Safety of machinery - Permanent means of access to machinery - Part 1: Choice of fixed means of access between two levels (ISO 14122-1:2001)

This standard applies to all machinery (stationary and mobile) where fixed means of access are necessary. This standard applies to access means which are an integral part of a machine. This standard could also apply to means of access to that part of the building (e.g. working platforms, walkways, ladders) where the machine is installed, providing the main function of that part of the building is to provide a means of access to the machine. NOTE: This standard may be used in other conditions of use, but to respect the National regulations.

Sicherheit von Maschinen - Ortsfeste Zugänge zu maschinellen Anlagen - Teil 1: Wahl eines ortsfesten Zugangs zwischen zwei Ebenen (ISO 14122-1:2001)

Diese Norm gilt für alle Maschinen (stationäre und mobile), für die ortsfeste Zugänge erforderlich sind. Diese Norm gilt für Zugänge, die Bestandteil einer Maschine sind. Diese Norm kann auch für Zugänge angewendet werden, die Teil des Gebäudes sind (z.B. Arbeitsbühnen, Laufstege, Steigleitern) in dem die Maschine aufgestellt ist, wobei die Hauptfunktion dieses Gebäudeteils darin besteht, den Zugang zu der Maschine zu ermöglichen. ANMERKUNG: Diese Norm darf auch unter anderen Nutzungsverhältnissen angewendet werden, jedoch unter Beachtung der nationalen Vorschriften.

Sécurité des machines - Moyens d'accès permanents aux machines - Partie 1: Choix d'un moyen d'accès fixe entre deux niveaux (ISO 14122-1:2001)

L'ISO 14122 définit les prescriptions générales de sécurité d'accès aux machines mentionnées dans l'EN 292-2. La présente partie de l'ISO 14122 donne des recommandations concernant le choix approprié des moyens d'accès lorsque l'accès nécessaire à la machine n'est pas directement possible à partir du niveau du sol ou d'un plancher. La présente partie de l'ISO 14122 s'applique à toutes les machines (fixes ou mobiles) où des moyens d'accès fixes sont nécessaires. La présente partie de l'ISO 14122 s'applique aux moyens d'accès qui font partie intégrante d'une machine. La présente partie de l'ISO 14122 peut s'appliquer également aux moyens d'accès aux parties du bâtiment (par exemple plates-formes de travail, passerelles, échelles) où la machine est installée à condition que la fonction principale de cette partie du bâtiment soit de donner accès à la machine.
NOTE La présente partie de l'ISO 14122 peut être utilisée également pour les moyens d'accès qui sont hors du domaine d'application de la présente partie de l'ISO 14122. Dans ce cas, il convient de tenir compte des éventuelles réglementations nationales ou autres. La présente partie de l'ISO 14122 s'applique également aux moyens d'accès spécifiques à la machine qui ne sont pas fixés de façon permanente sur la machine et qui peuvent être démontés ou déplacés sur le côté pour certaines opérations sur la machine (par exemple pour changer les outils d'une grande presse). La présente partie de l'ISO 14122 ne s'applique pas aux ascenseurs ou aux plates-formes élévatrices mobiles ou aux autres dispositifs spécialement conçus pour transporter des personnes entre deux niveaux.

Varnost strojev - Stalni dostopi do strojev in postrojenj - 1. del: Izbira fiksnega dostopa med dvema nivojema (ISO 14122-1:2001)

Velja za stroje (stacionarne in mobilne), kadar so potrebni fiksni načini dostopa. Prav tako lahko velja za način dostopa do tega dela zgradbe, kjer je stroj postavljen, če je glavna funkcija tega dela zgradbe zagotoviti način dostopa da stroja. Prav tako velja za načine dostopa do stroja, ki niso stalno pritrjene do stroja in katere je lahko odstraniti ali premakniti na stran na nekatera delovanja stroja.

