SIST EN ISO 14122-1:2016

Safety of machinery - Permanent means of access to machinery - Part 1: Choice of fixed means and general requirements of access (ISO 14122-1:2016)

This part of ISO 14122 gives general requirements for access to stationary machines and guidance about
the correct choice of means of access when necessary access to the stationary machine is not possible
directly from the ground level or from a floor.
It is applicable to permanent means of access which are a part of a stationary machine, and also to nonpowered
adjustable parts (e.g. foldable, slidable) and movable parts of 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, ladders)
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 a relevant access-specific part of ISO 14122.
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.
For the significant hazards covered by this part of ISO 14122, see Clause 4.

Sicherheit von Maschinen - Ortsfeste Zugänge zu maschinellen Anlagen - Teil 1: Wahl eines ortsfesten Zugangs und allgemeine Anforderungen (ISO 14122-1:2016)

Diese Internationale Norm gilt für stationäre Maschinen, für die ortsfeste Zugänge erforderlich sind.
Diese Internationale Norm gilt für Zugänge, die Teil einer Maschine sind.
Diese Internationale 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.
Dieser Teil von ISO 14122 definiert generelle Anforderungen für Zugänge zu Maschinen.
Dieser Teil von ISO 14122 gibt Hinweise zur richtigen Wahl der Zugänge, wenn der nötige Zutritt zu der Maschine nicht direkt vom Boden oder von einer Ebene möglich ist.
ANMERKUNG 1 Falls keine nationale Norm oder Vorschrift anwendbar ist, darf diese Norm auch für Zugänge angewendet werden, die außerhalb des Anwendungsbereiches dieser Norm sind.
Diese Internationale Norm gilt auch für verstellbare (z. B. klappbare oder verschiebbare) Bauteile und für die beweglichen Teile ortsfester Zugänge.
Diese Internationale Norm gilt nicht für Aufzüge, für fahrbare Hubarbeitsbühnen oder für andere Einrichtungen, die für die Personenbeförderung zwischen zwei Ebenen vorgesehen sind.
Diese Internationale Norm gilt nicht für Maschinen, die vor ihrem Erscheinungsdatum hergestellt wurden.
Für die signifikanten Gefährdungen, die durch diese Norm abgedeckt werden, siehe Abschnitt 4.
ANMERKUNG 2 Für mobile Maschinen können aufgrund ihrer Abmessungen und besonderen Nutzungsbedingungen spezifische Anforderungen angewendet werden, die von dieser Norm abweichen. Daher besteht die Absicht, eine Norm für mobile Maschinen zu entwickeln, von der geländegängige mobile Maschinen ausgenommen sind. Für Zugänge zu geländegängigen mobilen Maschinen, wie z. B. Erdbaumaschinen, siehe ISO 2867 und für Landmaschinen siehe ISO 4254-1.

Sécurité des machines - Moyens d'accès permanents aux machines - Partie 1: Choix d'un moyen d'accès et des exigences générales d'accès (ISO 14122-1:2016)

ISO 14122-1:2016 donne les exigences pour l'accès aux machines fixes ainsi que les lignes directrices 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.
Elle est applicable aux moyens d'accès permanents faisant partie intégrante d'une machine fixe, aux parties réglables non-motorisées (par exemple pliables, coulissantes) ainsi qu'aux parties mobiles de ces systèmes d'échelles fixes.
NOTE 1       Les moyens d'accès «fixes» sont ceux montés de telle manière (par exemple par boulonnage, par soudage) qu'ils ne puissent être ouvert ou démonté qu'à l'aide d'outils.
ISO 14122-1:2016 spécifie les exigences minimales s'appliquant également aux moyens d'accès aux parties du bâtiment ou de la construction civile (par exemple plates-formes de travail, passerelles, échelles) où la machine est installée, à condition que la fonction principale de cette partie de la construction soit de donner accès à la machine.
NOTE 2       Lorsqu'aucune norme nationale ou réglementation n'existe, la présente partie de l'ISO 14122 peut être utilisée pour les moyens d'accès en dehors de son domaine d'application.
ISO 14122-1:2016 est destinée à être utilisée conjointement avec une des parties de l'ISO 14122 spécifique aux accès, selon le cas.
L'ensemble de la série de normes ISO 14122 est applicable aux machines fixes et mobiles pour lesquelles des moyens d'accès fixes sont nécessaires. Cette série n'est pas applicable aux moyens d'accès motorisés tels que les ascenseurs, les escalators, ou d'autres dispositifs conçus spécialement pour soulever des personnes entre deux niveaux.
ISO 14122-1:2016 n'est pas applicable aux machines fabriquées avant sa date de publication.
Pour les phénomènes dangereux significatifs couverts par la présente partie de l'ISO 14122, voir l'Article 4.

