Safety of machinery - Pressure-sensitive protective devices - Part 3: General principles for design and testing of pressure-sensitive bumpers, plates, wires and similar devices (First revision) (ISO 13856-3: 2013, IDT)
This Malaysian Standard establishes general principles and specifies requirements for the design and testing of those pressure-sensitive protective devices, with or without an external reset facility, that are not specified in either ISO 13856-1 or ISO 13856-2, and the majority of which are produced for specific applications and are not available as "off-the-shelf" items. This Malaysian Standard also gives specific requirements for the following pressure-sensitive protective devices:
a) pressure-sensitive bumpers;
b) pressure-sensitive plates;
c) pressure-sensitive wires (trip wires).
It deals with the design of a pressure-sensitive device with regard to safety and reliability rather than its suitability for particular applications.
Additional requirements can be necessary where pressure-sensitive protective devices are used in locations accessible to elderly or disabled people or children.
