Introduction
This Technical Report is written to assist the designer/manufacturer of machinery and related
components in understanding and navigating the different types of ISO machinery safety standards.
It identifies the different kinds of documents in ISO (see Table B.1) and explains the type-A, type-B and
type-C structure of machinery safety standards and their interrelationship with regard to the practical
design of machinery subjected to adequate risk reduction to achieve tolerable risk.
This part of ISO/TR 22100 might be helpful for standard writing committees (type-B and type-C), too.
However, it does not provide specification of the general content that is expected to be included in the
different types of machinery safety standards. This specification is given in ISO Guide 78.
This part of ISO/TR 22100 includes a visual representation of many ISO machinery safety standards
to assist in improving understanding of the interrelationships and linkages between these documents.

4 General structure of the system of machinery safety standards
Standards on safety of machinery have the following structure:
— type-A standards (basic safety standards) giving basic concepts, principles for design, and general
aspects that can be applied to machinery;
— type-B standards (generic safety standards) dealing with one safety aspect or one type of safeguard
that can be used across a wide range of machinery;
— type-C standards (machine safety standards) dealing with detailed safety requirements for a
particular machine or group of machines.
As shown in Figure 1, ISO 12100 is the type-A standard specifying the general principles for safety of
machinery and applies to all machinery.

5 System of type-A, type-B and type-C standards
5.1 Type-A standard (ISO 12100)
The type-A standard ISO 12100 specifies the principle strategy for safety of machinery. Risk assessment
and adequate risk reduction by an iterative three-step method are the imperative measures to design a
machine to achieve a level of tolerable risk.
To implement risk assessment and risk reduction, the following actions should be taken by the designer
in the order given (see Figure 2):
a) determine the limits of the machinery, which includes the intended use and any reasonably
foreseeable misuse thereof;
b) identify the hazards and associated hazardous situations;
c) estimate the risk for each identified hazard and hazardous situation;
d) evaluate the risk and decision whether a risk reduction is needed or not;
e) eliminate the hazard or reduction of the risk associated with the hazard by means of protective
measures/risk reduction measures.
NOTE 1 For the purposes of this Technical Report, the terms “protective measure” (see ISO 12100:2010, 3.19)
and “risk reduction measure” are synonymous and referred to any action or means used to eliminate hazards
and/or reduce risks.

ISO/TR 22100-1:2015(E)

Actions a) to d) are related to risk assessment and action e) to risk reduction.
Risk assessment is a series of logical steps to enable, in a systematic way, the identification of hazards as
well as the estimation and evaluation of the risks associated with machinery.
As a result of the risk assessment, the hazards requiring risk reduction are determined. Iteration of the
process of risk assessment can be necessary to eliminate newly generated hazards as far as reasonably
practicable or to adequately reduce associated risks by the implementation of protective measures/risk
reduction measures in order to achieve tolerable risk.
Protective measures/risk reduction measures are the combination of the measures implemented by the
designer and the user in accordance with Figure 3. Measures which can be incorporated at the design
stage are preferable to those implemented by the user and usually prove more effective.
The objective to be met is the greatest practicable risk reduction. The strategy defined in this clause is
represented by the flowchart in Figure 2. The process itself is iterative and several successive applications
can be necessary to reduce the risk, making the best use of available technology. In carrying out this
process, it is necessary to take into account these four factors, in the following order of preference:
— the safety of the machine during all the phases of its life cycle;
— the ability of the machine to perform its function;
— the usability of the machine;
— the manufacturing, operational and dismantling costs of the machine.
NOTE 2 The ideal application of these principles requires knowledge of the machine design and its intended
use, the practical use of the machine, the accident history and health records, available risk reduction techniques,
and the legal framework in which the machine is intended to be used (placed on the market).

Key
a
Providing proper information for use is part of the designer’s contribution to risk reduction, but the protective
measures concerned are only effective when implemented by the user.
b
The user input is that information received by the designer from either the user community regarding the
intended use of the machine in general or that which is received from a specific user.
c
There is no hierarchy between the various protective measures implemented by the user. These protective
measures are outside the scope of this part of ISO/TR 22100.
d
Those protective measures required due to specific process(es) not envisaged in the intended use of the
machine or to specific conditions for installation that cannot be controlled by the designer.

5.2 Type-B standards
5.2.1 General
According to ISO 12100, type-B standards deal either with one safety aspect (type-B1 standard) or
one type of safeguard that can be used across a wide range of machinery (type-B2 standard). Type-B
standards are intended to support the principle strategy from ISO 12100 in order to
— help determine if a hazard exists, for example, ISO 13857, Safety of machinery — Safety distances to
prevent access to hazard zones being reached by upper and lower limbs, and
— provide concrete information/measures to perform risk reduction, for example, ISO 14120, Safety of
machinery — Guards — General requirements for the design and construction of fixed and movable guards.
5.2.2 Type-B1 standards
Type-B1 standards deal with particular safety aspects (for example, safety distances, surface
temperature, noise) and define by data and/or methodology how these can be addressed. Type-B1
standards can be used directly by the designer/manufacturer or by reference in (a) type C standard(s),
including, where relevant, means of verification.
5.2.3 Type-B2 standards
Type-B2 standards provide the performance requirements for the design and construction of particular
safeguards (for example, two-hand control devices, interlocking devices, pressure-sensitive protective
devices, guards). Type-B2 standards can be applied either directly by the designer/manufacturer or by
reference in (a) type-C standard(s). Together with those performance requirements, type-B2 standards
specify, where relevant, means of verification.
5.3 Type-C standards
5.3.1 General
According to ISO 12100, type-C standards provide detailed safety requirements for particular machinery
or group of machinery.
NOTE The term “group of machinery” means machinery having a similar intended use and similar hazards,
hazardous situations, or hazardous events.
Type-C standards are machine specific. Their scope is determining the limits of the machinery and the
significant hazards covered.
Type-C standards are written by a team of technical experts (in particular, from machine manufacturers
and representatives from heal
