Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
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 machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events
are covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-
B standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the
other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this
type-C standard.
While producing this standard it was assumed that:
— components without specific requirements are:
a) designed in accordance with the usual engineering practice and calculation codes, including all
failure modes;
b) of sound mechanical and electrical construction;
c) made of materials with adequate strength and of suitable quality;
d) made of materials free of defects;
— harmful materials, such as asbestos are not used as part of the machine;
— components are kept in good repair and working order, so that the required characteristics remain
despite wear;
— by design of the load bearing elements, a safe operation of the machine is ensured for loading
ranging from zero to 100 % of the rated possibilities and during the tests;
— dialogue has taken place between the user and the supplier concerning the conditions for the use
and places of use of the machinery including noise;

— the working places are adequately lit;
— the places of installation allow a safe use of the machine.

1 Scope
1.1 This document deals with the technical requirements to minimize the hazards listed in Annex F.
These hazards can arise during the operation and maintenance of continuous handling equipment and
systems when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his
authorized representative. This document deals with safety related technical verification during
commissioning.
1.2 This document applies to mechanical handling devices as defined in Clause 3, singly or combined
to form a conveyor system, and designed exclusively for moving unit loads continuously on a
predefined route from the loading to the unloading points, possibly with varying speed or cyclically. In
general, it also applies to conveyors which are built into machines or attached to machines.
1.3 Safety requirements and/or measures in this document apply to equipment used in all
environments. However, additional risk assessments and safety measures need to be considered for
uses in severe conditions, e.g.
— freezer applications,
— high temperatures,
— corrosive environments,
— strong magnetic fields,
— potentially explosive atmospheres,
— radioactive conditions and loads the nature of which could lead to a dangerous situation (e.g.
molten metal, acids/bases, especially brittle loads, explosives),
— operation on ships and earthquake effects and
— contact with foodstuff.
1.4 This document deals with the technical requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
1.5 This document does not cover hazards during decommissioning. It also does not cover operation
in environments where the electromagnetic disturbances are outside the range of those specified in
EN 61000-6-2:2016.
This document does not apply to conveying equipment and systems used underground or in public
areas and to aircraft ground support equipment. In public areas only baggage carousels and check-in
conveyors for airports are dealt with in this document.
NOTE Aircraft ground support equipment is covered by the standards of CEN/TC 274.
1.6 This document is not applicable to continuous handling equipment and systems manufactured
before the date of its publication.
