FEM 9.842-1 - Guideline / Rail dependent storage and retrieval systems – Consideration of accidental kinetic energy action in compliance with EN 528 Part 1, Pallet racking

FEM 9.824-1-EN

The Machinery Directive of the European Commission requires an evaluation of possible hazards and risks on the basis of which appropriate measures shall be taken to avoid or minimize the risks.

With regard to the operation of S/R Machines in a rack environment among others the following risk can be observed (for a full risk evaluation see EN 528:2008 at the time of publication of this Code).

The aim of this Code of Practice is to give a practical design approach for EN 528: 2008, clauses 4.1.1 and 5.6.3, based on the equivalence principle, which can be used until such time as an Addendum to EN 528: 2008 is published.
