Machine safety standards giving detailed safety requirements on all significant dangers for a particular machine
or group of machines, e.g. injection molding machines.
The basic health and safety requirements specified in the machinery directive 98/37/EU and other internal market
guidelines are enforced using European standards, wherein a differentiation is made between basic standards (type A),
group standards (type B) and product standards (type C).
Standards for functional
safety
The EU machinery directive 98/37/EU is
binding as a regulation for machine
manufacturers. In particular, the directive
specifies the prerequisites that must be met
before a new machine can be placed on the EU
market. The directive contains important
essential health and safety requirements for
the protection of the users. These must be
taken into account during the development
and design of a machine.
CE marking
Ready-to-use machines and systems must
have CE marking before they can be
placed on the market and operated. Based on
article 95 of the EU agreement, the manufacturer
uses the CE marking to declare that all the relevant
guidelines and specifications of the European Union
(EU) regarding free goods traffic have been adhered
to.
