Safety of machinery - Rules for the drafting and presentation of safety standards
This document presents rules for the drafting and presentation of European Standards dealing with machinery safety and their revisions, primarily to achieve consistency and acceptable quality of the various standards to be prepared.
It also gives requirements on the criteria for the selection of new work items and for procedures to prepare, produce or revise standards in an efficient and effective way.
This document gives requirements that are additional to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, Part 3, when this is necessary owing to the special requirements of machinery safety standards.
This document is primarily intended for the drafting of type-C standards. It is also applicable to the drafting of type-B standards; however, the foreseeable variation in the format of these standards prevents general application. When its requirements are specific to type-B standards, this is indicated.

European foreword
This document (CEN Guide 414:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 114 "Safety
of machinery", the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is intended for use by Technical Committees writing type B and type C standards in the
field of Safety of Machinery (as defined in 3.2 and 3.3).
It gives the rules for the presentation of standards requested by CEN/BT in the programme mandated
from the European Commission in support of the "Machinery Directive" (Directive 2006/42/EU).
This document supersedes CEN Guide 414:2014.
The revision of CEN Guide 414 takes into account ISO Guide 78:2012, relevant ISO/IEC Directives,
CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, resolutions and guidance of CEN/BT, and the CEN Business
Operations Support System. It is also the result of feedback from TCs and WGs using the first edition of
CEN Guide 414:2014 when revising type B and type C standards.
The main changes with respect to the second edition (CEN Guide 414:2014) are as follows:
a) The introductory wording to Clause 2 and Clause 3 has been updated in accordance with the
CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, Part 3:2017.
b) 5.2, item b) has been deleted.
c) 6.10 has been updated and re-numbered.
d) Annex B has been updated by introducing the generic template for Annex Z… amended in
accordance with decision CEN/BT 23/2016.
e) In Table D.1 the reference to EN ISO 12100 has been stated more precisely.
f) All cross references to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, Part 3 have been updated with
regard to the edition of February 2017.

Introduction
As a response to the increased global trade in machinery, the relevant CEN/CENELEC Technical
Committees have undertaken publication of a series of related machinery safety standards. It has thus
been necessary to develop rules for the preparation, drafting and presentation of such safety standards,
supplementing the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, Part 3, which sets out general principles and
requirements for all European Standards.
This document provides those rules. It is intended for use by Technical Committees writing type-B and
type-C standards in the field of safety of machinery (as defined in 3.2 and 3.3). It both makes use of, and
refers to, the principles and concepts established in EN ISO 12100, and also takes into account, as far as
possible, ISO/IEC Guide 51.
European Standards prepared according to this Guide are intended as a means for supporting European
regulations, in particular, the "Machinery Directive" (Directive 2006/42/EC).

1 Scope
This document presents rules for the drafting and presentation of European Standards dealing with
machinery safety and their revisions, primarily to achieve consistency and acceptable quality of the
various standards to be prepared.
It also gives requirements on the criteria for the selection of new work items and for procedures to
prepare, produce or revise standards in an efficient and effective way.
This document gives requirements that are additional to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations,
Part 3, when this is necessary owing to the special requirements of machinery safety standards.
This document is primarily intended for the drafting of type-C standards. It is also applicable to the
drafting of type-B standards; however, the foreseeable variation in the format of these standards
prevents general application. When its requirements are specific to type-B standards, this is indicated.

