    Bibliography

This standard gives requirements for pressure sensitive edges and pressure sensitive bars for use as safety devices and not as actuating devices for normal operational. The standard applies to pressure sensitive edges and pressure sensitive bars used to detect persons or parts of persons who may be exposed to danges such as hazardous moving parts.
