2.2 General risks when using the product
The product, hereinafter referred to as
measuring system
, is manufactured according to state-of-the-
art technology and accepted safety rules.
Nevertheless, non-intended use can pose a danger to life and limb of the user or third parties,
or lead to impairment of the measuring system, or other property values!
The measuring system may only be used in technically perfect condition in accordance with its
intended use and the instructions set out in the
conscious persons who are fully aware of the risks involved in operating the measuring system. Faults
which could threaten safety should be eliminated without delay!
2.3 Residual risk
According to EN ISO 12100-1 “Safety of machinery – Basic concepts, general principles for design”,
residual risk is defined as the risk remaining after application of all protective measures.
Risk itself is defined as the “combination of the likelihood of a hazard and the severity of the potential
damage”.
During the entire safety lifecycle, TR-Electronic has applied risk minimizing measures and
methods according to the state of the art and technology – however, residual risks still remain
even when properly using the measuring system!
Residual risks are not only indicated in this chapter, but also in all relevant parts of the entire
document, in some cases also by referencing the corresponding interface-specific user manual.
The risk assessment of the entire system required by the EU Machinery Directive requires knowledge
, including any documented general conditions, safety instructions
and residual risks, and to incorporate such into the company’s own risk assessment.
