Division 1.4.3 Special requirements for protective devices

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Protective devices must be designed and incorporated into the control system in such a way that:

  • moving parts cannot start up while they are within the operator's reach,

  • persons cannot reach moving parts while the parts are moving, and

  • the absence or failure of one of their components prevents starting or stops the moving parts.

Protective devices must be adjustable only by means of an intentional action.
