Procter Machine Safety has released the third edition of its popular white paper on ISO 14120, the international standard for the design and manufacture of machine guards.
Available as a free download, this updated guide is ideal for designers, engineers, and safety professionals involved in machine safety.
ISO 14120 (and BS EN ISO 14120 in the UK) replaced the older EN 953 standard in 2016. However, many engineers are still more familiar with the previous version. This white paper outlines the key differences between the two and explains the implications for machine builders, specifiers, and end users.
The new edition brings the content fully up to date, including references to UKCA marking and designated standards, along with a refreshed layout for easier reading.
By helping users understand and apply ISO 14120, the white paper supports compliance with essential safety requirements under both UKCA and CE marking regimes.
