<p>This International Standard provides parameters based on values for hand/arm and approach speeds and the methodology to determine the minimum distances from sensing or actuating devices of protective equipment to a danger zone.</p>
<p>These specific devices are:</p>
<ol><li>trip devices as defined in EN 292-1:1991, 3.23.5 (specifically electro-sensitive protective equipment, pressure sensitive mats), including those used additionally to initiate operation;</li><li>two-hand control devices as defined in EN 292-1:1991, 3.23.4 and covered by ISO 13851.</li></ol>
<p>NOTE For the purposes of this International Standard, hold-to-run controls, which are designed to be actuated with one hand, are not considered to be protective equipment.</p>
<p>This International Standard does not apply to protective equipment which is intended to be moved, without tools, nearer to the danger zone than the calculated distance, e.g. pendant two-hand control devices.</p>
<p>The minimum distances derived from this standard do not apply to protective equipment used to detect the presence of persons within an area already protected by a guard or electro-sensitive protective equipment.</p>
