5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
5.1 General requirements Machining centres shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause. In addition, the machining centre shall be designed according to the principles of EN 292 for hazards relevant but not significant which are not dealt with by this standard. SIST EN 12417:2002+A2:2009

5.2 Specific requirements Table 2 — List of safety requirements and/or protective measures and their verification procedures NOTE The numbering of various provisions in this table is in accordance with Table 1 and hence missing numbers correspond to hazards which are not significant Hazards
Safety requirement and/or protective measureVerification1 Mechanical
1.1 Work zone
1.1.1 Primary safeguards The work zones of machining centres shall be safeguarded. The guarding arrangements shall be designed to prevent access to hazardous situations. NOTE
General guidance for the design selection of safeguards, where the hazards from moving parts cannot be avoided by design is given in 4.1, 4.2 and Table 1 of EN 292-2:1991. For the purposes of this clause,
1) all protective equipment shall be in accordance with the following: in accordance with EN 61496-1:1997 (ESPE), in accordance with IEC 61496-2:1997, category 4 (AOPD), in accordance with EN 1760-1:1997 (PSPD). 2) Guards shall be in accordance with EN 953:1997, and interlocking devices shall be in accordance with EN1088:1995. Visual inspection
1.1.2 Guarding strategies
1.1.2.1 General
The work zone shall be enclosed where possible by fixed and/or interlocked movable guards during machining operations. Where enclosure is not reasonably practicable (e.g. due to the size of the workpiece, its geometry, other special characteristics of the machine or its application), operators and other exposed persons shall be safeguarded by a combination of other means (e.g. protected operator position (cabin), perimeter guarding, other protective devices).
Visual inspection, assessment
1.1.2.2 Enclosure Where reasonably practicable, work zone guarding shall be fixed to the structure of the machine (see 3.2.1 of EN 953:1997) (see also guard characteristics below and Figures C.1 – C.4, C.6).
Visual inspection Examination of drawings
1.1.2.3 Alternatives to enclosures Access to the work zone, by the operator, from the normal (fixed) operating position shall be prevented by local guarding (typically forming a cabin - see Figures C.5 and C.7). Access to the cabin shall not require entry into the hazard zone enclosed by perimeter fencing or other protective devices. Where this is not possible because of the machine configuration or other operating constraints, the access route to the operating position shall not require approach to hazardous situations.
Visual inspection
Where the machine operator requires access to the work zone from the protected (fixed) operating position (cabin) e.g. for setting purposes or process control, the cabin shall be designed so that access is via an interlocked movable guard from within the cabin. Alternatively the movement of a pendant control from the cabin position shall have the same effect as the interlocked guard above. Operation of the machine in mode 1 (automatic cycle) shall only be possible when the pendant control (above) is relocated in the cabin. Any other powered movement of machine elements shall only be achieved by selection of the appropriate operating mode (see operating modes below). Access to the work zone by persons other than the machine operator shall be prevented by perimeter fencing and/or other means (e.g. electrosensitive protective equipment (ESPE), active-opto electronic protective devices (AOPDs), pressure sensitive protective devices (PSPDs).
Where access points (e.g. gates), are provided they shall be interlocked. Where interlocking is not possible because of the particular machine configuration and application, any non interlocked access points shall be within the visual field of the operator(s) from the normal working position. Where it is foreseen that the machine will be operated unattended, for some or all of the operating cycle, other means of access control (e.g. key pad operated locks), shall be provided to prevent unauthorised access.
Visual inspection, conformance to drawings/ specifications
1.1.3 Multiple work zones Where more than one work zone is provided on a single machine, safeguards (e.g. fixed or movable interlocked guards, AOPD, ESPE) shall protect the operator(s) from adjacent active work zone hazards (e.g. when loading or unloading workpieces in a non-active work zone, cleaning).
Unauthorised movement of the machine into an adjacent non-active work zone shall be prevented using a limiting device, (e.g. mechanical stops, range limit switches, light beams, AOPDs).
