Safety of machinery - Pressure sensitive protective devices - Part 2: General principles for the design and testing of pressure sensitive edges and pressure sensitive bars

This standard contains requirements for pressure sensitive edges and pressure sensitive bars for use as safety devices and not as actuating devices for normal operational. The standard applies to pressure sensitive edges and pressure sensitive bars used to detect persons or parts of persons who may be exposed to danger such as hazardous moving parts.
The purpose of this standard relates primarily to safety and reliability rather than suitability. For the relationship between safety and reliability, see annex D of EN 954-1:1996.
This standard specifies requirements for pressure sensitive edges and pressure sensitive bars with and without an external reset facility.
This standard is restricted to the functioning of pressure sensitive edges and pressure sensitive bars and does not specify the requirements for their application. However, clause 6 contains requirements for information for use which has to be provided by the manufacturer. A selection procedure is given in annex C.
The design notes in annex D give additional guidance regarding the design of pressure sensitive edges and pressure sensitive bars which will give safe and reliable service. The notes in annex E provide general guidance regarding application, while annex G provides guidance on the application of sensors, especially for air-pulse systems.
This standard does not specify the dimensions of the pressure sensitive edges or bars in relation to a particular application.
The standard does not apply to stopping devices according to EN 60204-1 used only for normal operational, including emergency stopping, of machinery. Additional requirements may be necessary where pressure sensitive edges and pressure sensitive bars are used in locations accessible to elderly or disabled people or children.
NOTE   It may not be possible to carry out all the tests in this standard for pressure sensitive edges and pressure sensitive bars when they have been designed and built into the machinery by its manufacturer.

Foreword
This document (EN 1760-2:2001+A1:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 114 "Safety
of machinery", the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
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 October 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by December 2009.
This document includes Amendment 1, approved by CEN on 2009-02-22.
This document supersedes EN 1760-2:2001.
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags ! ".
This European Standard 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 second part of a multi-part type B Standard 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 person's body. After actuation the
safety devices give a stop command which is used by the control system of the machine to provide protection
for the person who caused the device to be actuated.
The other parts of the standard cover:
Part 1: Safety of machinery - Pressure sensitive protective devices - General principles for the design and
testing of pressure sensitive mats and pressure sensitive floors.
Part 3: Safety of machinery - Pressure sensitive protective devices - General principles for the design and
testing of pressure sensitive bumpers and plates including pressure sensitive wires and barriers !deleted
text".
Normative annex A presents timing diagrams for devices with and without reset. Informative annex B explains
the relationship between operating speed, the force exerted on the body and the distance travelled by the
device following actuation. The notes in informative annex C provide guidance to users on the selection of a
suitable device. It is recommended that the supplier and customer liaise to examine carefully the constraints
presented by the application before placing an order for the equipment.
The safeguarding of machinery !(see 3.20 of EN ISO 12100-1:2003)" 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 61496-1, CLC/TS 61496-2 and CLC/TS 61496-3" and pressure-
sensitive protective devices to this standard).
Type C standards makers and designers of machinery / installations should consider the best 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 / installation supplier and the user examine together carefully the existing
constraints before making their decision on the choice of safeguarding means.

Informative annex G covers general considerations for meeting category 2 according to EN 954-1.
This European Standard does not specify the dimensions or the configuration of the effective sensing surface
of pressure sensitive edges or pressure sensitive bars 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.

Introduction
!Pressure sensitive edges and pressure sensitive bars are safety devices of the "mechanically actuated trip
device" type. General requirements for these devices (as well as other safety devices) are given in 5.1 and 5.2
of EN ISO 12100-2:2003."
Pressure sensitive edges and bars are used in a wide range of applications with different conditions of use
relating, for example, to loading, electrical, physical and chemical environments. They are interfaced with
machine controls to ensure that the machine reverts to a safe condition if the device is act
