Key Benefits:
Article 189 of the Treaty of Rome requires Member States to bring into force the provisions necessary for the implementation of the Community Directives.
on 14 June 1989, the Council of the European Communities adopted Directive 89 /392/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to machinery (published in the Official Journal of the European Communities). European Communities > number L 183 of 29 June 1989), as amended later by Council Directive 91 /368/EEC of 20 June (
Therefore, it is necessary to establish the corresponding internal rules for the adaptation and development of the forecasts of both Directives which, by their very nature, constitute a single set.
On the other hand, Law 21/1992, of 16 July, of Industry, defines the framework in which industrial security has to be developed, establishing the instruments necessary for its implementation, in accordance with the powers that correspond to the different Public Administrations.
In its virtue, on the proposal of the Ministers of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, and of Work and Social Security, in agreement with the Council of State and after deliberation of the Council of Ministers, at its meeting of November 27, 1992,

ANNEX I
Essential health and safety requirements for the design and manufacture of machines
Preliminary Observations
1. The obligations laid down by the essential health and safety requirements shall apply only when the machinery in question, used under the conditions laid down by the manufacturer, presents the relevant hazard. In any case, the requirements 1.1.2, 1.7.3 and 1.7.4 apply to all the machines included in this Royal Decree.
2. The essential health and safety requirements set out in this Annex are mandatory. However, it is possible that, in view of the state of the art, the objectives laid down by those requirements are not met. In such a case, and as far as possible, the machine shall be designed and constructed to approach such objectives.
1. Essential health and safety requirements.
1.1 Generalities.
1.1.1 Definitions.
According to this Annex, it is understood by:
1.
2.
3.
1.1.2 Principles of security integration.
(a) By the same construction, the machinery must be capable of performing its function and its regulation and maintenance without the persons being exposed to any danger when the operations are carried out under the conditions of the provided by the manufacturer.
The measures to be taken must be aimed at eliminating the risks of accidents during the foreseeable life of the machine, including the stages of assembly and dismantling, even if the risks of accidents are foreseeable abnormal situations.
(b) By opting for the most appropriate solutions, the manufacturer shall apply the following principles, in the order indicated:
-Remove or reduce risks as far as possible (integration of safety into the design and manufacture of the machine).
-Adopt protection measures that are necessary against risks that cannot be removed.
-Inform users of residual risks due to the incomplete effectiveness of the protection measures adopted, indicate whether special training is required and to indicate whether an individual protective equipment is necessary.
(c) When designing and manufacturing the machine and when drawing up the instructions, the manufacturer shall provide for not only normal use of the machine but also the use of the machine in a reasonable manner.
When the abnormal use of the machine comes at risk, it must be designed to prevent it from being used abnormally. Where appropriate, the employment instructions shall indicate to the user the counter-indications for the use of the machine which, according to the experience, may be presented.
(d) Under the intended conditions of use, the operator's discomfort, fatigue and psychic stress (stress) shall be minimised, taking into account the ergonomie principles.
e) The manufacturer, in the design and manufacturing stage, shall take into account the inconvenience the operator may suffer from the necessary or foreseeable use of personal protective equipment (e.g. footwear, gloves, etc.).
f) The machine must be delivered with all special and essential equipment or accessories so that it can be regulated, maintained and used without risk.
1.1.3 Materials and Products.
Materials that have been used to manufacture the machines, or the products that have been used and created during their use, shall not cause safety or health risks to the exposed persons.
In particular, when fluids are used, the machine shall be designed and constructed so that it can be used without the occurrence of hazards caused by filling, use, recovery and evacuation.
1.1.4 Lighting.
The manufacturer will provide a built-in lighting, adapted to operations, in cases where, despite the presence of an ambient lighting of a normal value, the absence of such a device could create a danger.
The manufacturer shall ensure that there are no annoying shadow areas, no annoying glare, no hazardous strobe effects due to the lighting provided by the manufacturer.
If some internal organs were to be inspected frequently, they will carry the appropriate lighting devices, the same will be true for the areas of regulation and maintenance.
1.1.5 Design of the machine with a view to its handling.
The machine or each of its different elements:
-Can be handled safely.
-It will be packed or designed so that it can be stored without deterioration or hazards (e.g. sufficient stability, special supports, etc.).
When the weight, size or shape of the machine or its different elements does not allow for manual displacement, the machine or each of its different elements shall:
-carry accessories that make it possible for a lift to be taken up,
-or be designed in such a way as to provide it with such accessories (e.g. threaded holes),
or have such a way that the normal lifting means can be easily adapted.
When the machine or one of its elements is manually transported, it must:
-be easily scrollable,
-or carry means of apprehension (for example, handles, etc.) with which you can move safely.
Specific provisions shall be laid down for the handling of tools and/or parts of machines, however light they may be, which may be dangerous (form, material, etc.).
