Introduction
The main purpose of this standard is to provide designers with an overall framework and decision-making guides that enable machinery to be designed at the development stage.
Use a safe machine in the range. This standard also provides a strategy for standard setters to develop consistent and appropriate Class B Standard and Class C standards.
The concept of mechanical safety takes into account the ability of the machine to perform its intended function during its life cycle after the risk has been sufficiently reduced.
This standard is the basic standard for all standards in the mechanical safety standard system. The structure of the mechanical safety standard system is as follows.
--- Class A standard (Basic Safety Standard), giving basic concepts, design principles and general characteristics applicable to all machines.
---Class B (General Safety Standard), a type of safety device that covers a safety feature of a machine or has a wide range of use;
- Class B1, specific safety features (such as safety distance, surface temperature, noise) standards;
- Class B2, standard for safety devices (such as two-hand control devices, interlock devices, pressure sensitive devices, and protective devices).
--- Class C (Mechanical Safety Standard), a standard that specifies detailed safety requirements for a particular machine or group of machines. This standard is a Class A standard.
When the content of the C standard is inconsistent with one or more technical provisions of this standard or other Class B standards, the technology of the C standard The regulations are subject to the rules.
It is recommended that this standard be incorporated into a training course or manual so that the designer can master the basic terminology and general design methodology.
When drafting this standard, we have referred to the contents of GB/T 20000.4 as much as possible.

3.35 Common cause failure
Failure of different products caused by a single event, these failures are not mutually causal.
Note: Common cause failure should not be confused with common mode failure. [IEV191-04-23]
3.36 Common mode failure
Products that are characterized by the same failure mode fail.
Note: Since common mode failure may be caused by different reasons, it is not appropriate to confuse common mode failure with common cause failure. [IEV191-04-24]

3.41 Emission value
A value obtained by quantifying emissions (such as noise, vibration, harmful substances, and radiation) generated by the machine.
Note 1. The emission value is part of the machine performance information and is the basic data for risk assessment.
Note 2. The term "emission value" cannot be confused with the "exposure value". Exposure value is the quantification of the extent to which personnel are exposed to emissions during machine use. Exposure Values can be estimated using emission values.
Note 3. It is recommended to use standard methods (such as comparing with similar machines) to determine emission values and their accompanying uncertainties.
3.42 Comparable emissions data comparativeemissiondata
A set of emission value data collected from a similar machine for comparison.
Note: For comparison of noise, see GB/T 22156.
4 Risk assessment and risk reduction strategies
In order to complete the risk assessment and risk reduction, the designer should take the measures in the following order (see Figure 1).
a) determine various limitations of the machine, including intended use and any misunderstanding that is reasonably foreseeable;
b) identify the hazard and its accompanying dangerous state;
c) risk assessment of each identified hazard and hazard state;
d) assess the risk and decide whether it is necessary to reduce the risk;
e) Take protective measures to eliminate the risk or reduce the risk associated with the danger.
Measures a) to d) are related to risk assessment and e) are associated with reduced risk. […]