4 General principles
4.1 All safety standards
The CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, Part 3 and EN ISO 12100 shall be used in conjunction with this
document when preparing a new safety standard or revising an existing one.
A safety standard shall not contradict the basic concepts and general principles for design stated in a
type-A standard, but can deviate from specific requirements. The overall purpose of the type-A
standard is to provide manufacturers, designers, etc. with the strategy or framework necessary to
1)
achieve adequate risk reduction.
In general, the standards should not repeat or paraphrase the text of other reference standards;
however, for better understanding of safety standards, it is acceptable to repeat a basic definition or
concept, the scope of the standard, and/or a basic requirement given in EN ISO 12100.
NOTE For the purposes of this document, the terms "protective measure" (see EN ISO 12100:2010, 3.19) and
"risk reduction measure" are synonymous and defined as any action or means used to eliminate hazards and/or
reduce risks.
1) A definition of adequate risk reduction is given in EN ISO 12100:2010, 3.18.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST CEN Vodilo 414:2017
CEN Guide 414:2017 (E)
4.2 Type-B standards
They shall
a) deal either with one safety aspect (type-B1 standard) or a safeguard (type-B2 standard),
b) for type-B1 standards, define the basic principles of the safety topic and define by data and/or
methodology how these can be applied to type-C standards, including, where relevant, the means of
verification,
c) for type-B2 standards, give the performance requirements for the design and construction of the
safeguard together with the means of verification, and
d) establish, as necessary and practicable, performance requirements (for example, types or
performance levels) based on the application.
NOTE Possible reasons for establishing different performance requirements are:
— the severity of the possible harm from the considered hazard,
— the frequency and duration of the hazardous situation,
— the probability of occurrence of a hazardous event, and
— the possibility to avoid or limit the harm.
4.3 Type-C standards
4.3.1 General
Type-C standards should deal with all the significant hazards concerning one type of machine or one
group of machines in one standard, as follows.
a) By reference to relevant and applicable type-B standards (see 6.7.4).
1) Any type-B standard available as a draft standard (stage 40.20) may be used as a reference
standard on the condition that the reference is dated.
2) When type-B standards offer a choice between various solutions (for example,
EN ISO 13857:2008 offers the alternative of Table 1 for low risks and Table 2 for high risks, for
reaching over protective structures), the type-C standard shall state which solution(s) shall be
used.
b) By reference to other standards (such as another type-C standard) where such significant hazards
are adequately dealt with (see 4.4).
c) By specifying safety requirements in the standard, when reference to other standards is not
possible or not sufficient and where risk assessment and priorities show this is required (see 5.4 to
5.6).
d) By dealing as far as possible with objectives rather than design details to minimize restrictions on
design.
10
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
SIST CEN Vodilo 414:2017
CEN Guide 414:2017 (E)
4.3.2 Mandatory provisions
Type-C standards shall clearly establish the following:
— the scope (see 5.3 and 6.4);
— the significant hazard(s) (see 6.10.3.1);
— the requirements prescribing protective/risk reduction measures that add value to relevant
subclauses of EN ISO 12100:2010, Clause 6, originating from the significant hazard(s) (see 4.3.3, 5.7
and 6.7);
— the means of verifying the protective/risk reduction measures (see 5.8 and 6.8);
— information for use (see 6.9).
This means that, wherever possible, a type-C standard should deal with all significant hazards,
hazardous situations or hazardous events identified as arising from the use of the machine. The
justifiable exception to this comprehensive treatment of significant hazards, hazardous situations or
hazardous events is where a type-C standard deals with one or more hazard(s) that are sufficiently
important to require special treatment. Where a type-C standard deals with specific hazard(s), this
should be indicated clearly in the title and scope (for example, Safety of textile machines — Measurement
of noise). These standards may be produced as a series of parts forming a complete standard or as
several discrete standards that could be combined at a subsequent revision.
Where it is decided not to deal with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events
(for example, by lack of knowledge or because this will cause an unacceptable delay in the drafting of
the standard) this shall be clearly indicated in the scope (see 6.4.2).
A special case requiring careful consideration are those type-C standards dealing with "common
requirements". Common requirements are defined as those requirements adding value to existing type-
A or type-B standards that can be used to minimize or eliminate a risk occurring across the range of
defined machines and that can be applied to all or most of these machines. Any machines not covered by
a particular aspect of a common requirement should be identified as an exclusion. Too many exclusions
from any common requirement would indicate that it is not common. The standard dealing with
"common requirements" should not contain unspecific general principles.
4.3.3 Provisions with added value
It is a basic principle that type-C standards shall contain sufficient added value to the requirements of
existing type-A and type-B standards. Added value will normally consist of a description of specific
protective/risk reduction measure(s) dealing with the significant hazard, hazardous situation or
hazardous event. However, this may also include reference to type-B standards or to other reference
standards (see 6.7).
In the absence of a published type-B standard, common requirement standard or other reference
standard, the following options are available:
— repeat in full the relevant sections of the draft type-B standard, draft common requirement
standard, or any other suitable technical document;
— refer to the relevant section of a draft standard identified by number and date of issue;
11
---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
SIST CEN Vodilo 414:2017
CEN Guide 414:2017 (E)
— refer to a technical specification produced by a professional organization - this can be done
following the specific policy on normative references;
— seek help from the TC/WG (technical committee/working group) preparing the relevant type-B
standard;
— provide self-drafted data/specification.
Dealing with a significant hazard by direct reference to the relevant subclauses of EN ISO 12100:2010,
Clause 6 is only acceptable
a) where this reference gives sufficient requirements (particularly the Information for use clause, see
6.9), and
b) if the drafting of requirements would cause an unacceptable delay in the preparation of the
standard.
However, in the case of b):
— it shall be stated in the scope that the hazard concerned is not dealt with in the current version of
the standard;
— the TC shall make every effort to complete as soon as possible the drafting of the needed
requirements.
4.4 Need for a type-B standard
The creation of a type-B standard (see 6.10.2) shall be considered when requirements appropriate to
more than one type of machine or one group of machines have been identified.
4.5 Deviations in a type-C standard
When a type-C standard deviates from one of several aspects or requirements dealt with by a type-A or
type-B standard, then the existing type-C standard shall take precedence over the type-A or type-B
standard (see 6.3.2).
The reason for any deviation shall be carefully justified and kept by the responsible body in the
standardization file or, in case of comments at draft stage (40.20), in the CRM (comments resolution
meeting) file.
5 Principles to be considered before and during drafting process
5.1 General
Whereas the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC states in its Annex I Essential Requirements, the general
methodology for safety of machinery specified in EN ISO 12100 is based on the consideration of
significant hazards basically without any specific reference to the Essential Requirements of
Directive 2006/42/EC. Annex D gives as far as possible examples of significant hazards, hazardous
situations, hazardous events and their relation to this Essential Requirements.
Before a standard is drafted, the need for it shall have been established, using the criteria given in 5.2.
NOTE The result of the procedure can provide information which can be used in the scope (see 5.3).
During the drafting process and the revision of a standard, the procedure given in 5.3 to 5.8 shall be
carried out in the order indicated, in order to provide information that will allow an appropriate
standard to be drafted.

