This Standard specifies the installation and commissioning requirements for pressure-sensitive fixed mats, floors, edges and bars that will be used with plant and machinery. Where safety devices are to be used in other situations, such as the protection of children or in exposed places with wide temperature limits, the Standard is not comprehensive and requires adaption or extension.The Standard covers pressure-sensitive fixed mats, floors, edges and bars regardless of the type of energy used, e.g. electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical.This Standard does not apply to protective equipment that is intended to be moved, without tools, nearer to the danger zone than the calculated safety distance.This Standard is not intended to provide a detailed account of methods for analysing hazards and estimating risks.Protection against the risks from mechanical hazards arising from the ejection of solid or fluid materials and non-mechanical hazards such as toxic emissions, electricity or radiation are not covered by the Standard.

Originated as part of AS 4024.2(Int)-1992.
Revised and redesignated in part as AS 4024.4-1998.
