Safety Requirements for Packaging and Processing Machinery
This standard specifies basic terminology, principles and a methodology for achieving safety in the design and the use of machinery. It specifies principles of the iterative process of risk assessment and risk reduction to help designers, integrators and users of machinery in achieving this objective. These principles are based on knowledge and experience of the design, use, incidents, accidents and risks associated with machinery. Procedures are described for identifying hazards and estimating and evaluating risks during relevant phases of the machine lifecycle, and for the elimination of hazards or the provision of sufficient risk reduction. Guidance is given regarding the documentation of the risk assessment process.
Informative Note 1: As used in this standard, ‘machinery’ includes individual machines and machinery systems, for both packaging and processing machinery as defined in clause 3. The requirements of this standard apply to new, modified or rebuilt industrial and commercial:Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute [pmmi]
