ISO 12100-2:2003(E)
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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
ISO 12100-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 199, Safety of machinery.
This edition cancels and replaces ISO/TR 12100-2:1992, which has been technically revised.
ISO 12100 consists of the following parts, under the general title Safety of machinery — Basic concepts,
general principles for design:
Part 1: Basic terminology, methodology, expressing the basic overall methodology to be followed when
designing machinery and when producing safety standards for machinery, together with the basic
terminology related to the philosophy underlying this work;
Part 2: Technical principles, giving advice on how this philosophy can be applied using available
techniques.

ISO 12100-2:2003(E)
Introduction
The primary purpose of ISO 12100 is to provide designers with an overall framework and guidance to enable
them to produce machines that are safe for their intended use. It also provides a strategy for standard makers.
The concept of safety of machinery considers the ability of a machine to perform its intended function(s)
during its lifecycle where risk has been adequately reduced.
This standard is the basis for a set of standards which has the following structure:
type-A standards (basic safety standards) giving basic concepts, principles for design, and general
aspects that can be applied to all machinery;
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 (e.g. safety distances, surface temperature, noise);
type-B2 standards on safeguards (e.g. two-hand controls, interlocking devices, pressure sensitive
devices, guards);
type-C standards (machine safety standards) dealing with detailed safety requirements for a particular
machine or group of machines.
This standard is a type-A standard.
The subject of numerous clauses or subclauses of this standard is also dealt with, in a more detailed manner,
in other type-A or B standards.
When a type-C standard deviates from one or more provisions dealt with by Part 2 of this standard or by a
type-B standard, the type-C standard takes precedence.
It is recommended that this standard be incorporated in training courses and manuals to convey basic
terminology and general design methods to designers.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 12100-2:2003(E)
Safety of machinery — Basic concepts, general principles for
design — Part 2: Technical principles
1 Scope
This standard defines technical principles to help designers in achieving safety in the design of machinery.
ISO 12100-2 is intended to be used together with ISO 12100-1 when considering the solution to a specific
problem. The two parts of ISO 12100 can be used independently of other documents or as a basis for the
preparation of other type-A standards or type-B or -C standards.
This standard does not deal with damage to domestic animals, property or the environment.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
IEC 60204-1:1997, Safety of machinery – Electrical equipment of machines – Part 1: General requirements.
ISO 12100-1:2003, Safety of machinery – Basic concepts, general principles for design – Basic terminology,
methodology.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the terms and definitions given in ISO 12100-1:2003 apply.
4 Inherently safe design measures
4.1 General
Inherently safe design measures are the first and most important step in the risk reduction process because
protective measures inherent to the characteristics of the machine are likely to remain effective, whereas
experience has shown that even well-designed safeguarding may fail or be violated and information for use
may not be followed.
Inherently safe design measures are achieved by avoiding hazards or reducing risks by a suitable choice of
design features of the machine itself and/or interaction between the exposed persons and the machine.
NOTE Clause 5 gives safeguarding and complementary measures to achieve the risk reduction objectives where
inherently safe design measures are not sufficient (see 3-step method in ISO 12100-1:2003, clause 5).

