Overview

This standard specifies relevant requirements of Annex I of the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC for machines placed on the market for the first time in the European Economic Area (EEA) in order to facilitate the demonstration of conformity with these requirements. This standard specifies functional requirements and design principles for the emergency stop function on machinery, independent of the type of energy used. It does not deal with functions such as reversal or limitation of motion, deflection, shielding, braking or disconnecting, which can be part of the emergency stop function. The requirements for the realization of the emergency stop function based on electrical/electronic technology are described in IEC 60204 1. This standard incorporates the German version of EN ISO 13850:2015 prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 199 "Safety of Machinery" in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 114 "Safety of Machinery" at the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). The national interests during the preparation of this standard were represented by Committee NA 060-48-02 AA "Not-Halt" ("Emergency stop") at DIN Standards Committee Mechanical Engineering (NAM). Representatives of manufacturers and users of machinery, and of the employers' liability insurance associations contributed to this standard.
