scope:

This standard defines technical principles and specifications and gives provision to help designers and manufaturers in achieving safety in the design of machinery generating risks due to their mobility and/or lifting function excluding the lifting of persons for professional and non-professional purposes. It may also be used for other technical products having similar hazards. This standard in conjunction with EN 292-1 and EN 292-2 can also assist in a preliminary assessment of mobile and lifting (also manually powered) machines with regard to their safety, where there is no relevant type C standard available.
