Safety of machinery - Guidance for the application of ergonomics standards in the design of machinery

This European standard provides a methodology to achieve a coherent application of various ergonomics standards for the design of machinery. This standard presents a step model calling upon specific standards. This standard can only be used in combination with other relevant ergonomics standards.
This European standard provides guidance where no relevant or suitable ergonomics clauses in C-type standards are available.
This European standard may also be used for incorporating ergonomics in the drafting of C-type standards.

Sicherheit von Maschinen - Leitfaden für die Anwendung von Ergonomie-Normen bei der Gestaltung von Maschinen

Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt eine Methodologie, mit der eine einheitliche Anwendung verschiedener Ergonomie-Normen bei der Gestaltung von Maschinen erreicht werden kann. Diese Norm erläutert ein schrittweises Modell, das auf spezielle Normen verweist. Sie kann nur in Verbindung mit anderen relevanten Ergonomie-Normen Anwendung finden.
Diese Europäische Norm stellt einen Leitfaden zur Verfügung, falls keine entsprechenden oder geeigneten Ergonomie-Abschnitte in Typ-C-Normen gegeben sind.
Diese Europäische Norm kann darüber hinaus zur Berücksichtigung der Ergonomie bei der Erarbeitung von Typ-C-Normen herangezogen werden.

Sécurité des machines - Guide pour l' application des normes relatives à l'ergonomie dans la conception des machines

La présente Norme européenne fournit une méthodologie permettant d'aboutir à une application cohérente des diverses normes relatives à l'ergonomie, pour la conception des machines. La présente norme présente un modèle par étapes s'appuyant sur des normes spécifiques. La présente norme ne peut être utilisée qu'en combinaison avec d'autres normes applicables relatives à l'ergonomie.
La présente Norme européenne fournit un guide lorsque les normes de type C ne comportent pas d'articles applicables ou adéquats relatifs à l'ergonomie.
La présente norme européenne peut également être utilisée pour introduire l'ergonomie dans l'élaboration des normes de type C.
