Scope

This part of ISO 15534 specifies the dimensions of openings for whole-body access into machinery as defined in ISO 12100. It provides the dimensions to which the values given in ISO 15534-3 are applicable. Values for additional space requirements are given in Annex A. This part of ISO 15534 has been prepared primarily for non-mobile machinery; however, there may be additional specific requirements for mobile machinery.

Dimensions for passages are based on the values for either the 95th or the 99th percentiles of the expected user population. Values for the 99th percentile apply to emergency egress routes.

The anthropometric data provided in ISO 15534-3 originate from static measurements of nude persons and do not take into account body movements, clothing, equipment, machinery-operating conditions, or environmental conditions.

This part of ISO 15534 illustrates how to combine the anthropometric data with suitable allowances to account for these factors.

Situations where people are to be prevented from reaching a hazard are addressed in ISO 13857 - Safety distances to prevent hazard zones being reached by upper and lower limbs.
