Introduction
This standard has been prepared to be a harmonised standard to provide one means of conforming with the
essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive and associated EFTA Regulations.
This document is a C-type standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this standard.
When provisions of this C type standard are different from those which are stated in A or B standards, the provision
of this C type standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards for machines that have been
designed and built according to the provisions of this C type standard.
Complementary guidance is given in the A and B standards to which reference is made in the text (see clause 2).
The figures are intended to be examples only and not to give the only interpretation of the text.
The requirements of this European Standard concern designers, manufacturers, suppliers and importers of
machines described in the scope.
This standard also includes information to be provided by the manufacturer to the user.
1 Scope
1.1 This European Standard specifies technical safety requirements and measures to be adopted by persons
undertaking the design, manufacture and supply of mechanical presses with part revolution clutch hereinafter
