This document replaces GB/T 19671-2005 "Functional conditions and design principles of two-hand controls for mechanical safety". With GB/T 19671-
Compared with.2005, except for structural adjustment and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
a) Changed the term "mobile two-hand control device" to "repositionable THCD" (see 3.10, 3.10 of the.2005 edition);
b) Changed the selection and type of THCD (see Chapter 4, Chapter 4 of the.2005 edition);
c) Added the general requirements for the design requirements of THCD (see 5.1);
d) Added the requirement of "preventing deprecation" (see 5.6);
e) Changed the requirements for "synchronous operation" (see 5.8, 5.7 of the.2005 edition);
f) Changed the requirements for "two-hand operation safety function" (see Chapter 6, Chapter 6 of the.2005 edition);
g) Delete the requirements when using programmable electronic systems (see Chapter 7 of the.2005 edition).
This document is equivalent to ISO 13851.2019 "Principles for Design and Selection of Two-Hand Control Devices for Mechanical Safety".

Introduction
The safety standard system in the mechanical field consists of the following types of standards.
--- Class A standard (basic safety standard), giving basic concepts, design principles and general characteristics applicable to all machinery.
---Class B standards (general safety standards), involving a safety feature of machinery or a type of safety device with a wider range of use.
* Category B1, specific safety features (such as safety distance, surface temperature, noise) standards;
* B2 category, safety device (such as two-hand control device, interlock device, pressure-sensitive device, protective device) standard.
---Class C standard (mechanical product safety standard), a standard that specifies detailed safety requirements for a specific machine or a group of machines.
According to GB/T 15706, this document belongs to category B2 standards.
This document is particularly relevant to the following stakeholders related to machinery safety.
--- machine manufacturer;
---Health and safety agencies.
Other stakeholders affected by the level of machinery safety are.
--- machine users;
--- machine owner;
--- service provider;
--- Consumers (for machinery intended to be used by consumers).
All of the above stakeholders are likely to participate in the drafting of this document.
In addition, this document is intended to be used by standardization bodies drafting Category C standards.
The requirements specified in this document may be supplemented or modified by Category C standards.
For machines that are within the scope of the C-type standard and have been designed and manufactured in accordance with the C-type standard, the requirements in the C-type standard are preferred.
The two-hand control device (THCD) is a protective device that installs the manipulation actuator at a specific position at a certain distance from the danger zone.
Provide protection for the operator to prevent him from touching the danger zone in a dangerous state.
As a safety device, the choice of THCD depends on the risk of designers, standard developers and others according to GB/T 15706.
risk assessment.
The definition of THCD given in 3.1 of this document takes precedence over the definition given in GB/T 15706.
In some applications, enabling devices (see GB/T 15706) and/or keep-running devices (see GB/T 15706) may also comply with this document
The definition of THCD in the document. In addition, some special operating devices that require two-handed use, such as certain crane controls, also comply with the requirements of this document.
