Entertainment technology - Part 1: Machinery for stages and other production areas - Safety requirements and inspections
This document applies to machinery, machinery installations and machinery control systems used in places of assembly and in staging and production facilities for events and theatrical productions (stage machinery, for short). Such facilities include theatres, multi-purpose halls, exhibition halls; film, television and radio studios; concert halls, schools, bars, discotheques, open-air stages and other rooms for shows and events.
The document applies to machinery installations with guided or unguided loads.
This document covers machinery used in the entertainment industry including machinery that is excluded from the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) specifically Article 1, 2(j) which excludes “machinery intended to move performers during artistic performances”.
This machinery includes controls, electrical and electronic control systems, electrical and electronic equipment, hydraulic and pneumatic power supplies.
The principles in this document also apply to machinery installations based on new technologies or specially designed installations which are not expressly mentioned here but which nevertheless operate in a similar manner or are meant for similar purposes to the equipment listed above.

added to the document.
EN 17206, Machinery for stages and other production areas consists of the following parts:
— Part 1: Safety requirements and inspections [the present document]
— Part 2: Safety requirements for stands and truss lifts of stands
Introduction
The purpose of this document is to produce European safety specifications for the design, manufacture
and installation of lifting and load bearing equipment within the entertainment industry. Apart from the
Machinery Directive, the Council Directive 2009/104/EC of 16 September 2009 concerning the minimum
safety and health requirements for the use of work equipment by workers at work states in Annex II:
“3.1.3
Measures must be taken to ensure that workers are not present under suspended loads, unless such presence
is required for the effective operation of the work
Loads may not be moved above unprotected workplaces usually occupied by workers.
Where that is the case, if work cannot be carried out properly any other way, appropriate procedures must
be laid down and applied.”
This document considers situations that give rise to danger, such as moving or holding scenery or
equipment:
a) over persons and/or unprotected areas;
b) in areas with low light conditions, limited visibility, for example while using stage fog and other
masking effects.
These situations apply not only during performances, but also during rehearsals, technical set-up,
preparations, installations and other situations. This document covers these hazards and suggests
appropriate procedures to maintain safety.
Machinery installations are all technical installations and equipment used for operations in stage and
production facilities in the entertainment industry. Such installations are used to lift, lower, suspend and
carry loads (e.g. scenery, traverse systems, or lighting, film/video and sound equipment). They can also
be used to move persons, and persons can stand under such equipment while the loads are at rest or in
motion.
“Stages” are, for example, staging facilities and production areas in theatres, multipurpose halls, studios,
production facilities for film, television or radio, concert halls, congress centres, schools, exhibition
centres, trade-fair centres, museums, discotheques, amusement parks, sports facilities and open-air-
theatres.
“Events” are, for example, concerts, shows, congresses, exhibitions, presentations, demonstrations, film
or television recordings, etc.
This document considers permanently and temporarily installed lifting and movement equipment for
stages and production areas within the entertainment industry.
This document does not consider the design or control of fire curtains.
Typical applications of this document include but are not limited to the following:
— acoustic doors;
— auditorium elevators;
— compensating elevators;
— cycloramas;
— fly bar systems (manually powered and motor driven);
— lighting bars;
— movable lighting towers;
— movable proscenium arches;
— orchestra elevators;
— performer flying systems;
— point hoists;
— revolving stages and turntables;
— rotators;
— scenery storage elevators;
— side stage and rear stage shutters;
— stage elevators;
— stage wagons;
— tiltable stage floors;
— track guided systems;
— trap elevators.
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provision of the other standards, for machines
that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
1 Scope
This document applies to machinery, machinery installations and machinery control systems used in
places of assembly and in staging and production facilities for events and theatrical productions (stage
machinery, for short). Such facilities include theatres, multi-purpose halls, exhibition halls; film,
television and radio studios; concert halls, schools, bars, discotheques, open-air stages and other rooms
for shows and events.
The document applies to machinery installations with guided or unguided loads.
This document covers machinery used in the entertainment industry including machinery that is
excluded from the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) specifically Article 1, 2(j) which excludes
“machinery intended to move performers during artistic performances”.
This machinery includes controls, electrical and electronic control systems, electrical and electronic
equipment, hydraulic and pneumatic power supplies.
The principles in this document also apply to machinery installations based on new technologies or
specially designed installations which are not expressly mentioned here but which nevertheless operate
in a similar manner or are meant for similar purposes to the equipment listed above.

— avert arising or reduce existing hazards to persons, damage to machinery or to work in progress, and
— be initiated by a single human action
Note 1 to entry: ISO 13850 gives detailed provisions.
[SOURCE: EN ISO 12100:2010, 3.40, modified — Term “E-Stop” added]
3.1.4
failure
termination of the ability of an item to perform a required function
Note 1 to entry: After failure the item has a fault.
Note 2 to entry: “Failure” is an event, as distinguished from “fault”, which is a state.
Note 3 to entry: This concept as defined does not apply to items consisting of software only.
Note 4 to entry: In practice the terms “failure” and “fault” are often used synonymously.
[SOURCE: IEV 192-03-01]
3.1.5
fault
state of an item characterized by inability to perform a required function, excluding the inability during
preventive maintenance or other planned actions, or due to lack of external resources
Note 1 to entry: A fault is often the result of a failure of the item itself, but can exist without prior failure.
Note 2 to entry: In the field of machinery, the English term “fault” is commonly used in accordance with the
definition in IEV 192-04-01, whereas the French term “défaut” and the German term “Fehler” are used rather than
the terms “Panne” and “Fehlzustand” that appear in the IEV with this definition.

the load being either uniformly distributed or concentrated (point load)
Note 1 to entry: A distinction is made between manually powered flying systems (e.g. manual counterweight
systems) and motor-driven systems (e.g. with electric or hydraulic drive).
3.1.7
hazard
potential source of harm
Note 1 to entry: The term “hazard” can be qualified in order to define its origin (for example, mechanical hazard,
electrical hazard) or the nature of the potential harm (for example, electric shock hazard, cutting hazard, toxic
hazard, fire hazard).
Note 2 to entry: The hazard envisaged by this definition either
— is permanently present during the intended use of the machine (for example, motion of hazardous moving
elements, electric arc during a welding phase, unhealthy posture, noise emission, high temperature), or
— can appear unexpectedly (for example, explosion, crushing hazard as a consequence of an
unintended/unexpected start-up, ejection as a consequence of a breakage, fall as a consequence of
acceleration/deceleration).
Note 3 to entry: The French term “phénomène dangereux” should not be confused with the term “risque”, which was
sometimes used instead in the past.
