ISO 14120 Safety Guarding Testing for Machines in Factories
The ISO 14120 series of standards is a cornerstone in ensuring the safety and protection against mechanical hazards in industrial environments. This standard primarily focuses on the design, installation, and assessment of protective devices used to safeguard personnel from potential risks associated with machinery operation.
The scope of this service encompasses comprehensive testing that evaluates whether the protective systems installed around machines comply with the stringent requirements outlined by ISO 14120. Our team of experts meticulously examines various aspects including but not limited to, the physical integrity of guard structures, their robustness under dynamic forces, and the ease with which they can be accessed for maintenance without compromising safety.
In the industrial manufacturing sector, compliance with such standards is crucial for maintaining a safe working environment. Factories often employ complex machinery that poses significant risks if not properly safeguarded. By adhering to ISO 14120 guidelines during design and installation stages, manufacturers significantly reduce incidents of injury or fatality caused by unintended contact with moving parts.
Our laboratory utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and follows internationally recognized protocols when conducting these tests. This ensures that every aspect of your machinery's safeguarding is rigorously scrutinized against established criteria ensuring both accuracy and reliability in our findings.
