ERMS AND DEFINITIONS
TERM
DEFINITION
PROTECTION DEVICES
Safety measures involving the use of specific technical means called
protection devices (guards, safety devices) to protect persons from
dangers that cannot be reasonably eliminated or sufficiently reduced in
the design of the machine.
GUARD
A part of the machine specifically used to provide protection by the use
of a physical barrier. Depending on how it is made, a guard may be
called a cowling, cover, screen, door or fence etc. Note 1 - A guard may
act: - alone; in which case it is effective only when closed - associated
with a locking device with or without locking the guard; in this case
protection is assured whatever the position of the guard. Note 2 -
«Closed» means, in the case of a fixed guard, «kept in position».
FIXED GUARD
Guard kept in position (i.e. closed), by means of a fastening (screws,
bolts etc.) that make its removal/opening impossible without the use of
tools.
MOBILE GUARD
Guard that is generally mechanically connected to the frame of the
machine or to nearby fixed element (by means for example of hinges or
guides), and that can be opened without the use of tools.
INTERLOCKED MOBILE
GUARD
Guard associated with an interlock device so that :
The machine's
dangerous functions «protected» by the guard cannot be carried out
unless the guard has been closed
−
If the guard is opened during the
unfolding of the machine's dangerous functions, a stop command is
given
−
The closure of the guard permits execution of the machine's
dangerous functions «protected» by the guard but it does not control the
start up.
