scope:

This Standard specifies safety-related requirements for actuators, operated by the hand or by other parts of the human body, at the human-machine interface.

It 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.

It is based on JIS C 0447 but is also applicable to non-electrotechnical technologies such as mechanical and fluid-powered systems.

It covers single actuators as well as groups of actuators forming part of an assembly.

This Standard docs not specify any requirements for "touch screens" (such information is given in JIS C 0447).

NOTE :The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows:

IEC 61310-3 2007 Safety of machinery-Indication, marking and actuation- Part 3: Requirements for the location and operation of actuators (IDT)

The symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/ IEC Guide 21.
