29、nex ZA (normative) Normative references to international publications with their corresponding European publications . 22INTRODUCTION This basic safety publication is intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards; it is not intended to be used on its own except in the abse
30、nce of such standards. Where no safety consideration is involved, the relevant technical committee may permit specific exclusions within the framework of this basic safety publication, and according to the rules given in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51. Different kinds of actuators enable electri
31、cal equipment and processes to be operated and maintained under normal and fault conditions. In modern equipment, the moving of an actuator in a certain direction is only one method of actuation. In addition, actuators or data input devices arranged in the form of function or alphanumeric keyboards,
32、 or other kinds of actuator (e.g. light pen, touch sensitive screen, mouse), are in general use for computerized equipment. Actuators as a part of the man-machine interface may have a different importance in the dialogue between the operator and the equipment or machine. Standardization is especiall
33、y important where safety is concerned (e.g. where an incorrect actuation may cause damage, or where a frequent or rapid actuation is necessary, such as in the operation of cranes or transport vehicles), and is particularly necessary in the case of equipment likely to be operated by unskilled persons
34、. Ergonomic aspects should also be taken into account. Page4 EN60447:2004BASIC AND SAFETY PRINCIPLES FOR MAN-MACHINE INTERFACE, MARKING AND IDENTIFICATION ACTUATING PRINCIPLES 1 Scope This International Standard establishes general actuating principles for manually operated actuators forming part of
35、 the man-machine interface associated with electrical equipment, in order to: increase the safety (e.g. of persons, property, environment) through the safe operation of the equipment; facilitate the proper and timely operation of the actuators. These principles apply, not only for the operation of e
36、lectrical equipment, machines, or complete plant under normal conditions, but also under fault or emergency conditions. This standard is for general application, from simple cases such as single actuators (e.g. push-buttons) to multiple actuators, forming part of a large assembly of electrical and n
37、on- electrical equipment, or part of a central process control station. This standard establishes correlations between the function of an actuator and its direction of actuating or location in relation to other actuators. In the absence of particular rules, this standard may also be applied to actua
38、tors operated by a part of the human body other than the hand (e.g. to foot-operated devices). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest ed

NOTE 2 The definition of an actuator is based on IEV 441-15-22 and, for the purposes of this standard, is narrowed to human actuation. 3.1.1 monofunction actuator one or a set of actuators correlated to one final effect (e.g. by direction of movement, or by disposition of actuators) 3.1.2
