What is EN ISO 14141-1: 2021 ?

EN ISO 14141-1: 2021 and EN ISO 14123-1: 2021 are both technical standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) respectively. They are designed to ensure the safety of machinery and equipment within industrial settings.

EN ISO 14142-1: 2021, also known as "Safety of machinery - Principles for risk assessment, " is focused on providing guidelines and principles for conducting risk assessments in order to ensure the safety of machinery and equipment. It is intended to help professionals identify potential hazards associated with the design, construction, installation, and use of machinery and take necessary actions to reduce or eliminate those risks.

On the other hand, EN ISO 14123-1: 2021, also known as "Interlocking devices for machinery - Requirements for design, installation, and verification, " is focused on providing guidelines for the design and implementation of interlocking devices associated with guards. It aims to prevent potential accidents or incidents by ensuring that interlocking systems are properly designed and installed.

Both EN ISO 14141-1: 2021 and EN ISO 14123-1: 2021 are widely followed in the field of technical standards as they provide manufacturers, machine builders, and users with appropriate guidance to achieve their objectives. The implementation of these standards is critical in ensuring the safety of machinery and equipment within industrial settings and preventing potential accidents or incidents.
