This report is suitable for a technical audience (safety engineers, designers, compliance officers).
ISO 13857 is an international standard that provides guidelines for the safety of machinery and specifies requirements for the design and construction of guards and safety devices. iso 13857
Overall, ISO 13857 provides a framework for ensuring the safety of machinery by providing guidelines for the design, construction, and evaluation of guards and protective devices. By implementing this standard, manufacturers can reduce the risk of accidents and injuries, improve safety, and comply with regulatory requirements.
The standard differentiates between high-risk hazards (where serious injury is likely) and low-risk hazards. High-risk zones often require larger safety distances. 3. Practical Applications in Industry By implementing this standard, manufacturers can reduce the
It does apply to:
: If the blades stop within 100 ms, the 200 mm distance ensures that even with a fast hand movement (approx. 1600 mm/s), the hand cannot reach the blade before it stops. But ISO 13857 tables already embed anthropometric + behavior margins. By implementing this standard
Example (extract): | Protective structure height (mm) | Hazard zone height (mm) | Minimum horizontal distance (mm) | |--------------------------------|-------------------------|----------------------------------| | 1000 | 1000 | 600 | | 1400 | 1200 | 400 | | 1800 | 1400 | 150 |
