Recommendation
Technology is progressing at a tremendous pace, which
is also reflected in changes made to machine concepts.
For this reason, especially when using type C Standards,
they should be checked to ensure that they are up-to-date.
It should also be noted that it is not mandatory to apply
the standard, but instead, the safety objectives must
be achieved.
If there are no harmonized European standards, or they
cannot be applied for specific reasons, then a manufacturer
can apply National Standards. All of the other technical
rules fall under this term of the machinery directive, e.g.
also the accident prevention regulations and standards,
which are not listed in the European Council Journal
(also IEC or ISO standards, which were ratified as EN). By
applying ratified standards, the manufacturer can prove
that recognized state-of-the-art technology was fulfilled.
However, when such standards are applied, this does not
automatically represent a presumption of conformity as
for a harmonized standard.
ANSI B11
The ANSI B11 standards are common standards, which
have been developed by associations - e.g. the Association
for Manufacturing Technology (AMT), National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) and the Robotic Industries
Association (RIA). For more details, visit www.ansi.org
Cooperation between OSHA and ANSI
The ANSI and OSHA memorandum of understanding
allows ANSI to use its technical resources to assist OSHA in
carrying out its responsibilities. Some applicable standards
and guidance follow.
ANSI B11.19 - 2010: Performance criteria for
safeguarding
Standards below are referenced in and are intended to be
used with ANSI B11.19 - 2010: Performance Criteria for
Safeguarding. Standards always are subject to revision;
investigate the possibility of applying the most recent
editions of any standard referenced.
ANSI / NFPA 79 - 2007: Electrical Standard for Industrial
Machinery.
Some standards below are for informative reference and
are included for information only, for full list see pages
9-11 of the ANSI B11.19 - 2010

See the appropriate ANSI B11 machine tool safety standard
for safeguarding selection requirements based on a
specific application. (See examples below.) Selection of
the safeguarding requires task and hazard identification,
and the application of risk assessment and risk reduction
of the total production system. (See ANSI B11.TR3 on risk
assessment and risk reduction).

machine), see ANSI B11-0. Changes in the production

are not limited to tooling changes, addition or removal
