CEN/TC 114/WG 11 - Guards (fixed, movable)
Prearation of a standard specifying general requirements for the design and construction of fixed and movable guards provided primarily to protect persons from mechanical hazards. Special systems relating specifically to mobility and ability to lift loads are excluded.
Guards (fixed, movable)
Prearation of a standard specifying general requirements for the design and construction of fixed and movable guards provided primarily to protect persons from mechanical hazards. Special systems relating specifically to mobility and ability to lift loads are excluded.
General Information
This European Standard specifies general requirements for the design and construction of guards provided primarily to protect persons from mechanical hazards.
The standard applies primarily to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of this standard.
Attention is drawn to the use of guards to minimise exposure to non-mechanical hazards.
The requirements are applicable if fixed and movable guards are used. The standard does not cover those parts of guards which actuate interlocking devices. These are covered in EN 1088.
This standard does not provide requirements for special systems relating specifically to mobility and ability to lift loads like rollover protective structures (ROPS) and falling-object protective structures (FOPS).

Frequently Asked Questions
CEN/TC 114/WG 11 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Guards (fixed, movable)" and is responsible for: Prearation of a standard specifying general requirements for the design and construction of fixed and movable guards provided primarily to protect persons from mechanical hazards. Special systems relating specifically to mobility and ability to lift loads are excluded. This committee has published 2 standards.
CEN/TC 114/WG 11 develops CEN standards. The scope of work includes: Prearation of a standard specifying general requirements for the design and construction of fixed and movable guards provided primarily to protect persons from mechanical hazards. Special systems relating specifically to mobility and ability to lift loads are excluded. Currently, there are 2 published standards from this working group.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
