Machinery and CE Marking – Day 2
Programme – Day 2 • Low Voltage Directive
• Pressure Equipment Directives
• A Type Standard - BS EN ISO 12100 – Dangerous Parts and Hazards of Machinery
– Life Cycle Task Identification
• Example B Type Standards, eg – Anthropometrics (BS EN ISO 14738)
– Human Body Measurement (EN 547)
– Means of Access to machinery (ISO 14122)
– Size of Openings BS EN 13857
– Control Systems (BS EN 13849)
• Example C Type Standards, eg – BS EN 13128 – Milling machines
• Modified and Composite Assemblies
• Information to End Users
EU Guidance – Points to Note
• In general, the Machinery Directive does not apply to the placing on the market of used or second-hand machinery.
– Except machinery that was first made available with a view to distribution or use outside the EU, when it is subsequently placed on the market or put into service for the first time in the EU.
2
EU Guidance – Points to Note
• Once the reference of a harmonised standard has been published in the OJEU, its application confers a presumption of conformity with EHSRs covered.
• “date of cessation” given for superseded standards
• During transition either standards confer presumption
EU Guidance – Points to Note
• Where a standard is referred by a normative reference in a EU harmonised standard, the specifications of the standard referred to become part of the harmonised standard and their application confers a presumption of conformity with the EHSRs covered.
• This remains true, even if the standard referred to is no longer in force.
• The application of the latest version of the standard also confers a presumption of conformity
EU Guidance – Points to Note
• When a manufacturer chooses not to apply harmonised standards or to apply only parts of a harmonised standard, he must include in the technical file the risk assessment undertaken and the steps taken to comply with the EHSRs.
• In such a case, the reference of the harmonised standard should not be listed in the Declaration of Conformity
• But the Declaration may indicate which parts or clauses of a harmonised standard have been applied.

HSE Guidance – Point to Note
–Prior to the introduction to European product safety Directives, with supporting transposed harmonised standards, many products met National standards. In the UK for machinery we had a long standing comprehensive British Standard BS 5304 Code of practice for the safety of machinery.
HSE Guidance – Point to Note
–But any standards in conflict with or superseded by European standards have had to be withdrawn, including BS 5304: 1988 as it was superseded by various European standards which apply to new machinery.
HSE Guidance – Point to Note
– However, much old existing machinery is still in use for which the new European standards can't be retrospectively applied, and so for this situation the text of BS 5304 (with some updating) was republished as Published Document PD 5304:2014 Guidance on safe use of machinery.
4
HSE Guidance – Point to Note
– So, for pre Machinery Directive equipment (that is put into use before 1995) this remains the guide to what is considered reasonably practicable for the safety of machinery.

• The provision of jigs, holders, push-sticks or similar protection appliances where it is practicable to do so,
AND
Training, Information, Instruction and supervision as is necessary
Machine Guarding Hierarchy
Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008
• Guards or protective devices designed to protect against risks arising from moving parts must be selected on the basis of the type of risk. The following guidelines must be used to help to make the choice.
Choice of Protection against Moving Parts
• Supply of Machinery Regulations 2008
– Annex I – EHSRs – 1.3.8
• Transmission parts – Fixed, or
– Interlocked
• Interlocks used where frequent access is envisaged
31
Choice of Protection against Moving Parts
• Supply of Machinery Regulations 2008 – Annex I – EHSRs – 1.3.8
• Moving parts involved in the process – Fixed, or
– Interlocked, or
– Protective devices, or
– A combination of the above
• Where process moving parts cannot be made inaccessible due to required operator intervention, then – Fixed, interlocked or adjustable guards shall be used to
prevent access to those parts that are not needed in the work.

Guarding Types
• BS EN ISO 12100
– Fixed guard
• guard affixed in such a manner (e.g. by screws, nuts, welding) that it can only be opened or removed by the use of tools or destruction of the affixing means
Guarding Types
• Supply of Machinery Regulations 2008 – Annex I – EHSRs – 1.4.2
• Fixed guard – Fixed guards must be fixed by systems that can be opened or
removed only with tools.
– Their fixing systems must remain attached to the guards or to the machinery when the guards are removed.
– Where possible, guards must be incapable of remaining in place without their fixings
• (See BS EN 953)
Guarding Types
• BS EN ISO 12100 – Moveable Guard
• guard which can be opened without the use of tools
– Adjustable Guard • fixed or movable guard which is adjustable as a whole or which
incorporates adjustable part(s). The adjustment remains fixed during a particular operation
– Supply of Machinery Regulations 2008 refer only to Adjustable Guards the definition of which combines the above 2 requirements.
33
Guarding Types
• BS EN ISO 12100 – Interlocking Guard
• guard associated with an interlocking device so that, together with the control system of the machine, the – following functions are performed:
» the hazardous machine functions "covered" by the guard cannot operate until the guard is closed;
» if the guard is opened while hazardous machine functions are operating, a stop command is given;
» when the guard is closed, the hazardous machine functions "covered" by the guard can operate. The closure of the guard does not by itself start the hazardous machine function.