SIST CEN Vodilo 414:2017
CEN Guide 414:2017 (E)
5.2 Determination of necessity for standardization and/or revision
The need for standardization and/or for the revision of an existing standard and the respective
priorities shall be determined from the answers to the questions posed in 5.2 a) to 5.2 k), as applicable.
a) Is there a demand for European Standards arising from interested bodies (relevant market players
such as regulatory bodies, manufacturers’ associations, employees’ or employers’ associations,
trade unions, accident prevention organizations or consumer organizations)?
b) Is there a need for a standard (for example, terminology) to support other safety standards?
c) Are there significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events generating risk to the
safety or health of persons? See EN ISO 12100:2010, 5.4.
d) If a new technology is to be standardized, is it sufficiently stable and established in the market and
can it be therefore considered as state-of-the-art?
e) Is there, or will there be in the foreseeable future, a sufficient number of related machines or
safeguards to justify the production of a standard?
f) Are there national standards/specifications giving specific requirements, either directly or by
reference to another document, which can be barriers to international trade?
g) Are there proven professional, national or international documents or other documents available to
give a reasonable expectation of positive and rapid results?
h) Is there sufficient expertise, collective knowledge and experience for standardization?
i) Is there sufficient availability of experts (in principle from at least five members), project leader
and support (secretariat, financial resources)?
j) Is there sufficient feedback on the use of the existing safety standard?
k) Has the state of the art changed such that the existing safety standard has become at least partly
obsolete?
5.3 Definition of scope
The precise limits of the machine or group of machines to be standardized shall be established and shall
include the following (see EN ISO 12100:2010, 5.3):
a) definition of the machine or group of similar machines;
b) determination of the intended use of the machine (see EN ISO 12100:2010, 3.23);
c) determination of the space limits (see EN ISO 12100:2010, 5.3.3);
d) determination of the foreseeable "life limit", when applicable;
e) definition of the field of application.
Any machines and/or hazards not covered by the standard shall be clearly stated in the scope.
The various phases in the life of the machine to be dealt with in the standard shall be established. See
EN ISO 12100:2010, 5.4.
