CEN/TC 114/WG 9 - Emergency stop and safety hold
Preparation of standards specifying design principles for emergency stop equipment for machinery and built-in safety measures aimed at preventing unexpected machine start-up to allow safe human interventions in danger zones, regardless of the type of energy used.
Emergency stop and safety hold
Preparation of standards specifying design principles for emergency stop equipment for machinery and built-in safety measures aimed at preventing unexpected machine start-up to allow safe human interventions in danger zones, regardless of the type of energy used.
General Information
This standard specifies built-in safety measures aimed at preventing unexpected machine start-up (see 3.2) to
allow safe human interventions in danger zones (see Annex A).
This standard applies to unexpected start-up from all types of energy source, i.e.:
- Power supply, e.g. electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic;
- Stored energy due to, e.g., gravity, compressed springs;
- External influences, e.g. from wind;

Frequently Asked Questions
CEN/TC 114/WG 9 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Emergency stop and safety hold" and is responsible for: Preparation of standards specifying design principles for emergency stop equipment for machinery and built-in safety measures aimed at preventing unexpected machine start-up to allow safe human interventions in danger zones, regardless of the type of energy used. This committee has published 3 standards.
CEN/TC 114/WG 9 develops CEN standards. The scope of work includes: Preparation of standards specifying design principles for emergency stop equipment for machinery and built-in safety measures aimed at preventing unexpected machine start-up to allow safe human interventions in danger zones, regardless of the type of energy used. Currently, there are 3 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.
