Typicals and regulations1.2 Safety of machinery in EuropeSafety Integrated20 Function Manual, 05/2010, A5E03264275AType C Typicals/product TypicalsC Typicals are product-specific Typicals (e.g. for machine tools, woodworking machines,elevators, packaging machines, printing machines, etc.). Product Typicals contain machine-specific requirements. The requirements can, under certain circumstances, deviate from thebasic and group Typicals. Type C/product Typicals have the highest priority for machinemanufacturers who can assume that it fulfills the basic requirements of Annex I of theMachinery Directive (automatic presumption of compliance). If no product standard has beendefined for a particular machine, type B Typicals can be applied when the machine isconstructed.A complete list of the Typicals specified and the mandated draft Typicals are available on theInternet at the following address:http://www.newapproach.org/Recommendation: Due to the rapid pace of technical development and the associatedchanges in machine concepts, the Typicals (and C Typicals in particular) should be checkedto ensure that they are up to date. Please note that the application of a particular standardmay not be mandatory provided that all the safety requirements of the applicable EUdirectives are fulfilled.