Visual inspection, functional test to ensure compliance, conformance to drawings/ specifications
1.1.4 Guard Characteristics
1.1.4.1 Height and Position Where guards are floor mounted (e.g. perimeter fencing), they shall be securely fixed and have a minimum height of 1.4 m at a distance in accordance with Table 2 of EN 294:1992 from the hazard zone. Any opening between the bottom of the guard and the floor shall not exceed 300 mm.
Measurements to ensure compliance with EN 294
1.1.4.2 Containment
Guards shall be designed to contain and/or prevent exposure to swarf/chips, fluids and parts that can be discharged or ejected (see also 7.1.4 mist and vapour, 17.1 fluids mists and 17.2 ejection, 19.2 contamination of floors etc., in this table).
Practical check
Safety requirement and/or protective measure Verification 1.1.4.3 Observation Where routine observation of the machine operation is required, means (e.g. windows) shall be provided so that this can be achieved without the need to open, remove or suspend any work zone guard or other protective device(s) (see also 8.4 lighting, in this table).
Visual inspection
1.1.5 Interlocking
1.1.5.1 All movable guards through which frequent access to the work zone is required (i.e. more than once per shift) shall be interlocked. Opening of a guard or actuation of a protective device in mode 1 (automatic cycle - see below) shall cause hazardous movements to stop and further movement to be inhibited (see EN 1037). Measures to minimise the possible defeat of interlocking device(s) shall be taken (see clauses 5 and 7 of EN 1088:1995).
Visual inspection, practical check
1.1.5.2 If opening of an interlocking movable guard exposes operators to hazards listed 1.1 -1.7 of Table 1, guard locking shall be provided (see EN 1088 and also 7.2.m, of clause 7).
Practical check
1.1.6 Modes of operation
1.1.6.1 General
Each machine shall have at least two modes of operation (i.e. modes 1 and 2) with the option of a third mode (i.e. mode 3). The selection of a mode of operation shall be either by key switch, access code or equally secure means and shall only be permitted from outside the work zone. Selection of a mode shall not initiate hazardous situations.
Visual inspection, practical check
1.1.6.2 Mode 1 - Automatic cycle [automatic production]
The guards shall be closed and/or the protective devices be active to permit execution of programmed sequential machine operation under numerical control.
Practical check
1.1.6.3 Mode 2 - SettingSetting mode is a mode of operation in which adjustments for the subsequent machining process are performed by the operator.
NOTE
Assessment of tool or workpiece position, e.g. by touching the workpiece with a probe or tool, and programme sequence checking, belong to the setting mode.
When any interlocked movable guard is open or a protective device is suspended, powered machine movements shall only be permitted under the following conditions:
a) Axis movements at a maximum rate of 2 m/min. or a maximum increment of 10 mm. Measurement
These movements shall be selected one axis at a time and may be initiated and maintained by one of the following means: – a hold-to-run control device; – an electronic handwheel; – manual data input (MDI) followed by cycle start together with an enabling device.
Practical check
b) Spindle speed shall be limited by its stopping performance which shall not exceed 2 revolutions.
Measurement
Safety requirement and/or protective measure Verification
Spindle rotation shall only be initiated and maintained by one of the following means: – a hold-to-run control device – a spindle start control device together with an enabling device.
Release of an enabling device shall initiate a category 1 stop in accordance with 9.2.2 of EN 60204-1:1997. Practical check
c) The limits of speed or incremental distance [defined in a) and b) above] shall be monitored and if exceeded, the power to the drives shall be removed by a controlled stop (Category 1 - see 9.2.2 of EN 60204–1:1997).
Examination of circuit diagrams, practical check
d) Means shall be provided to prevent hazardous movement of vertical or slant axes under gravity.
Practical check
e) Automatic tool and workpiece changing mechanisms shall remain inhibited. Initiation of their automatic movement shall only be possible by reselection of mode 1. Practical check
Exception: For maintenance in mode 2 only, the provisions contained in 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 of this table are permitted. Practical check
f) Unguarded swarf/chip conveyor movements shall only be initiated and maintained by a hold-to-run control device.

