GB18209.1—2000
IEC Foreword
1) EC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a world standardization organization composed of national electrotechnical committees (EC national committees). The purpose of the EC is to promote international cooperation on all issues related to standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. For this purpose and other activities, the IEC publishes international standards. The formulation of standards is entrusted to technical committees, and any EC national committee interested in the subject may participate in its formulation. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations in contact with the IEC may also participate in the formulation of standards. IEC and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) cooperate closely under the conditions agreed upon by the two organizations. 2) EC decisions or agreements on technical issues are made by technical committees attended by representatives of all national committees that are particularly concerned with these issues, and express international consensus on the issues mentioned as much as possible. 3) Documents are published in the form of standards, technical reports or guidelines for international use in a recommended manner and are accepted by national committees in this sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC national committees have the responsibility to apply IEC international standards to their national and regional standards to the greatest extent possible. Any differences between IEC standards and their corresponding national or regional standards should be clearly stated in the national or regional standards. 5) The EC does not provide a marking method to indicate approval or is not responsible for any equipment that claims to comply with IEC standards. The international standard EC61310-1 was originally developed as EN50099-1 by CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) Technical Committee 44X in cooperation with CEN (European Committee for Standardization) Technical Committee 114 and has been adopted. This standard was developed by IEC/TC44 "Safety of Machinery - Electrotechnical Field" under the "Fast Track Procedure". This standard has the status of a horizontal standard and can be used, for example, as a reference standard in ISO and IEC technical committees developing machinery product series standards or special product standards. Machinery suppliers can also adopt the technical requirements of this standard for machinery that does not have a product series standard or special product standard. Where there is a product series standard or special product standard, it will be adopted first. The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

IEC61310 is titled "Safety of machinery - Indication, marking and actuation Part 1: Requirements for visual, auditory and tactile signals Part 2: Marking requirements Part 3: Requirements for the location and operation of operating parts I National Standard of the People's Republic of China Safety of machinery Indication, marking and actuation Part 1: Requirements for visual, auditory and tactile signals GB 18209.1—2000 IEC61310-1:1995 In order to enable exposed personnel and operators to use and monitor machinery safely, the safety-related meanings of warning and danger signals must be transmitted through the human-machine interface. In an open-loop system (see Figure 1), the operator communicates with the machine or performs processing via the human-machine interface. The human-machine interface consists of operating elements and indicating devices, with the help of which the operator starts work and receives information. In many applications, coded signals are used to represent information. The coded signals are coded using special set rules, and the operator interprets the signals according to these rules. Different types of codes such as color, shape or time are usually used as work instructions for operators.
Reasons for using codes:
Allowing the machine to be separated from the centralized control station in space: - To increase the amount of perceptible information given by the indicator, such as per unit of display area, per unit of time; - To reduce the mental burden of the operator and/or exposed personnel. Operator

1 Scope
This standard specifies the requirements for indicating relevant safety information to exposed personnel using visual, auditory and tactile methods at the human-machine interface. It specifies colors, safety signs, markings and other warning methods, which are designed to indicate dangerous conditions, health hazards and deal with accidents. In order to promote the safe use and monitoring of machinery, it also specifies the coding methods of visual, auditory and tactile signals used by indicators and operating parts. This standard is based on EC60073 coding with colors and replacement methods. But it is not limited to the field of electrical engineering. 2 Referenced standards

4 Notes on safety information
4.1 General
In order to reduce the risk to potentially exposed persons: GB 18209.1—2000
Machines shall have means of giving safety signals to provide appropriate safety information; an operating part can be used safely and is distinguished by suitable signs on or near the operating part. Active signals shall be provided to signal danger and call people to take a specified course of action. Passive signals shall be provided to warn of permanent dangers and give information, such as safe passages, the location of emergency stop operating parts. Note 1: Examples of active and passive signals are shown in Table 1. The meaning of all safety signals designed for the intended users shall be clear and unambiguous. Ergonomic principles shall be taken into account in the design and installation of machinery. For this reason, such signals and related codes shall always be applicable to the machinery. The selection of equipment to be used shall take into account the consequences of equipment failure (e.g. filaments and color guns in video display units (VDUs) will cause signal loss). NOTE 2 The measures to be taken should be determined by risk assessment. The method used to present safety-related information should be consistent with the capabilities of the operator and/or exposed persons. Visual signals should be used whenever possible. In places where there may be sensory impairments, such as blind areas, color blind areas, deaf areas or where personal protective equipment is used, it is necessary to perceive safety-related signals. To ensure this, special attention should be paid to the use of the following auxiliary methods: - Use of multiple senses (vision, hearing, touch); - Use of multiple codes (see 5.2.2)
Auxiliary methods should be selected for visual signals and used in the following situations: a) excessive other information will make the signal difficult to perceive, b) visual signals alone are not sufficient because: 1) the operator needs to look elsewhere when handling/operating the control device; 2) the exposed person is out of the operator's line of sight; 3) the exposed person cannot see the warning signal.

