Scope

This standard deals with the emission of radiation from machinery. This EN gives advice to manufacturers for the construction of safe machinery, if no relevant C-type standard exists. This radiation emmission may be functional for processing or may be undesirable. The issues of electromagnetic compatibility are not addressed in the standard. This EN is intended to give advice to C-type standardization groups, on how to identify radiation emissions or fields, 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.
