Описание (английский):

ISO 13854:2017 enables the user (e.g. standard makers, designers of machinery) to avoid hazards from crushing zones. It specifies minimum gaps relative to parts of the human body and is applicable when adequate safety can be achieved by this method. ISO 13854:2017 is applicable to risks from crushing hazards only and is not applicable to other possible hazards, e.g. impact, shearing, drawing-in. NOTE For impact, shearing, drawing-in hazards, additional or other measures are to be taken.

Overview

ISO 13854:2017, titled Safety of machinery - Minimum gaps to avoid crushing of parts of the human body, is an international standard published by ISO that focuses on preventing crushing hazards in machinery. This standard specifies the minimum gaps or clearances required between machine parts to ensure that various parts of the human body are not subjected to crushing injuries. Its primary objective is to guide manufacturers, designers, and standard makers in applying effective mechanical safety measures when adequate protection can be achieved through controlling minimum gaps.

ISO 13854:2017 addresses crushing hazards only and does not cover other risk types such as impact, shearing, or drawing-in. It is a Type B1 safety standard under ISO 12100, dealing with generic safety aspects applicable across numerous machine types. The standard complements more specific Type C standards that address detailed safety requirements for particular machine categories.

Key Topics

Scope and Application
Focuses on preventing human body part crushing by specifying minimum gap values suitable for different body parts. It applies when safety can be achieved solely by maintaining these minimum clearances.

Risk Identification and Assessment
Users must identify crushing hazards and assess them in line with ISO 12100 protocols. Special considerations include unpredictable behavior of children, anthropometric variations across different ethnic groups, use of protective clothing, tools, and footwear that may affect interaction with machinery.

Minimum Gap Values
The standard provides a clear table of minimum gap dimensions for body parts such as:

Entire body: 500 mm
Head (worst-case position): 300 mm
Leg: 180 mm
Foot: 120 mm
Toes: 50 mm
Arm: 120 mm
Hand: 100 mm
Fist: 25 mm
These values serve as benchmarks for the design of machinery guards and safety barriers.

Methodology
ISO 13854:2017 should be used as part of an iterative safety strategy including risk reduction as outlined by ISO 12100. If minimum gaps alone cannot provide sufficient safety, additional protective measures must be implemented.

Protective Structures
It also addresses the use of protective enclosures with restricted openings sized to prevent larger body parts from accessing crushing zones, enhancing safety when full minimum gap clearances cannot be maintained.

Applications

Machine Design and Manufacturing
Engineers and machine manufacturers apply ISO 13854 to design safe machinery frameworks that reduce crushing injury risks by defining adequate space between machine parts.

Safety Standard Development
Standard makers develop new machinery safety standards integrating ISO 13854 requirements, especially when dealing with crushing hazard prevention.

Workplace Safety
Organizations responsible for occupational health and safety use this standard to evaluate mechanical hazards, ensuring protective barriers and clearances align with best practices to protect employees.

Regulatory Compliance
Regulatory bodies reviewing machinery safety may refer to ISO 13854 as a guideline or requirement for minimum protective dimensions, facilitating safer machine operation environments.

Maintenance and Service Providers
Professionals servicing machinery benefit from understanding these minimum clearance requirements to maintain or retrofit equipment safety features adequately.

Summary

ISO 13854:2017 provides clear, practical guidance for minimizing crushing injuries in machinery by specifying minimum gap dimensions tailored to human body parts. Its integration with ISO 12100 and complementary standards like ISO 13857 makes it an essential reference for designers, manufacturers, safety professionals, and regulators aiming to optimize machinery safety. By applying its principles, stakeholders can reduce crush hazard risks effectively while supporting compliance with international safety benchmarks.
