Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 199, Safety of machinery.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 14122-1:2001), which has been technically
revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 14122-1:2001/Amd 1:2010. See Annex B.
ISO 14122 consists of the following parts, under the general title Safety of machinery — Permanent
means of access to machines:
— Part 1: Choice of fixed means and general requirements of access
— Part 2: Working platforms and walkways
— Part 3: Stairs, stepladders and guard-rails
— Part 4: Fixed ladders
An additional part, dealing with mobile machinery, is under preparation.

ISO 14122-1:2016(E)
Introduction
This International Standard is a type-B standard as stated in ISO 12100.
This International Standard is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups
representing the market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium, and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.);
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of this International
Standard by the above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium, and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium, and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this International Standard.
In addition, this International Standard is intended for standardization bodies elaborating type-C
standards.
The requirements of this International Standard can be supplemented or modified by a type-C standard.
For machines which are covered by the scope of a type-C standard, and which have been designed and
built according to the requirements of that standard, the requirements of that type-C standard take
precedence.
The purpose of this International Standard is to define the general requirements for safe access to
machines. This part of ISO 14122 gives guidance about the correct choice of access means when the
necessary access to the machine is not possible directly from the ground level or from a floor or
platform.
Annex A is informative and contains “Examples of the possible changes in the machine or system to
make a better access possible”.
