CEN/TC 114/WG 13 - Radiation

This European Standard defines basic technology and specifies general procedures for making and reporting measurements of quantities related to radiation emitted by machinery. It covers the different radiation emissions as defined in EN 12198-1.
This standard applies to machinery as defined in 3.1 of EN 292-1:1991.

This standard deals with the emission of radiation from machinery. This European Standard gives advice to manufacturers for the construction of safe machinery, if no relevant C-type standard exists. This radiation emission may be functional for processing or may be undesirable.
The issues of electromagnetic compatibility are not addressed in the standard.
This European Standard is intended to give advice to C-type standardization groups, on how to identify radiation emissions or fields , how to determine their significance and intensity, how to assess the possible risks and what means may be used to avoid or reduce radiation emissions. This advice should be elaborated in C-type standards for specific classes of machines as assessable requirements.
This standard deals with the emission of all types of electromagnetic non-ionizing radiation.
Ionizing radiation may be dealt with in other documents or in the future revisions.
This standard does not deal with the emission of laser radiation.
Radiation sources fixed to a machine which are used only for lighting are excluded from the scope of this standard.
This standard applies to machinery as defined in clause 3.1 of EN 292-1:1991.

The purpose of this report is to give guidance on:
a) how to comply with the relevant legislative requirements, and
b) how to take into account the technical recommendations specified in International, European and National Standards when machines emitting ionizing radiation are designed and built.

This European Standard defines basic technology and specifies general procedures for making and reporting measurements of quantities related to radiation emitted by machinery. It covers the different radiation emission as defined in part 1, in this standard with the exception of laser radiations. This standard applies to machinery as defined by EN 292.

This standard deals with the emission of radiation from machinery. This EN gives advice to manufacturers for the construction of safe machinery, if no relevant C-type standard exists. This radiation emmission may be functional for processing or may be undesirable. The issues of electromagnetic compatibility are not addressed in the standard. This EN is intended to give advice to C-type standardization groups, on how to identify radiation emissions or fields, how to determine their significance and intensity, how to assess the possible risks and what means may be used to avoid or reduce radiation emissions.

The purpose of this European Standard is to provide means to enable manufacturers of machinery concerned by a radiation hazard to design and manufacture efficient safeguards against radiations. The first three techniques given in clause 0 (a, b and c) are not covered by the present Part 3 of this standard. It will only deal with a design strategy for reducing the radiation flux by attenuation or screening. Specific technical details of the design of shields design for the different types of radiation and machines will be provided in other standards. ThisEuropean standard applies to machinery as defined in EN 292.
