Safety of machinery. Electro-sensitive protective equipment -- Particular requirements for active opto-electronic protective devices responsive to diffuse reflection (AOPDDR)
It specifies additional requirements for the design, construction and testing of non-contact electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) designed specifically to detect persons as part of a safety related system, employing active opto-electronic protective devices responsive to diffuse reflection (AOPDDRs) for the sensing function.
Special attention is directed to requirements which ensure that an appropriate safety-related performance is achieved.
An ESPE may include optional safety-related functions, the requirements for which are given both in Annex A of this part and in Annex A of IEC 61496-1.
The important changes and improvements compared to the first edition of this part of the standard are:
