Extracts from ANSI Standards for Presence-sensing
Devices and Two-hand Controls
Reprinted below are the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards for
presence-sensing devices (light curtains) and Two-hand controls. ANSI, a national federation
of trade associations, technical societies, professional groups, and consumer organizations, is
the United States clearinghouse and coordinating body for voluntary standards activity.
Approximately 1000 companies are affiliated with the Institute as company members.
ANSI creates voluntary standards to eliminate duplication and to weld conflicting standards
into single, nationally accepted standards under the designation “American National
Standards.” The standards reflect a national consensus of manufacturers, consumers,
scientific, technical, and professional organizations, and governmental agencies.
Shown below are extracts of standards requirements and explanatory information from ANSI
B11.1-2009 and B11.19-2003 for presence-sensing devices (light curtains) and Two-hand
controls. Complete versions of these documents can be obtained by writing to: ANSI, 1430
Broadway, New York, NY 10018.
