PNSPO
The harmonized European safety standards have hierarchy:
- Type A standards (fundamental safety standards)
give basic concepts, principles for design and
general aspects that can be applied to all machinery.
- Type B standards (group safety standards) deal with
one safety aspect or one type of safety – related
device that can be used across a wide range of
machinery. A distinction is made between:
-
Type B1 standards on particular safety aspects
(e.g. safety distances, surfaces Temperature, noise).
-
Type B2 standards on safety-related devices
(e.g. two-hand controls, interlocking devices,
pressure sensitive devices, guards).
- Type C standards (machine safety standards)
give detailed safety requirements for a type
C standard.
