Corners, edges and projecting parts within the space occupied by the user that protrude more than 8 mm, and which are not shielded by adjacent areas that are not more than 25 mm from the end of the projecting part, shall be rounded off. The minimum radius of the curve shall be 3 mm. Figure 1 shows examples of protection for nuts and bolts and permissible protruding parts. Figure 2 shows examples of non-permissible protruding parts.

This requirement is intended only to prevent injuries caused by unintended contact with components.

 there shall be no openings, gaps and/or shearing/crushing points that can create a danger of head and neck or finger entrapment and
 where components of equipment are able to move relative to each other or to the floor, either by design or through deflection or bending under load, no entrapment point shall be created by such movement. These requirements shall be assessed by carrying out a visual inspection and measurement using the meth-ods specified in Annex A.
No danger of head and neck entrapment is considered to exist where the lowest part of the circumference of an opening is less than 600 mm above floor level.
Where an item of equipment may be used at different heights or in different orientations, all possible heights and orientations must be considered. These requirements also apply to all parts used during adjustment and transportation of equipment. 5.2.2 Unintentional dropping Where a transport system is used, it shall not be possible for the equipment to drop when loaded at one end with a minimum weight of 750 N. When a transport system encounters a threshold the mechanism shall not be able to disengage or drop unin-tentionally. 5.3 Stability and strength 5.3.1 General Unless specified elsewhere in individual equipment standards, verification of the stability and strength of equipment shall be achieved by engineering calculation or by testing in accordance with the procedures speci-fied in Annex B. 5.3.2 Stability For stability testing where the normal action produces a destabilising force in a horizontal direction, e.g. vault-ing, the theoretical horizontal test force shall be calculated using the formula given in B.1.7. The calculation shall give a result which is ≥ 35 % of the self weight of the equipment or 50 N, whichever is the greater.
Unless specified elsewhere in individual equipment standards, for equipment with unfixed body sections an actual test shall be carried out with a theoretical horizontal test force of 65 % of the theoretical test force calcu-lated according to the formula given in B.1.7, or 50 N, whichever is the greater. Unfixed body sections shall not become separated. 5.3.3 Strength When tested in accordance with Annex B, equipment shall not collapse or fracture, or show any permanent deformation that would result in an additional safety hazard as described in the standard. 5.4 Adjustment devices Any adjustment devices shall prevent accidental changes during use of the device or the equipment.

Determination of entrapment A.1 Principle Test probes of specified dimensions are offered to potential entrapment points and a note is made of whether or not they can be inserted. In situations of doubt when using the probes relating to the tolerance an accurate measurement should be made to ensure the opening is in accordance with the nominal dimension. All tests shall be performed in the most onerous way. A.2 Apparatus Test probes of dimensions as described in Figures A.1 and A.2. A.3 Conditioning and test temperature Condition the equipment and test probes for a minimum of 3 h at the test temperature of (23 ± 2) °C. A.4 Procedure A.4.1 Head and neck entrapment
A.4.1.1 General The probe shall be applied with its longitudinal axis perpendicular to the plane of the opening.
No rotation of the probe about any axis other than the longitudinal axis is permitted. Translations perpendicular to the longi-tudinal axis of the probe are allowed. The longitudinal axis of the probe is considered to coincide with the longest axis of the probe’s handle. A.4.1.2 Procedure A.4.1.2.1 General Try to insert the cone shaped probe (see Figure A.1) into the opening. If the probe can enter the opening (opening ≥ 110 mm) it shall also pass the opening with its largest dimension (230 mm). A.4.1.2.2
Partially bound openings Try to insert the cone shaped probe (see Figure A.1) into the opening. The probe shall not become stuck. If the probe can enter the opening it shall touch the bottom of the opening (see Figures A.3 and A.4). SIST EN 913:2009

Record and report if the rod enters the opening and if it locks in any position when moved through the conical arc s
