5. PICTOGRAPHS
General information
The pictographs must be applied in areas where they are easily visible and legible by anyone
who is approaching and at such a point so that the person may react timely for taking the
actions necessary to avoid the danger.
When possible, they must be applied in areas protected by the risk of damaging, abrasion,
chemical aggression, dust or anything else that could change their visibility and reading. The
temperature field of use is between -40 °C and +80 °C provided that there is no uneven distri-
bution of the temperatures that affect adversely on the thermal expansion of the material.
The surfaces on which are applied the pictographs must be clean, smooth and without greases,
oils or chemical products which reduce their adhesion.
The rule envisages that the safety pictographs are regularly checked and cleaned to ensure their
good readability at a safe distance. When the products are subjected to extreme environmental
conditions or anyhow when the safety pictographs do not meet any longer the required visibi-
lity conditions, they must be substituted.
REPAIRS
Element of the machine used specifically to guarantee the protection through a
material barrier.
PROTECTION DEVICE
Device (other than a shelter) which reduces the risk, on its own or
associated to a shelter.
PLANNED USE
Use of the machine in compliance with the information provided in the use
instructions.
READILY PREDICTABLE MISUSE
Use of the machine in a manner other than that indica-
ted in the use instructions, but which may result from readily predictable human behaviour.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Risks that remain despite having adopted protection measures integrated
in the design of the machine and despite the additional protections and protection measures
adopted.
