ISO 13856-2:2012确立了一般原则，并规定了压力敏感边缘和压力敏感杆的设计和测试要求，这些边缘和压力敏感杆用作保护装置，而不是用于正常操作的驱动装置。 ISO 13856-2:2012适用于带或不带外部重置设施的压力敏感边缘和压力敏感杆，用于检测可能暴露于危险的人员或身体部位，如机器运动部件造成的危险。 它不适用于确定压力敏感边缘或压力敏感棒对特定防护应用的适用性，不适用于为控制系统（SRP/CSs）的安全相关部件选择适当的性能水平，而不适用于给出最小值，根据IEC 60204，根据任何特定应用或停止装置，确定压敏边缘或压敏条有效传感区域的尺寸或配置- 1仅用于正常操作，包括紧急停止机器。

ISO 13856-2:2012 establishes general principles and specifies requirements for the design and testing of pressure-sensitive edges and pressure-sensitive bars used as safeguards and not as actuating devices for normal operation. ISO 13856-2:2012 is applicable to pressure-sensitive edges and pressure-sensitive bars, with or without an external reset facility, used to detect persons or body parts that can be exposed to hazards such as those caused by the moving parts of machines. It is not applicable to determining the suitability of a pressure-sensitive edge or pressure-sensitive bar for a particular safeguarding application, selection of an appropriate performance level for safety-related parts of control systems (SRP/CSs) other than to give minimum values,dimensioning or configuring of the effective sensing area of pressure-sensitive edges or pressure-sensitive bars in relation to any particular application or to stopping devices according to IEC 60204-1 used only for normal operation, including emergency stopping of machinery.
