Safety of machinery - Reduction of risks to health resulting from hazardous substances emitted by machinery - Part 1: Principles and specifications for machinery manufacturers (ISO 14123-1:2015)

This European Standard deals with principles for the control of risks to health due to hazardous substances from machinery.
This European Standard is not applicable to substances which are a hazard to health solely because of their explosive, flammable or radioactive properties or their behaviour at extremes of temperature or pressure.

Sicherheit von Maschinen - Minderung von Gesundheitsrisiken, die auf Gefahrstoffemissionen von Maschinen zurückzuführen sind - Teil 1: Grundsätze und Festlegungen für Maschinenhersteller (ISO 14123-1:2015)

Dieser Teil von ISO 14123 stellt Grundsätze auf für die Überwachung von Gesundheitsrisiken, die auf Gefahrstoffemissionen von Maschinen zurückzuführen sind.
Dieser Teil von ISO 14123 gilt nicht für Gefahrstoffe, die ausschließlich aufgrund von explosiven, entzündlichen oder radioaktiven Eigenschaften oder deren Verhalten bei Temperatur- oder Druckextremen eine Gesundheitsgefährdung darstellen.

Sécurité des machines - Réduction des risques pour la santé résultant de substances dangereuses émises par des machines - Partie 1: Principes et spécifications à l'intention des constructeurs de machines (ISO 14123-1:2015)

ISO 14123-1:2015 établit des principes de maîtrise des risques pour la santé résultant des substances dangereuses émises par des machines.
ISO 14123-1:2015 ne couvre pas les substances constituant un danger pour la santé du seul fait de leur caractère explosif, inflammable, radioactif ou de leurs conditions de température (haute ou basse) ou de pression (haute ou basse).

Ta evropski standard opisuje načela za obvladovanje zdravstvenih tveganj zaradi nevarnih snovi iz strojev. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za snovi, ki so zdravju nevarne izključno zaradi svoje eksplozivnosti, vnetljivosti ali radioaktivnosti oziroma njihovega obnašanja pri skrajni temperaturi ali tlaku.

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.
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).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information

Introduction
The structure of safety standards in the field of machinery is as follows:
a) type-A standards (basic safety standards) giving basic concepts, principles for design, and general
aspects that can be applied to machinery;
b) 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-B1 standards on particular safety aspects (for example, safety distances, surface
temperature, noise);
— type-B2 standards on safeguards (for example, two-hand controls, interlocking devices,
pressure-sensitive devices, guards);
c) type-C standards (machine safety standards) dealing with detailed safety requirements for a
particular machine or group of machines.
This document is a type-B1 standard as stated in ISO 12100. Its primary purpose is to give guidance to
the writers of type-C standards when machines are identified as emitting hazardous substances as a
significant risk. This part of ISO 14123 can also be used as guidance in controlling the risk where there
is no type-C standard for a particular machine.
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 organizations, 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.
The requirements of this document can be supplemented or modified by a type-C standard.
For machines that are covered by the scope of a type-C standard and that have been designed and built
according to the requirements of that standard, the requirements of that type-C standard take precedence.
