It is intended that this part of ISO 14122 be used with ISO 14122-1 to give the requirements for steps, stepladders and guard-rails. The ISO 14122 series as a whole is applicable to both stationary and mobile machinery where fixed means of access are necessary. It is intended that this part of ISO 14122 be used with a relevant access-specific part of ISO 14122. The ISO 14122 series as a whole is applicable to both stationary and mobile machinery where fixed means of access are necessary.
Revised EN ISO 14122 standard. In June 2016, the Standard for Safety of Machinery – Permanent means of access to machinery – Part 3: Stairs, stepladders and guard-rails (EN ISO 14122-3:2016) was updated.
ISO 14122-1:2016Abstract Preview
ISO 14122-1:2016 gives general requirements for access to stationary machines and guidance about the correct choice of means of access when necessary access to the stationary machine is not possible directly from the ground level or from a floor.
It is applicable to permanent means of access which are a part of a stationary machine, and also to non-powered adjustable parts (e.g. foldable, slidable) and movable parts of fixed means of access.
NOTE 1 'Fixed' means of access are those mounted in such a manner (for example, by screws, nuts, welding) that they can only be removed by the use of tools.
ISO 14122-1:2016 specifies minimum requirements that also apply when the same means of access is required as the part of the building or civil construction (e.g. working platforms, walkways, ladders) where the machine is installed, on condition that the main function of that part of the construction is to provide a means of access to the machine.
NOTE 2 Where no local regulation or standards exist, this part of ISO 14122 can be used for means of access which are outside the scope of the standard.
It is intended that this part of ISO 14122 be used with a relevant access-specific part of ISO 14122.
The ISO 14122 series as a whole is applicable to both stationary and mobile machinery where fixed means of access are necessary. It is not applicable to powered means of access such as lifts, escalators, or other devices specially designed to lift persons between two levels.
ISO 14122-1:2016 is not applicable to machinery manufactured before the date of its publication.
For the significant hazards covered by this part of ISO 14122, see Clause 4.

Procter's new ISO 14122 White Paper, which runs to 11 pages, introduces the standard and explains how it relates to machine guarding and machine safety. All four parts of ISO 14122 are Type-B standards and are therefore potentially applicable to all types of machinery - though, as the White Paper explains, Part 1 must be used in conjunction with at least one of Parts 2, 3 or 4. While not mandatory, it is highly recommended that the relevant parts of the standard are referred to, whether the intention is to use custom-designed or modular access systems manufactured from steel, stainless steel, aluminium or another material. Note that BS EN ISO 14122 parts 1 to 4 are published by BSI as the UK version of the International and European Harmonised standard.
Rather than presenting a line-by-line analysis of the standard, the White Paper explains some of the concepts and technical details that are not immediately obvious when reading the standard. It will therefore help readers to understand and interpret the machinery access standard, whether they are new to designing permanent means of access or have designed them before but using the previous edition of the standard. Procter Machine Guarding believes that its new White Paper is 'the most comprehensive guide to ISO 14122 parts 1 to 4 that has been published to date, and certainly the 2016 versions.'
Extra material
In addition to providing ample information about BS EN ISO 14122, the White Paper lists useful resources and sources of further information. These will be helpful for readers who need to know more about topics such as risk assessments, safety distances or machine guarding standards, or who want to review relevant guidance from the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) or the European Commission.
Anyone responsible for specifying or designing machines or permanent means of access, including building or civil constructions where the main function is to provide access to a machine or process, should download or request a copy of the new White Paper. Furthermore, although the standard is not applicable retrospectively, anyone who is concerned about the adequacy and safety of an existing permanent means of access will also benefit from reading the White Paper.
Copies of the free White Paper BS EN ISO 14122, Safety of machinery - permanent means of access, are available as a PDF from the Downloads section of the Procter Machine Guarding website or it can be read online.