1 Scope
EN ISO 14122 defines the general requirements for safe access to machines mentioned in EN 292-2. Part 1 of
EN ISO 14122 gives advice about the correct choice of access means when the necessary access to the machine
is not possible directly from the ground level or from a floor.
This part of EN ISO 14122 applies to all machinery (stationary and mobile) where fixed means of access are
necessary.
This part of EN ISO 14122 applies to means of access which are a part of a machine.
This part of EN ISO 14122 may also apply to means of access to that part of the building (e.g. working platforms,
walkways, ladders) where the machine is installed, providing the main function of that part of the building is to
provide a means of access to the machine.
NOTE This part of EN ISO 14122 may be used also for means of access which are outside the scope of this part of
EN ISO 14122. In those cases the possible relevant national or other regulations should be taken into account.
This part of EN ISO 14122 applies also to access means specific to the machine which are not permanently fixed to
the machine and which may be removed or moved to the side for some operations of the machine (e.g. changing
tools in a large press).
This part of EN ISO 14122 does not apply to lifts, to moveable elevating platforms or other devices specially
designed to lift persons between two levels

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this part of EN ISO 14122, the terms and definitions stated in EN 1070 "Safety of machinery -
Terminology" and the following terms and definitions apply (see also Figure 5).

ladder
fixed means of access with an angle of pitch from more than 75 ° to 90 °, whose horizontal elements are rungs (see
Figure 1)
Figure 1 — 75° < angle of pitch  90°
3.2
stepladder
fixed means of access with an angle of pitch from more than 45 ° up to 75 °, whose horizontal elements are steps
(see Figure 2)
Figure 2 — 45° < slope angle  75°
3.3
stair
fixed means of access with an angle of pitch from more than 20 ° up to 45 °, whose horizontal elements are steps
(see Figure 3)
Figure 3 — 20° < angle of pitch  45°

3.4
ramp
fixed means of access, comprising a continuous inclined plane having an angle of pitch from more than 0 ° up to
20 ° (see Figure 4)
Figure 4 — 0° < angle of pitch  20°
4 Significant hazards
The significant hazards to be considered when determining the type and location of the means of access are the
following:
a) Falling.
b) Slipping.
c) Tripping.
d) caused by excessive physical effort, e.g. from climbing a series of ladders.
e) from falling of materials or objects when they may cause a risk to persons.
Other hazards generated by the machinery, e.g. caused by the functioning of the machinery (moving parts of
the machine, movement of the machine itself (mobile machines), radiation, hot surface, noise, steam, hot liquids) or
caused by its environment (harmful airborne substances) are not covered by this part of EN ISO 14122 but the
designer of the machine should consider them, e.g. by preventing the access.
NOTE EN 1050 gives principles for risk assessment.
This part of EN ISO 14122 is primarily aimed at the prevention of persons falling and of excessive physical efforts.
5 Requirements for the selection of the fixed means of access
5.1 General
There shall be a safe and convenient means of access to all the zones and points of the machine where the need
for access can be foreseen during the phases of the "life" of the machinery (see 3.11 of EN 292-1:1991).

Page 8
5.2 Preferred means of access
The preferred means of access to the machinery shall be in the following order :
a) access directly from the ground level or from a floor, (for more details see 5.3.1.1 and EN ISO 14122-2) ;
b) lifts, ramps or stairs, (for more details see 5.4) ;
c) stepladders or ladders, (for more details see 5.5).
5.3 Selection of the means of access
5.3.1 Basic solutions
5.3.1.1 Whenever possible, access to control devices and other parts of the machine is preferred from either a
ground level or a floor. This is particularly important where frequent access is required.
5.3.1.2 If level access according to 5.3.1.1 is not possible or practicable,
—a lift
or
— suitable ramp with an angle of pitch less than 10 ° (see 5.4.b))
or
— stairs with an angle of pitch from a minimum of 30 ° to maximum of 38 ° (see 5.4.c))
shall normally be selected as a safe and suitable basic solution for the necessary access.
5.3.2 Conditions for the selection of stepladder or ladder
5.3.2.1 In the design of access to machinery, stepladders and ladders shall be avoided as far as practicable
due to the higher r
