Personnel safety and machine protection Risk category according to EN 954 1 Classification of a machine into categories to EN 954 1 Pursuant to the Machinery Directive 89 393 EEC every machine must comply with the relevant directives and standards Measures must be taken to keep the risk to persons below a tolerable extent In the first step the project planner performs a risk evaluation to EN 1050 Risk Assessment This must take into consideration the machine s ambient conditions for instance Any overall risk must then be assessed This risk assessment must be conducted in such a form as to allow documentation of the procedure and the results achieved The risks dangers and possible technical measures to reduce risks and dangers must be stipulated in this risk assessment After stipulating the extent of the risk the category on the basis of which the safety circuits are to be designed is determined with the aid of EN 954 1 Safety Related Components of Controls This determined category defines the technical requirements applicable to the design of the safety equipment There are five categories B 1 2 3 and 4 whereby B standing for basic catego ry defines the lowest risk and thus also the minimum requirements applicable to the controller Possible selection of categories pursuant to EN 954 1 Starting point for the risk assessment of the safety related component of the controller S Serious injuries S1 Slight no
