EN 61310-3:1999
(Main)Safety of machinery - Indication, marking and actuation - Part 3: Requirements for the location and operation of actuators
General Information
- Abstract
Specifies safety-related requirements for actuators, operated by the hand or by other parts of the human body, at the man-machine interface. 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. Based on EN 60447, but is also applicable to non-electrotechnical technologies. Covers single actuators as well as groups of actuators forming part of an assembly.
