This standard BS EN ISO 14118:2018 Safety of machinery. Prevention of unexpected start-up is classified in these ICS categories:
- 13.110 Safety of machinery
This document specifies requirements for designed-in means aimed at preventing unexpected machine start-up (see 3.2) to allow safe human interventions in danger zones (see Annex A).
This document 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.
This document does not specify performance levels or safety integrity levels for safety-related parts of control systems. While available means to prevent unexpected start-up are identified, this document does not specify the means for the prevention of unexpected machine start-up for specific machines.
NOTE A type-C standard can define the required means for the prevention of harm arising from unexpected start-up. Otherwise, the requirements for a specific machine need to be determined by risk assessment outside the scope of this document.
Safety of machinery. Minimum gaps to avoid crushing of parts of the human body
Safety of machinery. Positioning of safeguards with respect to the approach speeds of parts of the human body
Safety of machinery. Safety distances to prevent hazard zones being reached by upper and lower limbs