ISO 12100-2:2003(E)
4.2 Consideration of geometrical factors and physical aspects
4.2.1 Geometrical factors
Such factors can be, e.g.:
designing the shape of machinery to maximise direct visibility of the working areas and hazard zones
from the control position, e.g. reducing blind spots, and choosing and locating means of indirect vision
where necessary (e.g. mirrors) so as to take into account the characteristics of human vision, particularly
when safe operation requires permanent direct control by the operator, e.g.:
the travelling and working area of mobile machines;
the zone of movement of lifted loads or of the carrier of machinery for lifting persons;
the area of contact of the tool of a hand-held or hand-guided machine with the material being worked;
The design of the machine shall be such that, from the main control position, the operator is able to
ensure that there are no exposed persons in the danger zones.
the shape and the relative location of the mechanical component parts; for instance, crushing and
shearing hazards are avoided by increasing the minimum gap between the moving parts, such that the
part of the body under consideration can enter the gap safely, or by reducing the gap so that no part of
the body can enter it (see ISO 13852, ISO 13853, ISO 13854);
avoiding sharp edges and corners, protruding parts. In so far as their purpose allows, accessible parts of
the machinery shall have no sharp edges, no sharp angles, no rough surfaces, no protruding parts likely to
cause injury, and no openings which may "trap" parts of the body or clothing. In particular, sheet metal edges
shall be deburred, flanged or trimmed, open ends of tubes which may cause a "trap" shall be capped;
designing the shape of the machine to achieve a proper working position and accessibility of manual controls
(actuators).
4.2.2 Physical aspects
Such aspects can be, e.g.:
limiting the actuating force to a sufficiently low value so that the actuated part does not generate a
mechanical hazard;
limiting the mass and/or velocity of the movable elements, and hence their kinetic energy;
limiting the emissions by acting on the characteristics of the source:
measures for reducing noise emission at source (see ISO/TR 11688-1);
measures for reducing the emission of vibration at source include e.g. redistribution or addition of
mass and change of process parameters, e.g. frequency and/or amplitude of movements (for hand-
held and hand-guided machinery, see CR 1030-1);
measures for reducing the emission of hazardous substances include e.g. use of less hazardous
substances or use of dust reducing processes;
measures for reducing radiation emissions include e.g. avoiding the use of hazardous radiation
sources, limiting the power of radiation to the lowest level sufficient for the proper functioning of the
machine, designing the source so that the beam is concentrated on the target, increasing the
distance between the source and the operator or providing for remote operation of the machinery.

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
ISO 12100-2:2003(E)
measures for the reduction of emission of non-ionizing radiation are given in 5.4.5 (see also EN
12198-1 and –3).
4.3 Taking into account the general technical knowledge regarding machine design
This general technical knowledge can be derived from technical specifications for design (e.g. standards,
design codes, calculation rules). These should be used to cover:
a) mechanical stresses, e.g.:
stress limitation by implementation of correct calculation, construction and fastening methods as
regards, e.g. bolted assemblies, welded assemblies;
stress limitation by overload prevention, (e.g. "fusible" plugs, pressure-limiting valves, breakage
points, torque-limiting devices);
avoiding fatigue in elements under variable stresses (notably cyclic stresses);
static and dynamic balancing of rotating elements;
b) materials and their properties, e.g.:
resistance to corrosion, ageing, abrasion and wear;
hardness, ductility, brittleness;
homogeneity;
toxicity;
flammability.
flammability.
c) emission values for:
noise;
vibration;
hazardous substances;
radiation.
When the reliability of particular components or assemblies is critical for safety (e.g. ropes, chains, lifting
accessories for lifting loads or persons), stress values shall be multiplied by appropriate working coefficients.
4.4 Choice of an appropriate technology
One or more hazards can be eliminated or risks reduced by the choice of the technology to be used in certain
applications, e.g.:
a) on machines intended for use in explosive atmospheres:
fully pneumatic or hydraulic control system and machine actuators;
"intrinsically safe" electrical equipment (see EN 50020);
© ISO 2003 – All rights reserved 3
---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
ISO 12100-2:2003(E)
b) for particular products to be processed such as a solvent: equipment assuring that the temperature will
remain far below the flash point .
c) alternative equipment to avoid high noise level, e.g.:
electrical instead of pneumatic equipment;
in certain conditions, water cutting instead of mechanical equipment.
4.5 Applying the principle of the positive mechanical action of a component on another
component
If a moving mechanical component inevitably moves another component along with it, either by direct contact
or via rigid elements, these components are connected in the positive mode. An example of this is positive
opening operation of switching devices in an electrical circuit (see IEC 60947-5–1 and ISO 14119:1998, 5.7).
NOTE Where a mechanical component moves and thus allows another one to move freely (e.g. by gravity, by spring
force), there is no positive mechanical action of the first one on the other one.
4.6 Provisions for stability
Machines shall be designed to have sufficient stability to allow them to be used safely in their specified
conditions of use.
Factors to be taken into account include:
geometry of the base;
weight distribution, including loading;
dynamic forces due to movements of parts of the machine, of the machine itself, or of elements held by
the machine which may result in an overturning moment;
vibration;
oscillations of the centre of gravity;
characteristics of the supporting surface in case of travelling or installation on different sites (e.g. ground
conditions, slope);
external forces (e.g. wind pressure, manual forces).
Stability shall be considered in all phases of the life of the machine, including handling, travelling, installation,
use, de-commissioning and dismantling.
Other protective measures for stability relevant to safeguarding are given in 5.2.6.
4.7 Provisions for maintainability
When designing a machine, the following maintainability factors shall be taken into account:
accessibility, taking into account the environment and the human body measurements, including the
dimensions of the working clothes and tools used;
ease of handling, taking into account human capabilities;
limitation of the number of special tools and equipment.

