Introduction
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this standard.
While producing this standard it was assumed that:
only competent persons operate the system;
components without specific requirements are:
a) designed in accordance with the usual engineering practice and calculation codes, including all failure
modes (see also Bibliography and annex B);
b) of sound mechanical and electrical construction;
c) made of materials with adequate strength and of suitable quality;
d) made of materials free of defects.
harmful materials, such as asbestos are not used as part of the machine;
components are kept in good repair and working order, so that required characteristics remain despite wear;
by design of the load bearing elements, a safe operation of the system is assured for loading ranging from
zero to 100 % of the rated possibilities and during the tests;
to ensure the correct function of the equipment the ambient temperature is maintained between -5 °C to + 50 °C;
1)
negotiation occurred between the manufacturer and the user concerning particular conditions for the use and
places of use for the machinery related to health and safety;
the place of installation allows a safe use of the machine.
1) “manufacturer” within the European Union is to be understood as intended in the Machinery Directive.