1.2 Command.
1.2.1 Security and reliability of command systems.
Command systems should be designed and manufactured to be safe and reliable in order to avoid any dangerous situation. In particular, they shall be designed and constructed in a manner:
-to resist normal service conditions and external influences;
-that no dangerous situations occur, in case of error, in the logic in the maneuvers.
1.2.2 Drive organs.
Actuation organs:
-They will be clearly visible and identifiable and, if necessary, properly marked,
-Be placed in such a way that it can be safely maneuvered, without hesitation or loss of time and unambiguously,
-They shall be designed in such a way that the movement of the actuation organ is consistent with the ordered effect,
-Be placed outside the hazardous areas except, if necessary, certain organs, such as an emergency stop, a learning console for robots, etc.,
-They will be positioned so that their maneuver will not carry additional hazards,
-They shall be designed or protected in such a way that the desired effect, when likely to carry a hazard, cannot be produced without intentional manoeuvre,
-They will be manufactured in such a way as to resist foreseeable efforts; special attention will be given to emergency stop devices that may be subject to major efforts.
When a drive body is designed and designed to perform several different actions, that is, when its action is not univocal (e.g., use of keyboards, etc.), the ordered action must be displayed in a manner clear and, if necessary, require confirmation.
The actuation organs will have a configuration such that their layout, travel and resistant effort are compatible with the ordered action, taking into account the ergonomic principles. Any inconvenience caused by the use, necessary or foreseeable, of personal protective equipment (e.g. footwear, gloves, etc.) must be taken into account.
The machine must be equipped with signalling devices (indicators, signals, etc.), and with the necessary indications so that it can operate safely. From the command post, the operator must be able to warn the indications of such devices.
From the main command post, the operator must be in a position to ensure that no person is exposed in the hazardous areas.
If this is impossible, the control system must be designed and constructed in such a way that any start-up is preceded by a sound and/or visual warning signal. The exposed person must have the time and means to quickly oppose the start of the machine.
1.2.3 Puesta en gait.
The start-up of a machine should only be carried out by means of voluntary action on an operating organ provided for this purpose.
This requirement will also apply:
-Start up again after a stop, whatever the cause of the stop;
-To the order of a major modification of operating conditions (e.g. speed, pressure, etc.);
-Except if such start-up after a stop or the modification of the operating conditions does not present any risk to the exposed persons.
The start up after a stop or the modification of the operating conditions resulting from the normal sequence of an automatic cycle are not included in this basic requirement.
If a machine has several operating organs for start-up and if therefore operators could put each other in danger, complementary devices should be provided (e.g. validation or selectors which only allow the operation of a start-up organ at the same time) to exclude such danger.
The automatic operation of a new automated installation after a stop must be able to be performed with ease, once the safety conditions have been met.
1.2.4 Stop device.
Normal stop.
Each machine shall be equipped with an operating organ that allows
your total stop in safe conditions.
Each job will be provided with an operating organ that allows to stop, depending on the existing hazards, either all the movable elements of the machine, or a part of them only, so that the machine is in a security situation. The stop order of the machine will take precedence over the commissioning orders. Once the machine or its hazardous elements have been stopped, the power supply of the actuators shall be interrupted.
Emergency stop.
Each machine shall be equipped with one or more emergency stop devices by means of which dangerous situations which may occur imminently or which are occurring may be avoided. Excluded from this obligation are:
-Machines in which the emergency stop device cannot reduce the risk, either because it does not reduce the time to obtain the normal stop or because it does not allow the adoption of the particular measures required by the risk;
-Portable machines and hand-guided machines.
This device should:
-Have identifiable, highly visible, and rapidly accessible drive organs;
-Cause the dangerous process to stop in the shortest possible time, without creating new hazards;
-Eventually, trigger or allow certain protection moves to be triggered.
The emergency stop organ must be locked; it can only be unlocked with a proper maneuver; this unlock must not put the machine back on track, but only allow it to be rebooted; it will not be able to trigger the stop function before it is in its blocking position.
Complex installations.
In the case of machines or machinery elements designed to operate in solidarity, the manufacturer shall design and manufacture so that the stopping devices, including the emergency stop, can stop not only the machinery, but also all equipment located before or after, if the fact that they continue to operate could constitute a hazard.
1.2.5 March Mode Selector.
The selected command mode will take precedence over all other command systems, except for the emergency stop.
If the machine has been designed and manufactured so that it can be used according to various control or operating modes with different levels of safety (e.g. to allow regulation, maintenance, inspection, etc.), carry a mode selector that can be interlocked in each position. Each of the selector positions shall only correspond to a single mode of control or operation.
The selector may be replaced by other means of selection with which the use of certain functions of the machine may be restricted to certain categories of operators (for example: Codes of access to certain categories). numerical control functions, etc.).
If, in certain operations, the machine must be able to operate with the neutralized protection devices, the gear selector must, at the same time:
-Exclude automatic command mode.
-Authorize movements only by means of organs that require a sustained drive.
