Introduction
This standard is a type B2 standard (according to EN 292-1) and contains the general requirements for
pneumatic systems and their components on machinery. For type C standard makers, it is a basis for the
development of specific requirements on dedicated machines. If no type C standards are available, it is a
basis for the manufacturers when constructing machines that include pneumatic systems and their
components.
In developing this standard, safety related requirements out of ISO 4414 were selected as well as additional
safety related requirements.
Equivalent safety requirements for hydraulic systems are defined in EN 982 "Safety of machinery – Safety
requirements for fluid power systems and their components – Hydraulics".
1 Scope
This standard applies to pneumatic systems and their components on machinery. It identifies hazards and
factors which affect the safety of systems and their components when they are put to their intended use.

The principles specified apply to the design, construction and modification of new systems and their
components and aspects of use including:
 Assembly
 Installation
 Adjustment
 Operation
 Cleaning
 Maintenance.
