Ergonomic design for the safety of machinery - Part 2: Principles for determining the dimensions required for access openings (ISO 15534-2:2000, IDT)
This Malaysian Standard specifies the dimensions of openings for access into machinery as defined in MS ISO 12100-1. It provides the dimensions to which the values given in ISO 15534-3 are applicable. Values for additional space requirements are given in Annex A. This Malaysian Standard has been prepared primarily for non-mobile machinery; there may be additional specific requirements for mobile machinery.
Dimensions for access openings are based on the values for the 95th percentile, where as reach distances are based on the values for the 5th percentile, in each case the least favourable body dimension of the expected user population being used as a basis. The same considerations apply to the location of access openings.
The anthropometric data given in ISO 15534-3 originate from static measurements of nude persons and do not take into account body movements, clothing, equipment, machinery-operating conditions or environmental conditions.
