Free guide to guarding standards - Procter publishes 8th edition
An updated free guide to guarding standards has been published by Procter Machine Guarding. The 8th edition of 'On Your Guard - A Designer's Guide to Machinery Guarding Standards' reflects recent changes to standards, including one of the key machinery safety standards, EN ISO 12100:2010 (Safety of machinery. General principles for design. Risk assessment and risk reduction), which combines the previous versions of EN ISO 12100 and EN ISO 14121-1.
At the heart of the free guide to guarding standards is an extensive table of British, European and International standards relating to machine guarding; this table has been revised to reflect the numerous recent changes. Further changes in the eighth edition of the guide include updated lists of useful resources and sources of further information.
This latest edition of the guide retains the important background information about the current machinery safety regulations and their relationship with the European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, together with that Directive's new requirements relating to CE marking of machine guards and machinery in general.
