Overview
EN 1005-1:2001+A1:2008 - "Safety of machinery - Human physical performance - Part 1: Terms and definitions" is a CEN harmonized (type B) standard that defines the vocabulary and conceptual parameters used across the EN 1005 series. It provides standardized terms for human physical performance relevant to machinery design, operation and risk assessment, and supports conformity with EU Machinery Directives (see informative Annexes ZA and ZB). The standard is intended to improve consistency between ergonomics, biomechanics and risk-assessment practices when applying the other EN 1005 parts.
Key topics and technical content
- Core purpose: Establish clear terms and definitions for concepts used in EN 1005-2, EN 1005-3, EN 1005-4 and EN 1005-5.
- Typical defined terms include: abduction/adduction, angle of asymmetry, action/action period, grip types (pinch, hook, power), manual handling concepts (lifting, carrying), horizontal/vertical location (H, V), vertical displacement (D), reference mass vs actual mass, operator, posture, static posture, rest and recovery time, technical aids.
- Ergonomic framing: Positions EN 1005-1 as complementary to general ergonomic design principles in EN 292-1, EN 292-2 and EN 614-1.
- Regulatory alignment: Includes Annex ZA and ZB showing correspondence with EU Directives (98/37/EC as amended and 2006/42/EC), supporting presumption of conformity when applied within its scope.
- Limitations: Not applicable to machines manufactured before the document’s publication; intended to be used alongside specific machine (type C) standards where those take precedence.

Son but est de fournir des définitions claires et précises des termes et concepts utilisés dans d'autres normes européennes comme EN 1005-2, EN 1005-3, EN 1005-4 et EN 1005-5. Cette norme est particulièrement pertinente pour les ingénieurs et concepteurs de machinery, car elle établit une base de compréhension commune concernant la performance humaine dans un environnement de travail. L'une des forces majeures de cette norme réside dans sa capacité à standardiser le vocabulaire utilisé dans le domaine de l'ergonomie. En clarifiant les termes, elle facilite les communications entre professionnels et renforce l'application des principes ergonomiques dans le design des machines. De plus, les références à d'autres normes, telles que EN 292-1 et EN 614-1, illustrent la manière dont EN 1005-1 s'intègre dans un cadre plus large de régulations de sécurité, garantissant ainsi une approche cohérente envers la conception de machines sûres et efficaces. La norme ne s'applique pas aux machines fabriquées avant sa publication, ce qui souligne l'importance de la mise à jour régulière des standards en matière de design et de sécurité. Cela permet de garantir que les nouveaux équipements répondent aux exigences actuelles en matière de performance physique humaine. En conclusion, EN 1005-1:2001+A1:2008 représente une ressource précieuse pour assurer que les concepts relatifs à la performance humaine dans le domaine de la machine soient correctement compris et appliqués, ce qui est indispensable pour la sécurité et la santé des utilisateurs.
The standard EN 1005-1:2001+A1:2008 is a critical document that provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the terminology and definitions relevant to human physical performance in machinery safety. This European Standard serves as an essential resource for professionals involved in the design and evaluation of machinery, particularly in alignment with subsequent parts of the EN 1005 series. The scope of EN 1005-1 is notably well-defined, as it focuses on clarifying key terms and parameters crucial for the effective application of other related standards such as EN 1005-2, EN 1005-3, EN 1005-4, and EN 1005-5. By establishing a common language around human physical performance, this standard enhances communication and understanding among stakeholders, including engineers, safety practitioners, and regulatory bodies. One strength of this standard is its integration of basic ergonomic concepts and general principles pertinent to machinery design, drawing from other established standards like EN 292-1, EN 292-2, and EN 614-1. This interconnectedness allows practitioners to apply ergonomic principles effectively while adhering to safety regulations, ultimately leading to safer design outcomes. Moreover, the relevance of EN 1005-1 cannot be understated, especially as organizations seek to improve safety practices in increasingly automated and complex machinery environments. By providing a solid foundation of terms and definitions, this standard helps ensure that safety measures are based on a thorough understanding of human capabilities and limitations. It is also noteworthy that this document does not apply to machinery manufactured before its publication, which underscores the standard’s role in guiding contemporary practices rather than retroactively assessing older models. Overall, the EN 1005-1:2001+A1:2008 standard is a valuable resource that underpins effective communication and ergonomic design in the machinery industry, reinforcing safety principles while promoting human performance optimization.
