ISO 13854:1996 PDF Download

The ISO 13854:1996 standard serves the purpose of providing guidelines for preventing hazards associated with crushing zones in machinery. The standard aims to aid users, such as standard makers and machinery designers, in implementing measures to mitigate the risk of crushing injuries.

The standard outlines specific minimum gaps that should be maintained between the machinery and the different parts of the human body. This ensures that there is a sufficient distance to prevent any body parts from getting trapped or crushed. The gaps specified in the standard are deemed adequate for achieving the necessary level of safety.

It is important to note that the applicability of this standard is dependent on whether the required level of safety can be achieved
