Safety of machinery – Electro-sensitive protective equipment

Part 4-2: Particular requirements for equipment using vision based protective devices (VBPD) – Additional requirements when using reference pattern techniques (VBPDPP)

(IEC TS 61496-4-2:2022)
Class/Status: Standard, valid
Released: 2023-12
VDE Art. No.: 0100767

This document specifies 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 vision-based protective devices (VBPDs) using reference pattern techniques (VBPDPP) for the sensing function. Special attention is directed to features which ensure that an appropriate safety-related performance is achieved. An ESPE can include optional safety-related functions, the requirements for which are given in Annex A of IEC 61496-1:2020 and this document.
