumventing;
f) Calculate the minimum distances for each possibility of reaching the hazard zone. Then select the most
protective (greatest) of the minimum distances;
g) If possible, incorporate the distance(s) in the machine design, otherwise see step i);
h) Check that the installation of the safeguard does not allow access without detection. If undetected access
is possible, redesign [step i)], otherwise go to step j);
i) Can parameters be modified or alternative safeguards be used? If neither is possible, additional
safeguards shall be used;
j) Check whether the determined position allows persons to remain between the safeguard and the hazard
zone without being detected. In this case, supplementary measures will be required depending on an
additional risk assessment.
NOTE 3 An example of a supplementary measure is a manual reset switch positioned outside the hazard zone and
the space between the safeguard and the hazard zone. Its position is selected to allow someone operating it to
readily check that no one is within the hazard zone or in the space between the safeguard and the hazard zone. For
the requirements of a manual reset function, see ISO 13849-1:2006, 5.2.2.

5 General equation for the calculation of the overall system stopping performance
and minimum distances
5.1 Overall system stopping performance
The overall system stopping performance comprises at least two phases. The two phases are linked by
Equation (1):
Tt=+t (1)
12
where
T is the overall system stopping performance;
t is the maximum time between the occurrence of the actuation of the safeguard and the output signal
1
achieving the OFF-state;
t is the stopping time, which is the maximum time required to terminate the hazardous machine
2
function after the output signal from the safeguard achieves the OFF-state. The response time of the
control system of the machine shall be included in t .
2
t and t are influenced by various factors, e.g. temperature, switching time of valves, ageing of components.
1 2
t and t are illustrated in Figure 2. t and t are functions of the safeguard and the machine, respectively, and
1 2 1 2
are determined by design and evaluated by measurement. The evaluation of these two values shall include
the uncertainties resulting from the measurements, calculations and/or construction.
a
Actuation of safeguard.
b
Operation of safeguard (OFF signal generated).
c
Termination of hazardous machine function (safe condition).

The overall system stopping performance, T, is an essential characteristic for the location of the protective
device. Any deviation of the stopping time of the machine, t , shall be taken into account during the estimation
2
of T (see Annex D). Where the stopping time can deteriorate during the lifetime of the machine, technical or
organizational measures should be taken to ensure the correct overall system stopping performance. These
measures can be, for example:
⎯ braking performance control devices;
⎯ checks, the nature and the frequency of which should be defined in the user's manual.
NOTE There can be additional aspects to take into account, e.
