  "text": "The various parts of machinery and their linkages must be able to withstand the stresses to which they are subject when used.\nThe durability of the materials used must be adequate for the nature of the working environment foreseen by the manufacturer or his authorised representative, in particular as regards the phenomena of fatigue, ageing, corrosion and abrasion.\nThe instructions must indicate the type and frequency of inspections and maintenance required for safety reasons. They must, where appropriate, indicate the parts subject to wear and the criteria for replacement.\nWhere a risk of rupture or disintegration remains despite the measures taken, the parts concerned must be mounted, positioned and/or guarded in such a way that any fragments will be contained, preventing hazardous situations.\nBoth rigid and flexible pipes carrying fluids, particularly those under high pressure, must be able to withstand the foreseen internal and external stresses and must be firmly attached and/or protected to ensure that no risk is posed by a rupture.\nWhere the material to be processed is fed to the tool automatically, the following conditions must be fulfilled to avoid risks to persons:\nwhen the workpiece comes into contact with the tool, the latter must have attained its normal working condition,\nwhen the tool starts and/or stops (intentionally or accidentally), the feed movement and the tool movement must be coordinated.",
