Safety of machinery - Indication, marking and actuation -- Part 3: Requirements for the location and operation of actuators

Specifies safety-related requirements for actuators, operated by the hand or by other parts of the human body, at the human-machine interface. It gives general requirements for the standard direction of movement for actuators; the arrangement of an actuator in relation to other actuators; the correlation between an action and its final effects. It includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: Table 1, Table 2 and Table A.1 have been revised editorially.

Overview

EN 61310-3:2008 - Safety of machinery - Indication, marking and actuation - Part 3: Requirements for the location and operation of actuators - specifies safety-related requirements for actuators at the human‑machine interface. It is the CENELEC adoption of IEC 61310-3:2007 and updates the 1999 edition (editorial revisions to Table 1, Table 2 and Table A.1). The standard applies to actuators operated by the hand or other parts of the human body and is relevant for electrotechnical, mechanical and fluid-powered control systems (touch screens are excluded).

Key topics

• Scope and applicability
  • Single actuators and groups forming part of an assembly.
  • Applicable across technologies (electrical, mechanical, fluid) except touchscreen specifics.
• Location and layout
  • Position actuators to be outside hazard zones where possible and avoid layouts that increase risk (e.g., mirror‑symmetric control panels).
  • Place stop actuators near start actuators; provide separate stop where hold‑to‑run devices could fail to stop.
• Operation and ergonomics
  • Define and apply standard directions of movement consistent with final effects.
  • Design and select actuators following ergonomic principles and environmental/use conditions.
• Actions and final effects
  • Correlate operator actions (movement of finger/hand/foot) with intended final effects and provide clear feedback so the operator can recognize effect completion.
  • The standard includes classification tables for final effects and actions and illustrative examples in Annex A.
• Normative references
  • Relates to IEC 60073, IEC 60447, IEC 61310‑1/2 and ISO guidance (ISO 12100, ISO 1503, ISO 9355‑2, ISO 13851).

Applications

• Control panel design and layout for industrial machinery
• Placement and design of emergency stop, start/stop and hold‑to‑run devices
• Human‑machine interface (HMI) engineering for packaging, manufacturing and process equipment
• Safety assessments, risk reduction measures and CE conformity documentation
• Ergonomic verification during machine design and commissioning

Who should use it

• Machine designers and OEMs seeking safe actuator layouts
• Functional safety and machine safety engineers
• HMI/UX designers for industrial controls and control panel specialists
• Compliance officers preparing conformity with EU Machinery Directives (noting Annex ZZ coverage)
• Integrators and safety auditors performing layout and usability reviews

Related standards

• IEC 61310-1, IEC 61310-2 (parts of the same series)
• IEC 60073, IEC 60447 (man‑machine interface principles)
• ISO 12100, ISO 13851, ISO 9355‑2, ISO 1503

EN 61310-3:2008 helps ensure actuator location and operation are unambiguous, ergonomic and safe - supporting risk reduction, regulatory compliance and better operator interaction with machinery.

FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 61310-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 44: Safety of machinery – Electrotechnical aspects. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1999 and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: – Table 1, Table 2 and Table A.1 have been revised editorially.
