APPLICABLE MACHINE SAFETY STANDARDS

International MACHINE Safety standards level

Type A

Basic Standards

Fundamental machine safety standards applicable to all machinery. 

Type A standards deal with:

  • Basic concepts
  • Principle for design
  • General aspects

Type B

Application Standards

Type B is divided into two categories – B1 and B2.

B1 – Specific safety aspects:

  • Safety distances
  • Surface temperature
  • Noise

B2 – Safety related devices:

  • Two-hand controls
  • Interlocking devices
  • Pressure sensitive devices
  • Guards

Type C

Specific Machine Standards

Standards applicable to specific machinery.

  • Vertical standards covering a single type of machine or group of machines
  • Use A and B standards to create C standards

MACHINE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

OSHA CFR 29

One of the “root causes” of workplace injuries, illnesses, and incidents is the failure to identify or recognize hazards that are present, or that could have been anticipated. A critical element of any effective safety and health program is a proactive, ongoing process to identify and assess such hazards.

Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC

The manufacturer of machinery or his authorized representative must ensure that a risk assessment is carried out in order to determine the health and safety requirements which apply to the machinery. The machinery must then be designed and constructed taking into account the results of the risk assessment.

International Standards ISO 4414:2010 & 4413:2010

When designing pneumatic and hydraulic systems for machinery, all intended operations and use of systems shall be considered. Risk assessment, e.g., in accordance with ISO 12100:2010, shall be carried out to determine the foreseeable risks associated with systems when they are used as intended. Reasonably foreseeable misuse shall not cause hazards. The risk identified shall be eliminated by design, and where this is not practicable, safeguards (first preference) or warnings (second preference) against such risk shall be incorporated, in accordance with the hierarchy established in ISO 12100, ISO 4414 & 4413.
