    CSA Preface


    This is the third edition of CAN/CSA-Z431, Basic and safety principles for man-machine interface, marking and identification - Coding principles for indicators and actuators, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 60073 (sixth edition, 2002-05). It supersedes the previous edition, published in 2002 as CAN/CSA-Z431, Basic and safety principles for man-machine interface, marking and identification - Coding principles for indication devices and actuators (adopted CEI/IEC 73:1996).


    This Standard was reviewed for Canadian adoption by the CSA Technical Committee on Power Press Operation, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Occupational Health and Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. This Standard has been approved as a National Standard of Canada by the Standards Council of Canada.


    Scope


    This International Standard establishes general rules for assigning particular meanings to certain visual, acoustic and tactile indications in order to


    - increase the safety of persons, property and/or the environment through the safe monitoring and control of the equipment or process;


    - facilitate the proper monitoring, control and maintenance of the equipment or process;


    - facilitate the rapid recognition of control conditions and actuator positions.


    This standard is for general application:


    - from simple cases such as single indicator lights, push-buttons, mechanical indicators, light emitting diodes (LEDs) or video display screens to extensive control stations which may include a wide variety of devices for controlling an equipment or process;


    NOTE Application of the general coding principles for displays on screens should be carried out without modification.


    - where the safety of persons, property and/or the environment is involved, and also where the above-mentioned codes are used to facilitate the proper monitoring and controlling of equipment;


    - where a particular kind of coding is to be assigned by a technical committee to a special function.

    Préface CSA


    Ce document constitue la troisième édition de la CAN/CSA-Z431, Principes fondamentaux et de sécurité pour l'interface homme-machine, le marquage et l'identification - Principes de codage pour les indicateurs et les organes de commande. Il s'agit de l'adoption, avec exigences propres au Canada, de la norme CEI (Commission Électrotechnique Internationale) 60073 (sixième édition, 2002-05). Ce document remplace l'édition antérieure publiée en 2002 sous la désignation CAN/CSA-Z431, Principes fondamentaux et de sécurité pour les interfaces homme-machines, le marquage et l'identification - Principes de codage pour les dispositifs indicateurs et les organes de commande (norme CEI/IEC 73:1996 adoptée).


    Cette norme a été révisée en vue de son adoption pour le Canada par le Comité technique CSA sur les presses, sous l’autorité du Comité directeur stratégique CSA sur la santé et la sécurité au travail, et a été approuvé par le Comité technique. Cette norme a été approuvée en tant que Norme nationale du Canada par le Conseil canadien des normes.


    Domaine d'application


    La présente Norme internationale établit des règles générales en vue d'attribuer une signification particulière à certaines indications visuelles, acoustiques et tactiles de façon à


    - accroître la sécurité des personnes, des biens et/ou de l'environnement en réalisant de façon sûre la surveillance et la commande des équipements ou des procédés;


    - faciliter la surveillance, la commande et la maintenance adéquates des équipements ou des procédés;


    - faciliter la reconnaissance rapide des conditions de commande et de la position des organes de commande.


    La présente norme est d'application générale:


    - allant de cas simples tels que les voyants de signalisation, boutons-poussoirs, indicateurs mécaniques, diodes électroluminescentes (DEL) ou consoles de visualisation jusqu'aux salles de commande étendues pouvant comprendre une grande variété d'appareils et destinés à la conduite d'une machine ou d'un procédé;


    NOTE 1 convient que les principes de codage soient appliqués sans modification aux consoles de visualisation.


    - quand la sécurité des personnes, des biens et/ou de l'environnement est en jeu, et aussi quand les codes mentionnés plus haut sont utilisés afin de faciliter la surveillance et la commande adéquates d'un équipement;


    - quand un codage particulier est spécifié par un comité d'études pour une function particulière.
