Safety of machinery - Human body measurements - Part 3: Anthropometric data
This European Standard specifies current requirements for human body measurements (anthropometric data) that are required by EN 547-1 and EN 547-2 for the calculation of access opening dimensions as applied to machinery. The anthropometric data originate from static measurements of nude persons and do not take into account body movements, clothing, equipment, machinery operating conditions or environmental conditions. The data are based on information from anthropometric surveys representative of population groups within Europe comprising at least three million people. Both men and women are taken into account. Measurements are given, as required by EN 547-1 and EN 547-2, for the 5th, 95th and 99th percentiles of the relevant population group within Europe.
Sicherheit von Maschinen - Körpermaße des Menschen - Teil 3: Körpermaßdaten
Diese Europäische Norm enthält die menschlichen Körpermaßdaten (anthropometrische Daten), die in EN 547-1 und EN 547-2 zur Berechnung der Zugangs- und Durchgangsmaße, wie sie an Maschinen Verwendung finden, benötigt werden. Die Körpermaßdaten sind abgeleitet von statischen Messungen an nacktenPersonen und berücksichtigen nicht Körperbewegungen, Bekleidung und Ausrüstung, sowie Maschinenbetriebs- oder Umgebungsbedingungen.
Sécurité des machines - Mesures du corps humain - Partie 3: Données anthropométriques
La présente norme européenne spécifie les mesures (données) anthropométriques requises dans les EN 547-1 et EN 547-2 pour le calcul des dimensions des orifices d'accès dans le domaine des machines. Les données anthropométriques sont issues de mesures statiques de personnes dévêtues et ne tiennent donc pas compte des mouvements du corps, des vêtements, de l'équipement, des conditions de fonctionnement de la machine, ni des conditions environnementales.
