NF EN ISO 13850
Safety of machinery - Emergency stop - Principles for design
ISO 13850:2006 specifies functional requirements and design principles for the emergency stop function on machinery, independent of the type of energy used to control the function. It is applicable to all machinery except for machines in which the provision of emergency stop would not lessen the risk, and hand-held portable machines and hand-guided machines. It does not deal with functions such as reversal or limitation of motion, deflection, shielding, braking or disconnecting, which can be part of the emergency stop function.

Le présent document fait partie d'une série de normes harmonisées de type B1 (traitant d'un aspect de sécurité pour une large gamme de machines). Elle donne des éléments aux concepteurs de machines, aux rédacteurs de normes de type C, etc., pour assurer une présomption de conformité par rapport aux exigences essentielles de la directive "Machines" 89/392 relatives à l'arrêt d'urgence. Elle sera complétée ultérieurement par une partie 2 traitant de la prévention de la mise en marche intempestive d'une machine.
