BS EN ISO 12100:2010 specifies basic terminology, principles and a methodology for achieving safety in the design of machinery. It specifies principles of risk assessment and risk reduction to help designers in achieving this objective. These principles are based on knowledge and experience of the design, use, incidents, accidents and risks associated with machinery. Procedures are described for identifying hazards and estimating and evaluating risks during relevant phases of the machine life cycle, and for the elimination of hazards or the provision of sufficient risk reduction. Guidance is given on the documentation and verification of
the risk assessment and risk reduction process.BS EN ISO 12100:2010 is also intended to be used as a basis for the preparation of type-B or type-C safety standards. It does not deal with risk and/or damage to domestic animals, property or the environment.NOTE 1 Annex B gives, in separate tables, examples of hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events, in order to clarify these concepts and assist the designer in the process of hazard identification.NOTE 2 The practical use of a number of methods for each stage of risk assessment is described in ISO/TR 14121-2.Cross References:IEC 60204-1:2005ISO/IEC Guide 51ISO 447ISO 2972ISO 4413ISO 4414ISO 6385ISO 7000ISO 9355-1ISO 9355-3ISO 10075ISO 10075-2ISO/TR 11688-1ISO 11689ISO 13849-1:2006ISO 13850ISO 13851ISO 13854ISO 13855ISO 13856ISO 13857ISO 14118:2000ISO 14119ISO 14120:2002ISO/TR 14121-2ISO 14122ISO 14122-3ISO 14123-1ISO 14163ISO 15667IEC 60079-11IEC 60204IEC 60335-1IEC 60745-1IEC 60947-5-1IEC 61000-6IEC 61029IEC 61310IEC 61496IEC 61508IEC/TS 62046IEC 62061IEC 62079IEC 60050-191CR 1030-1EN 614-1EN 1299EN 12198-1EN 12198-3EN 138612006/42/ECAll current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
