DIN Standards Committee Safety Design Principles

Overview

This standard specifies general requirements for the design and construction of guards used to protect persons from mechanical hazards. It also specifies other hazards that may influence the design and construction of guards. This standard applies to guards for machinery which will be manufactured after it is published. The requirements are applicable if fixed and movable guards are used. This standard does not cover interlocking devices. These are covered in ISO 14119. This standard does not provide requirements for special systems relating specifically to mobility such as ROPS (rollover protective structures), FOPS (falling-object protective structures), and TOPS (tip over protective structures) or to the ability of machinery to lift loads.
