This document describes the main ergonomic risk factors influencing the safety of machinery and gives a framework for incorporating them into the design of machines by the integration of important ergonomic principles relating to: - avoiding stressful postures and movements during use of the machine; - designing machines, and more especially hand-held and mobile machines, which can be operated easily; - avoiding as far as possible noise, vibration, thermal effects; - avoiding linking the operator's working rhythm to an automatic succession of cycles; - providing local lighting on or in the machine; - selecting, locating and identifying manual controls (actuators) so that they are clearly visible and identifiable and appropriately marked where necessary; - selecting, designing and locating indicators, dials and visual display units. The approach is based on ISO 12100 with its iterative process to identify significant hazards and reduce risks. Relevant steps of this iterative process have been adapted to include ergonomic principles, and practical guidance is given to apply standards dealing with ergonomics which are relevant for machinery design. This document is intended for use by standards writers and designers of machinery. It can be used when no relevant C-type standards are available. The document contains the German language version of ISO/TR 22100-3:2016 prepared by ISO/TC 199 "Safety of machinery". The responsible German committee is "Gemeinschaftsarbeitsausschuss NASG/NAM/DKE, Allgemeine Grundsätze und Terminologie" (NA 095-01-01 GA) (Joint Working Committee NASG/NAM/DKE "General principles and terminology") at DIN Standards Committee Safety Design Principles.
