EN 12417:2001+A2:2009 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 292–1. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence. Machining centres present a wide range of hazards, not least from their wide application as rotating tool, 'stationary' workpiece machine tools, for general purpose cutting of cold metal work material. Protection of operators and other persons from contact with moving cutting tools, especially when being rapidly rotated in the spindle, or being swung from a tool magazine to the spindle during power-operated tool changing, or from contact with fast–moving workpieces, is of great importance. When power–operated mechanisms are provided for workpiece transfer, they can also create hazardous situations during loading/unloading and workpiece alignment or clamping. Total enclosure of the work zone using guards during cutting is practicable for smaller machines. The requirements for access to the work zone of large machines used for the processing of a wide range of workpiece configurations can require that operators are safeguarded by other means (e.g. perimeter fencing, protective devices at the operating position). Pendant controls enable operators to move around the machine, especially large machines, and to view the work zone, the load/aligning, clamping, cutting, or unloading operations, maneuvering the pendant control as they move. The significant hazards covered by this standard are those listed in clause 4. The safety requirements and/or protective measures to prevent or minimize those hazards identified in Table 1 and procedures for verification of these requirements or measures are found in clause 5. The figures in annex C are examples only and are not intended to illustrate the only interpretation of the text. SIST EN 12417:2002+A2:2009

The safety requirements and/or protective measures and information for use contained in clauses 5 and 7 are based on the risk assessment and deal with the identified hazards by either eliminating them or reducing the effects of the risks they generate. 4.2 The risk assessment assumes foreseeable access from all directions, as well as unexpected start–up. Risks to both the operators and other persons who can have access to the hazard zones are identified, taking into account hazards which can occur under various conditions (e.g. commissioning, set–up, production, maintenance, repair, decommissioning) during the life of the machine. The assessment includes an analysis of the effect of failure in the control system. 4.3 In addition, the user of this standard (i.e. the designer, manufacturer, supplier) shall validate that the risk assessment is complete for the machine under consideration with particular attention to:  the intended use of the machine including maintenance, setting and cleaning, and its reasonably foreseeable misuse;  the identification of the significant hazards associated with the machine.

1.1.2.1 General
The work zone shall be enclosed where possible by fixed and/or interlocked movable guards during machining operations. Where enclosure is not reasonably practicable (e.g. due to the size of the workpiece, its geometry, other special characteristics of the machine or its application), operators and other exposed persons shall be safeguarded by a combination of other means (e.g. protected operator position (cabin), perimeter guarding, other protective devices).
Visual inspection, assessment
1.1.2.2 Enclosure Where reasonably practicable, work zone guarding shall be fixed to the structure of the machine (see 3.2.1 of EN 953:1997) (see also guard characteristics below and Figures C.1 – C.4, C.6).
Visual inspection Examination of drawings
1.1.2.3 Alternatives to enclosures Access to the work zone, by the operator, from the normal (fixed) operating position shall be prevented by local guarding (typically forming a cabin - see Figures C.5 and C.7). Access to the cabin shall not require entry into the hazard zone enclosed by perimeter fencing or other protective devices. Where this is not possible because of the machine configuration or other operating constraints, the access route to the operating position shall not require approach to hazardous situations.
