Overview
EN 1005-1:2001+A1:2008 - "Safety of machinery - Human physical performance - Part 1: Terms and definitions" is a CEN harmonized (type B) standard that defines the vocabulary and conceptual parameters used across the EN 1005 series. It provides standardized terms for human physical performance relevant to machinery design, operation and risk assessment, and supports conformity with EU Machinery Directives (see informative Annexes ZA and ZB). The standard is intended to improve consistency between ergonomics, biomechanics and risk-assessment practices when applying the other EN 1005 parts.
Key topics and technical content
- Core purpose: Establish clear terms and definitions for concepts used in EN 1005-2, EN 1005-3, EN 1005-4 and EN 1005-5.
- Typical defined terms include: abduction/adduction, angle of asymmetry, action/action period, grip types (pinch, hook, power), manual handling concepts (lifting, carrying), horizontal/vertical location (H, V), vertical displacement (D), reference mass vs actual mass, operator, posture, static posture, rest and recovery time, technical aids.
- Ergonomic framing: Positions EN 1005-1 as complementary to general ergonomic design principles in EN 292-1, EN 292-2 and EN 614-1.
- Regulatory alignment: Includes Annex ZA and ZB showing correspondence with EU Directives (98/37/EC as amended and 2006/42/EC), supporting presumption of conformity when applied within its scope.
- Limitations: Not applicable to machines manufactured before the document’s publication; intended to be used alongside specific machine (type C) standards where those take precedence.
Practical applications and users
Who uses EN 1005-1:
- Machinery designers and manufacturers - to apply consistent ergonomic terminology when designing safe, user-centred equipment.
- Ergonomists and biomechanists - to ensure common definitions when assessing human physical performance in machine tasks.
- Health & safety and risk-assessment professionals - to interpret and apply EN 1005-series methods (manual handling, force limits, posture evaluation, repetitive tasks).
- Standards committees and technical writers - to harmonize vocabulary across technical documents and normative references.
Practical value: - Promotes consistent risk assessment and ergonomic design decisions across projects and organizations.
- Facilitates compliance with CE/Machinery Directive requirements by aligning terminology with harmonized standards.