Where ergonomic considerations in the application of Mode 3 make the use of an enabling device impractical (e.g. because the duration of necessary process observation/intervention exceeds an acceptable fatigue time for the machine operator to actuate the enabling device or the manipulation of multiple parameter control devices prevents the sustained operation of an enabling device) then a combination of alternative engineering control measures, to reduce entanglement and crushing risks, shall be substituted for the enabling device.
Two examples of accepted alternative engineering control measure combinations are: h) A safe standing position for the operator that is monitored by an active optical protection device (AOPD) or other approved safety monitoring device, (e.g. a scanning device or light curtain), but excluding the use of a pressure sensitive mat or similar easily defeated device, together with: - a readily accessible emergency stop control device shall be provided plus, - safe edge emergency stop arrangements shall be applied to all moving machine elements that pose a crushing risk plus, - the monitoring for reduced spindle and axes speeds shall satisfy the requirements of EN 954-1:1996, Category 3, and - identification of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) shall be provided in the instructions for use (see 7.2 n) and 7.2 o) of this European Standard). i) Protection against entanglement risk by means of a fixed guard enclosing the rotating spindle and cutter or an AOPD (light curtain) around (or in front of) the rotating spindle and cutter (the position of AOPD shall fulfil the requirements of EN999) together with: - a readily accessible emergency stop control device shall be provided plus, - safe edge emergency stop arrangements shall be applied to all moving machine elements that pose a crushing risk plus, - the monitoring for reduced spindle and axes speeds shall satisfy the requirements of EN 954-1: 1996, Category 3, and - identification of appropriate personnel protective equipment (PPE) shall be provided in the instructions for use (see 7.2 n) and 7.2 o) of this European Standard). NOTE 3
Other engineering control measures that provide the equivalent level of risk reduction, to those identified in h) and i) above, may be used. To reduce ejection risks, the cutting speed employed in any Mode 3 application shall be held below the scope of EN ISO 15641:2000. NOTE 4
The intended tool should preferably be a solid or one-piece milling cutter. Evaluation of the need for Mode 3 operation without an enabling device plus examination of the machine and its circuit diagrams" SIST EN 12417:2002+A2:2009

1.1.7 Release of trapped persons Means shall be provided for the movement of machine axes for emergency purposes (e.g. release of trapped persons). These means are for example: a) With power off: - manually operated relief valves to depressurise systems under pressure;
- manual release of power-actuated brakes provided that weight-balancing exists;

When this device is actuated, the control system shall prevent any movement of the tool magazine or other accessible hazardous machine movements.
Examination of circuit diagrams, practical check
1.2.5 Where powered movements with the interlocked guard open are required for tool replenishment, maintenance, or adjustment purposes, this shall be achieved by means of a hold-to-run control to permit a single tool station index movement or a two-hand control devicefor continuous movement. This device shall be in accordance with 9.2.5.7 Type 3 of EN 60204-1:1997 (see also EN 574:1996). Such movement shall either be at a reduced speed (i.e. 15 m/min. where only an impact hazard exists; 2 m/min. where a crushing, shearing or trapping hazard exists) or be initiated from control devices positioned at a safe distance from the hazardous machine parts. (see EN 294, EN 999:1998) No hazardous machine movements shall arise from the actuation of any magazine sensor or feedback device (see 10.1.4 of EN 60204-1:1997 and 7.2 f, of clause 7 in this standard).

The SIST EN 12417:2002+A2:2009 standard offers a comprehensive framework for ensuring the safety of machining centres in diverse operational contexts. The scope of this standard focuses on the technical safety requirements and protective measures necessary for the design, construction, supply, installation, dismantling, transport, and maintenance of machining centres. This wide-ranging approach underscores the essential aspects concerning operator safety and machine integrity. One of the strengths of this standard lies in its detailed consideration of intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse, which is crucial for effective risk management.
