This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2009. This document includes Amendment 1, approved by CEN on 2009-02-15 and Corrigendum 1, issued by CEN on 2006-01-25. This document supersedes EN 1760-3:2004. The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags ! ". The modifications of the related CEN Corrigendum have been implemented at the appropriate places in the text and are indicated by the tags ˜ ™. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). !For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are integral parts of this document." This is the third part of a multi-part standard dealing with pressure sensitive protective devices which will cover safety devices that detect the presence of a person through the application of a pressure or force by a part of the persons body. After actuation they give a stop command which is used by the control system of a machine to provide protection for the person who caused the device to be actuated. The other parts are: EN 1760-1, Safety of machinery - Pressure sensitive protective devices - Part 1: General principles for the design and testing of pressure sensitive mats and pressure sensitive floors. EN 1760-2, Safety of machinery - Pressure sensitive protective devices - Part 2: General principles for design and testing of pressure sensitive edges and pressure sensitive bars. The safeguarding of machinery (see EN ISO 12100-1: 2003, 3.20) can be achieved by many different means. These means include guards which prevent access to the hazard zone by means of a physical barrier (e.g. fixed guards to EN 953 and interlocking guards to EN 1088); and protective devices, (e.g. electro-sensitive protective equipment to EN 61496 and pressure-sensitive protective devices to this European Standard). Designers of machinery (including e.g. vehicles) should consider the way to achieve the required level of safety taking into account the intended application and the results of the risk assessment (see
!EN ISO 14121-1"). The best solution may combine several of these different means. It is recommended that the machinery / vehicle supplier and the user examine together carefully the existing constraints before making their decision on the choice of safeguarding means. This European Standard does not specify the dimensions and the configuration of the effective sensing surface of pressure sensitive protective devices in relation to any particular application. However, there is a requirement for the manufacturer of any safety device to provide sufficient information to enable the user (i.e. the machinery manufacturer and / or the user of the machinery) to specify an adequate arrangement.

EN 1760-3:2004+A1:2009 (E) 6 Introduction Pressure sensitive protective devices are used in a wide range of applications with different conditions of use relating, for example, to the maximum and minimum values of loading, electrical, physical and chemical environments. They are interfaced with machinery controls to ensure that the machine reverts to a safe condition when the device is actuated. The forces given in this document should not be considered as those which will always avoid injury or fatal accidents. This depends upon several criteria which include the sensor, the actuating speed, the contact area, the material used and the part of the body affected. The forces given in this document are primarily intended for the purpose of assessing the performance of the pressure-sensitive protective devices. These forces are under further investigation. Each type of application of pressure sensitive protective devices can present particular hazards. It is not the intention of this document to identify those hazards nor to recommend specific applications to particular equipment. Particular applications may also necessitate special requirements which are not included in this document. !This European Standard is a type-B standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1." The provisions of this document may be supplemented or modified by a type C standard. NOTE For machines which are covered by the scope of a type C standard and which have been designed and built according to the provisions of that standard, the provisions of that type C standard take precedence over the provisions of this type B standard.

EN 1760-3:2004+A1:2009 (E) 14 4 Requirements 4.1 General The majority of devices covered by this standard are made for specific applications. Where appropriate, the device manufacturer and the machine builder shall agree the requirements in accordance with the risk assessment and specify the essential force-travel data for the application. The device shall have dimensions and be positioned in such a way that the sensor shall detect by touch the approach of a person or part of a person to a dangerous situation or a danger zone. In general, there are two types of application:  the device is used to stop the dangerous parts of machinery which are remote from the sensor. In this application, the distance between the sensor and the moving parts of the machine shall be such that the machine stops before any part of the body can reach the hazardous zone. The distance shall be calculated on the basis of the principles presented in EN 999. See example in C.3.2;  the sensor is mounted on the dangerous part of the machine or adjacent to it, so that the machine will stop or reverse to a safe position after the sensor is actuated and before injury can occur. See example in C.2.10. The following basic requirements apply to all the devices covered by this document. Additional specific requirements are given for pressure sensitive bumpers, pressure sensitive plates and pressure sensitive wires. These specific requirements have priority over the basic requirements. 4.2 Basic requirements 4.2.1 Actuating force NOTE 1 See 7.1.1 and 7.1.5 for verification. The lowest actuating force(s) necessary to cause the output signal switching device to go to an OFF state shall not exceed those specified in table 1 when applied:  in the reference direction(s);  over the effective sensing surface;  at the relevant approach speed(s);  with the sensor in the mounting orientations;  with the relevant test piece and  over the temperature range; which the manufacturer of the device has specified or which have been agreed by the manufacturer of the device and the ma
