Which are the most important ISO Standards related to Machinery Safety?<\/p>\n

You may have asked yourself that question several times, especially if you are new to the field of Machinery Safety. One way to establish a ranking is to look into all the EN Harmonised Standards<\/strong> to the Machinery Directive: in 2023 there were about 700 Harmonised Standards (EN ISO or EN IEC).<\/p>\n

Looking only to the EN\u00a0 ISO harmonised standards, hereafter is the top 20 list in terms of most mentioned standards:<\/p>\n

N\u00b01. 518<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 12100<\/strong>: 2010 – General principles for design Risk assessment and risk reduction.<\/p>\n

N\u00b02. 204<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 4413<\/strong>:2010 – Hydraulic fluid power – General rules and safety requirements for systems and their components<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 3. 180<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 4414<\/strong>:2010 – Pneumatic fluid power – General rules and safety requirements for systems and their components<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 4. 169<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 13850<\/strong>:2015 – Safety of machinery – Emergency stop function – Principles for design<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 5. 162<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 13857<\/strong>:2019 – Safety of machinery – Safety distances to prevent hazard zones being reached by upper and lower limbs<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 6. 158<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 14120<\/strong>:2015 – Safety of machinery – Guards – General requirements for the design and construction of fixed and movable guards<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 7. 123<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 13849-1<\/strong>:2023 – Safety of machinery – Safety-related parts of control systems – Part 1: General principles for design<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 8. 118<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 14119<\/strong>:2013 – Safety of machinery – Interlocking devices associated with guards – Principles for design and selection<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 9. 114<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 13854<\/strong>:2019 – Safety of machinery – Minimum gaps to avoid crushing of parts of the human body<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 10. 101<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 13855<\/strong>:2010 – Safety of machinery – Positioning of safeguards with respect to the approach speeds of parts of the human body<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 11. 62<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 14122-2<\/strong>:2016 – Safety of machinery – Permanent means of access to machinery – Part 2: Working platforms and walkways<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 12. 61<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 14122-3<\/strong>:2016 – Safety of machinery – Permanent means of access to machinery – Part 3: Stairs, stepladders and guard-rails<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 13. 52<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 14118<\/strong>:2018 – Safety of machinery – Prevention of unexpected start-up<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 14. 44<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 14122-4<\/strong>:2016 – Safety of machinery – Permanent means of access to machinery – Part 4: Fixed ladders<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 15. 44<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 14122-1<\/strong>:2016 – Safety of machinery – Permanent means of access to machinery – Part 1: Choice of fixed means and general requirements of access<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 16. 36<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 13856-2<\/strong>:2013 – Safety of machinery \u2014 Pressure-sensitive protective devices \u2014 Part 2: General principles for design and testing of pressure-sensitive edges and pressure-sensitive bars<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 17. 32<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 13849-2<\/strong>:2012 – Safety of machinery – Safety-related parts of control systems – Part 2: Validation<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 18. 22<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 14123-1<\/strong>:2015 – Safety of machinery \u2014 Reduction of risks to health resulting from hazardous substances emitted by machinery \u2014 Part 1: Principles and specifications for machinery manufacturers<\/p>\n

N\u00b0 19. 21<\/strong> citations: EN ISO 13856-1<\/strong>:2013 – Safety of machinery \u2014 Pressure-sensitive protective devices \u2014 Part 1: General principles for design and testing of pressure-sensitive mats and pressure-sensitive floors<\/p>\n

From our point of view the list reflects well the role some standards play in assessing and especially reducing risk.<\/p>\n

ISO 12100, by far, deserves the first place. ISO 4413 and ISO 4414 are instead \u201coverstated\u201d in importance. Thay should be much improved and provide more indications on how to design a safe pneumatic of hydraulic circuit.<\/p>\n

In the future, we expect ISO 11161 and especially ISO 12895, due to be published in 2024, to enter the top 20!<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n \n \n