Varnost strojev - Stalni dostopi do strojev - 1. del: Izbira stalnega dostopa in splošne zahteve za dostop (ISO 14122-1:2016)

Ta del standarda ISO 14122 določa splošne zahteve za dostop do stacionarnih strojev in smernice glede pravilne izbire načina dostopa, kadar obvezni dostop do stacionarnega stroja ni mogoč neposredno s tal ali površja.
Uporablja se za trajne načine dostopa, ki so del stacionarnega stroja, in tudi za prilagodljive dele brez pogona (npr. zložljive, drsne) ter premične dele fiksnih načinov dostopa.
OPOMBA 1: »Fiksni« načini dostopa so tisti, ki so nameščeni na tak način (na primer z vijaki, maticami, privarjeni), da jih je mogoče odstraniti samo z orodjem.
Ta del standarda ISO 14122 določa minimalne zahteve, ki veljajo tudi, kadar je enak način dostopa zahtevan kot del objekta ali nizke gradnje (npr. delovne ploščadi, pohodne poti, lestve), če je stroj vgrajen, pod pogojem, da je glavna funkcija tega dela konstrukcije zagotoviti način dostopa do stroja.
OPOMBA 2: Če ni lokalnih predpisov ali standardov, je ta del standarda ISO 14122 mogoče uporabiti za načine dostopa, ki so zunaj področja uporabe tega standarda.
Ta del standarda ISO 14122 je namenjen za uporabo z ustreznim delom standarda ISO 14122, ki se nanaša na dostop.
Skupina standardov ISO 14122 se kot celota uporablja za stacionarne in mobilne stroje, kjer je potreben
fiksni način dostopa. Ne uporablja se za načine dostopa s pogonom, kot so dvigala, tekoče stopnice ali druge naprave, posebej zasnovane za dviganje oseb med dvema ravnema.
Ta del standarda ISO 14122 se ne uporablja za stroje, izdelane pred datumom njegove objave. Posebne nevarnosti, ki jih zajema ta del standarda ISO 14122, so navedene v točki 4.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

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 people 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. This part of ISO 14122 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 and contains “Examples of the possible changes in the machine or system to
make a better access possible”.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 14122-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 199, Safety of machinery.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition which has been technically revised.
ISO 14122 consists of the following parts, under the general title Safety of machinery — Permanent means of
access to machines:
Part 1: Choice of fixed means of access
Part 2: Working platforms and walkways
Part 3: Stairs, stepladders and guard-rails
Part 4: Fixed ladders

Introduction
This document is a type-B standard as stated in ISO 12100.

This document 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 organisations, market surveillance etc.);
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the above-
mentioned stakeholder groups:

 machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
 machine users/employees (e. g. trade unions, organizations for people 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 document.

In addition this document is intended for standardisation bodies elaborating type-C standards.

The requirements of this document 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 standard is to define the general requirements for safe access to machines. This part of
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.
Annex A is informative and contains "Examples of the possible changes in the machine or system to make a
better access possible".

1 Scope
This International Standard is applicable to stationary machinery where fixed means of access are necessary.
This International Standard is applicable to means of access which are a part of a machine.
This International Standard 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.
This part of ISO 14122 defines general requirements for access to machines.
This part of 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.
NOTE 1 If no national standard or regulation is applicable this standard may be used also for means of access which
are outside the scope of this standard.
This International Standard is applicable also to adjustable parts (e. g. foldable, slidable) and to the movable
parts of fixed means of access.
This International Standard is not applicable to lifts, escalators or other devices specially designed to lift
persons between two levels.
This International Standard is not applicable to machinery manufactured before the date of its publication.

For the significant hazards covered by this standard, see clause 4.
NOTE 2 For mobile machinery, due to their dimensions and particular conditions of use, specific requirements
deviating from this standard can be applied. Therefore it is intended to develop a standard for mobile machinery excluding
mobile machinery used in rough terrain. For access to mobile machinery used in rough terrain such earth moving
machinery see ISO 2867 and for agriculture machinery see ISO 4254-1.
