BS EN 414:2000 PDF

Scope: This document specifies requirements for the drafting and presentation of European machinery safety standards and standards for safety components, primarily to achieve consistency and acceptable quality, throughout the programme, of the various standards to be prepared (also to meet the requirements of the Mandate from the European Commission). It also gives requirements on the criteria for the selection of new work items and for procedures to prepare and produce standards in an efficient and effective way. This document gives requirements which are supplementary to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations -Part 3 when this is necessary because of the special requirements of machinery safety standards and standards for safety components. This document applies primarily to the drafting of type C standards. It may also apply to type B standards but the foreseeable variation in the format of these standards prevents general application. When requirements specifically apply to type B standards, this is indicated. This document applies to type B and type C safety standards to be prepared, or in the course of preparation. It does not apply to those standards which have complied with the 1992 edition of this document and have reached stage 41 before issue of this document.