4.2.2 Field of view
GB18209.1—2000
For stable detection, visual signals should comply with the following provisions: a) The location of the signal and light source should be selected so that the display can be seen from all positions where it is required to be observed; b) Active safety signals should be placed where the operator can see them from the working position, with as wide a viewing angle as possible for exposed personnel; c) Displays with limited viewing angles should be placed in appropriate locations; d) Passive visual signals such as safety signs, auxiliary markings and signs should be properly placed so that the personnel who need to be informed and/or others can see these signals without moving when there is an increased risk to them.

4.2.3 Brightness, color and contrast
GB18209.1—2000
The brightness, color and contrast of visual signals shall comply with the following provisions: a) Safety signs shall comply with the brightness and color requirements of ISO3864; b) The brightness contrast ratio of illuminated displays shall not be less than 6:1; c) The display image quality shall be high under all normal and emergency viewing conditions; d) All expected (such as emergency) viewing conditions shall be provided in accordance with the illumination required for non-illuminated displays. 4.2.4 Graphic symbols
Graphic symbols should be simple, clear and logical so that they are easy to understand and have clear meanings. Where applicable, the graphic symbols given in ISO7000 and GB/T5465.2 should be used. Note: The general principles for the design of graphic symbols for machinery are given in GB/T5465.1. 4.3 Auditory signals
Audio signals warn of impending dangers and indicate the onset and duration of dangerous situations. Where the operator is in control or can intervene, the signal should last at least until the operator intervenes. Auditory signals should
--the sound level is significantly higher than the level of ambient noise so that it can be heard clearly, not too strong or difficult to hear;--easy to identify, especially the duration and interval between pulses or groups of pulses, which are clearly different from other auditory signals and ambient noise;--the requirements for identification, audibility, resolution and clarity of meaning should comply with the provisions of EN457. 4.4 Tactile signals
The information transmitted by the operator through touch can identify and distinguish the various operating elements of different functional machinery, generally considering surface roughness, surface contour, three-dimensional shape of various elements and their relative positions, without relying on vision and hearing. Note
1 When a part of the human body such as fingers, hands, and feet is used to transmit tactile signals, it intentionally contacts the three-dimensional surface of the operating parts such as buttons and levers. In certain situations, such as reduced visibility, only tactile signals can be relied on.
2 The ability to recognize and interpret tactile signals indicates that the operator understands the function of the signal. 5 Information coding
5.1 General
Information coding should be used. The code should be selected in the early stage of mechanical design and consistent with the provisions of EC60073. The coding method shall be selected from the following methods, but not limited to these methods, and can be used alone or in combination (auxiliary method): - color tone (visual);
-contrast (visual);
-symbol (visual);
-frequency (stability/repetition rate) (visual, auditory);
-position (visual, tactile);
-shape (visual, tactile);
-structure (tactile).
The code description shall be placed in the equipment-related documents and/or marked on the machine. Sufficient information shall be provided to the personnel who respond to these codes so that they can get adequate instructions. 5.2 Visual signal coding
5.2.1 Use of color
The relevant information to be conveyed shall be selected in relevant colors. The colors of indicators and operating parts shall be determined in accordance with Table 2 and IEC60073. The use of colors for mechanical electrical equipment shall be in accordance with Chapter 10 of GB/T5226.1-1996, and the use of contrasting colors shall be consistent with ISO3864. The contrasting colors used for emergency stop operating parts shall be consistent with the provisions of 4.4.3 of GB16754-1997. 6
