National foreword
This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Technical
Committee MCE/18 and is the English language version of EN 983 : 1996 Safety of
machinery ± Safety requirements for fluid power systems and their components ±
Pneumatics, published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN).
EN 983 was produced as a result of international discussion in which the United
Kingdom took an active part.

English version
This European Standard was approved by CEN on 1996-03-09. CEN members are
bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the
conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard
without any alteration.
Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards
may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any CEN member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German).
A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a
CEN member into its own language and notified to the Central Secretariat has the
same status as the official versions.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Denmark,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands,
Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
