Safety of machinery - Permanent means of access to machinery - Part 2: Working platforms and walkways (ISO 14122-2:2016)

ISO 14122-2:2016 gives requirements for non-powered working platforms and walkways which are a part of a stationary machine, and to the non-powered adjustable parts (e.g. foldable, sliding) and movable parts of those fixed means of access.
NOTE 1       "Fixed" means of access are those mounted in such a manner (for example, by screws, nuts, welding) that they can only be removed by the use of tools.
ISO 14122-2:2016 specifies minimum requirements that also apply when the same means of access is required as the part of the building or civil construction (e.g. working platforms, walkways) where the machine is installed, on condition that the main function of that part of the construction is to provide a means of access to the machine.
NOTE 2       Where no local regulation or standards exist, this part of ISO 14122 can be used for means of access which are outside the scope of the standard.
It is intended that this part of ISO 14122 be used with ISO 14122‑1 to give the requirements for walking platforms and walkways.
The ISO 14122 series as a whole is applicable to both stationary and mobile machinery where fixed means of access are necessary. It is not applicable to powered means of access such as lifts, escalators, or other devices specially designed to lift persons between two levels.
ISO 14122-2:2016 is not applicable to machinery manufactured before the date of its publication.

Overview

EN ISO 14122-2:2016 - Safety of machinery: Permanent means of access - Part 2: Working platforms and walkways specifies safety requirements for non-powered working platforms and walkways that form part of stationary machinery. It covers fixed means of access (including non‑powered adjustable or movable parts such as foldable or sliding platforms) and sets minimum requirements when those access means are integrated into building or civil construction provided their main function is to give access to the machine. This part is intended to be used together with ISO 14122‑1 (choice of fixed means and general requirements).

Key topics and requirements

• Scope & applicability
  • Applies to non‑powered platforms/walkways for machinery manufactured after publication; excludes powered access (lifts, escalators).
  • Defines “fixed” access (mounted so removal requires tools).
• General requirements
  • Construction and material suitability, safe operator access and ergonomic considerations (dimensions are aligned with established ergonomic data).
• Location & dimensions
  • Guidance on siting platforms/walkways relative to machine parts and required clearances for safe operation and maintenance.
• Flooring & slip resistance
  • Requirements for floorings and anti‑slip measures; Annex A presents methods for determining slip‑resistance.
• Design and construction
  • Structural and guard arrangements to reduce slipping, tripping and falling risks; integration with machine guards and safety distances.
• Movable/adjustable platforms
  • Requirements for foldable, sliding or manoeuvrable components to ensure they remain safe in all positions.
• Information for use
  • Manufacturer documentation, marking and maintenance information required for safe use.
• Compliance mapping
  • Annex ZA relates the standard to essential requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive), supporting conformity where applicable.

Applications and who uses it

• Machine manufacturers - design and integrate safe permanent access (platforms, walkways) into new machinery.
• Plant owners and employers - verify that fixed access meets safety and ergonomic requirements for operation and maintenance.
• Health & safety professionals and inspectors - assess conformity with machinery safety requirements and risk reduction.
• Maintenance providers and designers of industrial buildings - apply when access forms part of building works where the primary function is machine access.

Related standards

ISO 14122-2:2016(E)
Introduction
This International Standard is a type-B standard as stated in ISO 12100.
This International Standard is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups
representing the market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium, and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of this International
Standard by the above mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium, and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for peoples with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium, and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this International Standard.
In addition, this International Standard is intended for standardization bodies elaborating type-C
standards.
The requirements of this International Standard can be supplemented or modified by a type-C standard.
For machines which are covered by the scope of a type-C standard and which have been designed and
built according to the requirements of that standard, the requirements of that type-C standard take
precedence.
The purpose of this International Standard is to define the general requirements for safe access to
machines. ISO 14122-1 gives guidance 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 or platform.
Annex A is informative.
The dimensions specified are consistent with established ergonomic data given in ISO 15534-3.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 14122-2:2016(E)
Safety of machinery — Permanent means of access to
machinery —
Part 2:
Working platforms and walkways
1 Scope
This part of ISO 14122 gives requirements for non-powered working platforms and walkways which
are a part of a stationary machine, and to the non-powered adjustable parts (e.g. foldable, sliding) and
movable parts of those fixed means of access.
NOTE 1 “Fixed” means of access are those mounted in such a manner (for example, by screws, nuts, welding)
that they can only be removed by the use of tools.
This part of ISO 14122 specifies minimum requirements that also apply when the same means of access
is required as the part of the building or civil construction (e.g. working platforms, walkways) where
the machine is installed, on condition that the main function of that part of the construction is to
provide a means of access to the machine.
NOTE 2 Where no local regulation or standards exist, this part of ISO 14122 can be used for means of access
which are outside the scope of the standard.
It is intended that this part of ISO 14122 be used with ISO 14122-1 to give the requirements for walking
platforms and walkways.
The ISO 14122 series as a whole is applicable to both stationary and mobile machinery where fixed
means of access are necessary. It is not applicable to powered means of access such as lifts, escalators,
or other devices specially designed to lift persons between two levels.
This part of ISO 14122 is not applicable to machinery manufactured before the date of its publication.
