Safety of machinery - Integral lighting of machines
This document specifies the parameters of integral lighting systems designed to provide illumination in and/or at both stationary and mobile machines to enable the safe use of the machine and the efficient performance of the visual task within and/or at the machine to be carried out by the operator.
This document does not specify lighting systems mounted on the machine to specifically illuminate visual tasks outside the machine. The function and requirements of these systems are specified in the European Standard dealing with the lighting of work places, see EN 12464-1 and EN 12464-2 for further information.
This document does not specify additional requirements for the operation of lighting systems:
- in severe conditions (extreme environmental conditions such as freezer applications, high temperatures, etc.);
- subject to special rules (e.g. explosive atmospheres);
- where the transmittance is reduced by environmental conditions, such as smoke, splashing, etc.
Sicherheit von Maschinen - Maschinenintegrierte Beleuchtung
Dieses Dokument legt die Parameter für integrierte Beleuchtungssysteme fest, die für die Beleuchtung in und/oder an sowohl stationären als auch mobilen Maschinen entworfen sind, um den sicheren Gebrauch der Maschine und die effiziente Durchführung der Sehaufgabe in und/oder an der Maschine durch das Bedienungspersonal zu ermöglichen.
Dieses Dokument spezifiziert keine Beleuchtungssysteme, die an der Maschine montiert sind, um insbesondere Sehaufgaben außerhalb der Maschine zu beleuchten. Die Funktion und die Anforderungen dieser Systeme sind in der Europäischen Norm für die Arbeitsstättenbeleuchtung festgelegt, siehe EN 12464-1 und EN 12464-2 für weitere Informationen.
Dieses Dokument legt keine zusätzlichen Anforderungen für den Betrieb der Beleuchtungssysteme fest:
- unter schwierigen Bedingungen (extreme Umgebungseinflüsse, wie Anwendungen in Kühlaggregaten, bei hohen Temperaturen, usw.);
- bei bestehenden speziellen Vorschriften (z. B. in explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen);
- wenn der Transmissionsgrad durch Umgebungseinflüsse, wie durch Rauch, Spritzer, usw., beeinträchtigt wird.
Sécurité des machines - Éclairage intégré aux machines
Le présent document spécifie les paramètres des systèmes d'éclairage intégré conçus pour fournir l'éclairage dans et/ou sur les machines fixes et mobiles en assurant la sécurité d'utilisation et la bonne exécution de la tâche visuelle dans et/ou sur la machine à effectuer par l’opérateur.
Le présent document ne spécifie pas les systèmes d'éclairage disposés sur les machines, pour éclairer spécifiquement des zones extérieures à la machine où s'effectuent des tâches visuelles. La fonction et les exigences de ces systèmes sont indiquées dans la norme européenne traitant de l'éclairage des lieux de travail, voir l’EN 12464-1 ainsi que dans l’EN 12464-2 pour plus de plus amples informations.
Le présent document ne spécifie pas d'exigences supplémentaires pour le fonctionnement des systèmes d'éclairage :
- dans des conditions difficiles (dans des conditions environnantes extrêmes, telles que des applications pour congélateurs, des températures élevées, etc.) ;
- lorsqu'il est soumis à des règles spécifiques (par exemple des atmosphères explosives) ;
- lorsque le facteur de transmission est réduit par des conditions environnantes telles que la fumée, des éclaboussures, etc.

Introduction
To illuminate visual tasks within and/or at machines integral lighting systems (built in or at machines)
can be required. These integral lighting systems require special characteristics that allow both safe use
and efficient performance of the visual task by the operator during operation and service.
This document is a type-B 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.
In addition, this document is intended for standardization bodies elaborating type-C standards.
The requirements of this document can be supplemented or modified by a type-C standard.
For machines that are covered by the scope of a type-C standard and have been designed and built
according to the requirements of that standard, the requirements of that type-C standard take
precedence.

4 Lighting requirements
4.1 General
When arranging the lighting for machines, ergonomic and lighting-engineering principles shall be taken
into account.
The visual tasks to be carried out in and/or at the machine vary in size, contrast, position and speed of
movement. Thus for adequate vision, the exact lighting condition required shall be determined from
detailed task analysis.
The lighting requirements specified in this document are based on average difficulty of visual tasks,
found in the work space during intended use of the machine (normal operation, abnormal operation,
servicing).
For specific tasks, reference shall be made to the relevant standards on work place lighting (EN 12464-1
and EN 12464-2).
4.2 Illuminance
The required illuminance depends upon the visual task and shall be sufficiently high and uniform as to
enable a safe and comfortable perception of the details of the visual task.
In general a maintained illuminance of at least 500 lx with a minimum uniformity of 0,7 on the task area
shall be provided. If there is more than one task area in or at a machine (e.g. in or at large machines),
each task area shall be considered separately. The immediate surrounding areas shall have a
maintained illuminance of at least 300 lx with a uniformity of at least 0,3.
