Legislative Reference
The safety device called
PRESSURE-SENSITIVE BUMPER
consisting of the sensor type: GSBPS01, GSBPS02, GSBPS03
In combination with the control unit type: GP02/E, GP02R.T
has been designed and manufactured in compliance with the essential safety and health requirements for
people’s safeguarding. In particular, the design and manufacture provisions prescribed by the
Machine
Directive 2006/42/UE
, and the
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
2014/30/UE
, as well as the
European harmonized Standards for risk prevention (EN ISO 12100:2010) have been complied with. Also
taken into account have been the domestic technical specifications, in consideration of the technological
level in force at the moment of construction as well as of the technical and economical requirements.
GAMMA SYSTEM PRESSURE-SENSITIVE BUMPERS also comply with the applicable requirements of the
following Standards:
EN ISO 13856-3:2013

3.1 Approvals
Pressure-sensitive bumpers formed by the sensor type GSBPS0x (x=1,2,3) and used in combination with the
control units type GP02/E or GP02R.T conform to the requirements of EN ISO 13856-3 Standard.
The sensor GSBPS0x (x=1,2,3) in combination with the control units type GP02/E or GP02R.T is a safety
component of class
3 PL “d” which meets the prescriptions of EN ISO 13849-1 Standard. According to the
destination of use and the limits of use defined by the manufacturer, it is excluded that a mechanical failure
of the sensor can lead to the loss of safety function of the devices, meaning that, even if triggered, the
internal contact of the sensor cannot make. Also excluded is the risk for cuts with the ingress of foreign
bodies inside the sensor chamber capable of impairing the sensor operation or modifying its sensitivity (force
of activation).
