5.1 General Determination and evaluation of the fire risk requires a sequence of logical steps allowing systematic examination of the fire hazards arising from the machinery and/or the work process according to the procedures outlined in EN 1050. It includes risk analysis and risk evaluation. The risk evaluation establishes if risk reduction measures are required. see annex A for examples
