DIN EN 12198-1:2008-11

Start of validity
This standard takes effect on 1 November 2008.
DIN EN 12198-1:2000-10 may be used in parallel until 28 December 2009.
National foreword
This standard includes safety requirements within the meaning of the Geräte- und Produktsicherheitsgesetz
(GPSG) (German Equipment and Consumer Goods Safety Law) and in connection with European legislation
(EC Machinery Directive), which has been implemented by national legislation.
This standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 114 “Safety of Machinery” (Secretariat:
DIN, Germany) in connection with the amended EC Machinery Directive.
The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschuss Sicherheitstechnische
Grundsätze (Safety Design Principles Standards Committee), Section 1 Sicherheitstechnik.
This standard concretizes the basic requirements set out in Annex I of the EU Machinery Directive 98/37/EC
(valid until 28 December 2009) and the new EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC which becomes applicable
on 29 December 2009 relating to machinery to be placed on the EEA market, with the intent of simplifying the
means of proving conformity with such requirements.
Once this standard is designated a harmonized standard in the Official Journal of the European Union, a
manufacturer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of the Machinery
Directive (the so-called “presumption of conformity”).
Amendments
This standard differs from DIN EN 12198-1:2000-10 as follows:
a) The French title (main element) has been corrected.
b) Inclusion of Annex ZB (informative) “Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential
Requirements of EU Directive 2006/42/EC”.

Introduction
Machinery supplied by electrical power or containing radiation sources may emit radiation or generate electric
and/or magnetic fields. The radiation emissions and fields will vary in frequency and magnitude.
The European Machinery Directive requires precautions to avoid or reduce risks caused by the emission of
radiation from a machine. Machinery must be so designed and constructed that any emission of radiation is limited
to the extent necessary for its operation and that the effects on exposed persons are non-existent or reduced to
non-dangerous proportions (EN 292-2:1991/A1:1995).
To assess the risk of injury caused by radiation emissions and fields from a machine it is necessary to know the
type of radiation emission, the level of the emission and the intensity of this emission with respect to possible
adverse health effects.
This European Standard is intended to give manufacturers and type C-standards makers advice on how to identify
radiation emissions from machinery, how to decide on their magnitude and significance, how to assess the risks
and what means could be used to avoid or reduce the radiation emissions from machines.
This European Standard reflects the general principles for the identification and the assessment of radiation
emission by machinery. Details of the measurement of the radiation emission will be given in part 2 of this
standard. Part 3 of this standard will contain details of protective measures for avoiding or reducing radiation
exposure of persons by reducing emissions and requiring the provision of information.
Radiation emitted by machinery may be intended for processing or may occur unintentionally. Clause 7 of this
standard requires, that the manufacturer shall assign the machine to a design radiation emission category. For
undesirable radiation emission the emission level should be reduced to values corresponding to category 0.
Functional radiation emission shall be limited to the necessary degree for the operation of the machine.
The remaining emission levels shall be assessed and an emission category shall be determined. If necessary
protective measures will have to be applied.
This European Standard is a standard of B1-type in a series of standards for the safety of machinery.

1 Scope
This standard deals with the emission of radiation from machinery. This European Standard gives advice to
manufacturers for the construction of safe machinery, if no relevant C-type standard exists. This radiation emission
may be functional for processing or may be undesirable.
The issues of electromagnetic compatibility are not addressed in the standard.
This European Standard is intended to give advice to C-type standardization groups, on how to identify radiation
emissions or fields1, how to determine their significance and intensity, how to assess the possible risks and what
means may be used to avoid or reduce radiation emissions. This advice should be elaborated in C-type standards
for specific classes of machines as assessable requirements.
This standard deals with the emission of all types of electromagnetic non-ionizing radiation.
Ionizing radiation may be dealt with in other documents or in the future revisions.
This standard does not deal with the emission of laser radiation.
Radiation sources fixed to a machine which are used only for lighting are excluded from the scope of this standard.
This standard applies to machinery as defined in clause 3.1 of EN 292-1:1991.
2 Normative references
This European Standard is incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the following definitions apply in addition to the definitions given in
EN 1070, and in IEC 60050-845:
3.1
functional radiation emission
emission of radiation by a machine needed for its function in the process area
NOTE An example of functional radiation emission is a radiation beam used for thickness gauging.
3.2
undesirable radiation emission
all radiation emissions, other than functional radiation emissions emitted to any points outside the process area
NOTE An example of an undesirable radiation emission is the leakage radiation from a printing machine, in which the
printing inks are cured by ultraviolet radiation.
3.3
trivial radiation emission
radiation emissions and fields, the intensity
