Overview

EN ISO 12499:2008/prA1 is a draft amendment to ISO 12499 (originally ISO 12499:1999) that updates requirements for the mechanical safety of fans - guarding. Prepared by ISO/TC 117 "Fans" in collaboration with CEN/TC 156, this amendment clarifies guard definitions, aligns referenced standards with newer editions, and implements specific requirements from the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Note: the work item was later deleted (2013-04-25) following cancellation of an equivalent ISO project.

Key topics and requirements

• Title change: removes the word “Industrial” so the title becomes “Fans – Mechanical safety of fans – Guarding.”
• Updated normative references:
  • Replaces ISO 13852:1996 with ISO 13857:2008 (clearance and guarding distances).
  • Explicitly cites ISO 14120:2002 (Guards - general design and construction).
  • Updates ISO/TR 12100 references to ISO 12100-1:2003 and ISO 12100-2:2003 in Annex A.
• Guard classification and definitions:
  • Expands clause 3.10.1 to define fixed guards as either:
    • Permanent fixed guard - fixed in place by permanent means (welding, rivets).
    • Demountable fixed guard - retained by fasteners that require tools to remove.
  • Adds a definition of tool (clause 3.10.3): an implement such as a key or wrench; improvised implements (coin, nail-file) do not qualify as tools.
• Clarified application guidance:
  • Clause 7.3 revised to explain when a fixed guard should be permanent vs. demountable (permanent for the service life; demountable for occasional inspection/cleaning).
  • Clauses 8.3 and 9.1 updated to reference ISO 13857:2008 where distances and protection criteria are specified.

Practical applications and users

This amendment is relevant to:

• Fan manufacturers designing guards for safety and regulatory compliance.
• Machine designers and OEMs integrating fans into equipment or HVAC systems.
• Safety engineers and risk assessors performing mechanical-hazard evaluations.
• Compliance officers and certifiers ensuring conformity with EN/ISO standards and the EU Machinery Directive.
• Maintenance and installation teams needing clarity on removable vs permanent guards and tool requirements.

Use cases:

• Specifying guard type and construction in product design documentation.
• Establishing safe dismantling/access procedures for inspection and cleaning.
• Demonstrating conformity for market access and product certification in Europe.

Related standards

• ISO 12499:1999 (original)
• ISO 13857:2008 (safety distances to prevent hazard zones access)
• ISO 14120:2002 (Guards - general requirements)
• ISO 12100-1:2003 / ISO 12100-2:2003 (risk assessment and machine safety fundamentals)
• EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
