CEN/TC 114/WG 1 - Basic concepts
Preparation of standards defining basic terminology and specifying general design methods to help designers and manufacturers in achieving safety in the design of machinery, including those generating risks due to their mobility and/or lifting function, for professional and non-professional purposes. Machinery for the lifting of persons is excluded.

General Information
ISO 12100:2010 specifies basic terminology, principles and a methodology for achieving safety in the design of machinery. It specifies principles of risk assessment and risk reduction to help designers in achieving this objective. These principles are based on knowledge and experience of the design, use, incidents, accidents and risks associated with machinery. Procedures are described for identifying hazards and estimating and evaluating risks during relevant phases of the machine life cycle, and for the elimination of hazards or sufficient risk reduction. Guidance is given on the documentation and verification of the risk assessment and risk reduction process.
ISO 12100:2010 is also intended to be used as a basis for the preparation of type-B or type-C safety standards.
It does not deal with risk and/or damage to domestic animals, property or the environment.

This European Standard defines basic terminology and specifies general design methods, to help designers and manufacturers in achieving safety in the design of machinery for professional and non-professional purposes. It may also be used for other technical products having similar hazards. It is recommended that this standard is incorporated in training courses and manuals to convey basic terminology and general design methods to designers.

Frequently Asked Questions
CEN/TC 114/WG 1 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Basic concepts" and is responsible for: Preparation of standards defining basic terminology and specifying general design methods to help designers and manufacturers in achieving safety in the design of machinery, including those generating risks due to their mobility and/or lifting function, for professional and non-professional purposes. Machinery for the lifting of persons is excluded. This committee has published 7 standards.
CEN/TC 114/WG 1 develops CEN standards. The scope of work includes: Preparation of standards defining basic terminology and specifying general design methods to help designers and manufacturers in achieving safety in the design of machinery, including those generating risks due to their mobility and/or lifting function, for professional and non-professional purposes. Machinery for the lifting of persons is excluded. Currently, there are 7 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.