-Authorize the operation of dangerous mobile elements only under lower risk conditions (e.g. slow speed, reduced effort, pulse gear or other appropriate provisions) and avoid any danger derived from a succession of sequences.
-Prohibit any movement that may be dangerous by acting on a voluntary or involuntary basis over the internal detectors of the machine.
In addition, in the setting position, the operator must be able to master the operation of the elements on which it is acting.
1.2.6 Failure in power supply.
The interruption, the reset after an interruption or the variation, in the sense that it is, of the power supply of the machine will not cause dangerous situations.
In particular, it should not occur:
-not a bad start.
-not an impediment to stopping the machine if the order has already been given.
-neither the drop or projection of any movable element of the machine or any piece fastened by it.
-not an impediment to the automatic or manual stop of the mobile elements, whatever these are.
-and the ineffectiveness of protection devices.
1.2.7 Command circuit failure.
Do not create dangerous situations for defects affecting the logic of the control circuit, failure or failure of the control circuit, failure or failure of the control circuit.
In particular, it should not occur:
-not a bad start.
-not an impediment to stopping the machine if the order has already been given.
-neither the drop or projection of any movable element of the machine or any piece fastened by it.
-not an impediment to the automatic or manual stop of the mobile elements, whatever these are.
-and the ineffectiveness of protection devices.
1.2.8 Programs.
The dialogue programmes between the operator and the control or control system of a machine shall be designed interactively.
1.3 Safety measures against mechanical hazards.
1.3.1 Stability.
The machine, as well as its elements and equipment, shall be designed and constructed so that, under the intended operating conditions (taking into account, where appropriate, the climatic conditions), it shall have sufficient stability to enable it to be used without danger of flying, falling or moving in an unweatherable manner.
If the machine's own shape or the intended installation does not allow sufficient stability to be ensured, appropriate means of attachment must be provided, which shall be indicated in the instructions.
1.3.2 Danger of break in service.
Both the parts of the machine and the joints between them will have to be able to resist the efforts to which they are subjected during the intended use by the manufacturer.
The materials used shall have sufficient resistance, adapted to the characteristics of the environment of use provided by the manufacturer, in particular with regard to the phenomena of fatigue, ageing, corrosion, abrasion.
The manufacturer shall indicate in the instructions the types and frequency of inspections and maintenance necessary for safety reasons. Where appropriate, it shall indicate the parts which may be worn and the criteria for replacement.
If, in spite of the precautions taken, the hazards of bursting or breakage (in the case and the grinds, for example), persist, the affected mobile elements will be mounted and arranged so that, in the event of breakage, retain their fragments.
Rigid or flexible conduits that circulate fluids, especially at high pressure, will have to be able to withstand the intended internal and external efforts; they will be solidly subject and/or will be protected against aggression All types of external action shall be taken to ensure that, in the event of a break, they cannot cause hazards (sudden movements, high pressure jets, etc.).
In case of automatic advancement of the material to be worked towards the tool, the following conditions must be given to avoid risks to the exposed persons (e.g.: break of the tool):
-when the tool and part come into contact, the tool will need to have reached its normal working conditions.
-at the time the start up and/or the tool stop (voluntarily or accidentally) occurs, the movement of the tool and the movement of the tool must be coordinated.
1.3.3 Drop and Projection Hazards.
Precautions should be taken to prevent falls or projections of objects (machined parts, tools, chips, fragments, debris, etc.) that may present a hazard.
1.3.4 Hazards due to surfaces, edges, angles.
The elements of the machine which are accessible shall not, in so far as their function permits, show any sharp edges or angles or rough surfaces which may cause injury.
1.3.5 Hazards relative to the combined machines.
When the machine is intended to be able to perform several different operations in which the piece is to be taken with the hands between operation and operation (combined machine), it will be designed and constructed so that each element can be used separately without the remaining elements constituting danger or discomfort for the exposed person.
To this end, each of the elements, if not protected, must be able to be put in place or stand individually.
1.3.6 Hazards relative to the rotation speed variations of the tools.
When the machine has been designed to perform operations under different conditions of use (e.g. in the field of speed and power) it must be designed and constructed in such a way that the choice and the such conditions can be performed safely and reliably.
1.3.7 Prevention of hazards related to mobile elements.
The machine's movable elements shall be designed, constructed and arranged in order to avoid any danger, or where the danger remains shall be equipped with guards or protective devices so that any risk is eliminated. of contact which may cause accidents.
All necessary arrangements must be made to prevent the unexpected blocking of mobile work items. Where the possibility of a block remains in spite of the precautions taken, the manufacturer shall provide specific means of protection, specific tools, particulars in the instruction manual and, where appropriate, an indication The invention relates to a machine which can be unlocked without any danger.
1.3.8 Choice of protection against hazards related to mobile elements.
Guards or protective devices that are used to protect against hazards relating to mobile elements shall be chosen according to the existing risk. The following information must be used to make the choice:
A) Mobile transmission elements.
