Overview

EN 61310-2:2008 - Safety of machinery: Indication, marking and actuation - Part 2: Requirements for marking (CLC / CENELEC, based on IEC 61310-2:2007) specifies general rules for marking machinery. It covers marking for identification, safe use with respect to mechanical and electrical hazards, and measures to avoid hazards from incorrect connections. The 2008 edition supersedes EN 61310-2:1995 and includes updated and additional safety signs in Annex A.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and purpose: Rules for visual markings used to identify machinery, components, and connections that affect operator and maintenance safety.
• Marking of complete machinery: Principles for labelling machines so they can be identified and used safely throughout their life cycle.
• Marking for safe use: Markings that warn of mechanical and electrical hazards, indicate safe operating limits and rated values, and guide safe maintenance and operation.
• Marking of connections: Requirements to mark mechanical, fluid and electrical connections to prevent incorrect assembly or hazardous connections.
• Durability and attachment: Expectations on the longevity and legibility of markings under expected environmental and operating conditions.
• Graphical symbols and safety signs: Annex A provides graphical symbols and safety signs (aligned with IEC/ISO symbol databases and ISO 7010/ISO 7000 references).
• Normative references: The standard references related documents such as IEC 60204-1 (electrical equipment of machines), IEC/ISO symbol standards, IP codes (IEC 60529) and SI/letter symbol standards (IEC 60027 series).
• Regulatory linkage: EN 61310-2:2008 is cited as a way to meet specific essential requirements of EC Machinery Directives (98/37/EC and 2006/42/EC) for marking and information.

Practical applications

• Designers and OEMs: Define required nameplates, safety markings, and connection identification to meet machine safety requirements and support CE documentation.
• Safety engineers and risk assessors: Integrate standard-compliant warnings and symbols into risk reduction measures for mechanical and electrical hazards.
• Control panel builders and installers: Label terminals, connectors and wiring to avoid incorrect connections and to simplify commissioning and maintenance.
• Technical writers and documentation teams: Include standard-compliant markings and symbol sets in manuals, wiring diagrams and installation instructions.
• Maintenance departments: Use durable markings to ensure safe service access and replacement parts identification.

Related standards

• EN/IEC 61310-1 (visual, acoustic and tactile signals)
• IEC 60204-1 (safety of machinery - electrical equipment)
• ISO 7010 / ISO 7000 (graphical safety symbols)
• IEC 60529 (IP code)

EN 61310-2:2008 is essential when specifying machine marking for compliance, safety labeling, and avoiding hazards from incorrect connections. Use it alongside EN 61310-1 and IEC 60204-1 for complete indication and marking guidance.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61310-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 44: Safety
of machinery – Electrotechnical aspects.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1995 and constitutes a