ISO 12100-2:2003(E)
4.8 Observing ergonomic principles
4.8.1 Ergonomic principles shall be taken into account in designing machinery to reduce mental or physical
stress and strain of the operator. These principles shall be considered when allocating functions to operator
and machine (degree of automation) in the basic design.
NOTE It also improves the performance and reliability of the operation and hence it reduces the probability of errors
at all stages of machine use.
Account shall be taken of body sizes likely to be found in the intended user population, strengths and postures,
movement amplitudes, frequency of cyclic actions (see ISO 10075 and ISO 10075-2).
All elements of the "operator-machine" interface such as controls, signalling or data display elements, shall be
designed to be easily understood so that clear and unambiguous interaction between the operator and the
machine is possible.
(See EN 614-1, ISO 6385, EN 13861 and IEC 61310-1).
Designers' attention is especially drawn to following ergonomic aspects of machine design:
4.8.2 Avoiding stressful postures and movements during use of the machine (e.g. by providing facilities to
adjust the machine to suit the various operators).
4.8.3 Designing machines, and more especially hand-held and mobile machines to enable them to be
operated easily taking into account human effort, actuation of controls and hand, arm and leg anatomy.
4.8.4 Avoiding as far as possible noise, vibration, thermal effects (e.g. extreme temperatures).
4.8.5 Avoiding linking the operator's working rhythm to an automatic succession of cycles.
4.8.6 Providing local lighting on or in the machine for the illumination of the working area and of adjusting,
setting-up, and frequent maintenance zones when the design features of the machine and/or its guards render
the ambient lighting inadequate. Flicker, dazzling, shadows and stroboscopic effects shall be avoided if they
can cause a risk. If the position of the lighting source has to be adjusted, its location shall be such that it does
not cause any risk to persons making the adjustment.
4.8.7 Selecting, locating and identifying manual controls (actuators) so that:
they are clearly visible and identifiable and appropriately marked where necessary (see 5.4);
they can be safely operated without hesitation or loss of time and without ambiguity (e.g. a standard
layout of controls reduces the possibility of error when an operator changes from a machine to another
one of similar type having the same pattern of operation);
their location (for push-buttons) and their movement (for levers and handwheels) are consistent with their
effect (see IEC 61310-3);
their operation cannot cause additional risk.
See also EN 894-3.
Where a control is designed and constructed to perform several different actions, namely where there is no
one-to-one correspondence (e.g. keyboards), the action to be performed shall be clearly displayed and
subject to confirmation where necessary.
Controls shall be so arranged that their layout, travel and resistance to operation are compatible with the
action to be performed, taking account of ergonomic principles. Constraints due to the necessary or
foreseeable use of personal protective equipment (such as footwear, gloves) shall be taken into account.

ISO 12100-2:2003(E)
4.8.8 Selecting, designing and locating indicators, dials and visual display units so that:
they fit within the parameters and characteristics of human perception;
information displayed can be detected, identified and interpreted conveniently, i.e. long lasting, distinct,
unambiguous and understandable with respect to the operator’s requirements and the intended use;
the operator is able to perceive them from the control position.
