2.2 General risks when using the product
The product, hereinafter referred to as
encoTRive
, is manufactured according to state-of-the-art tech-
nology and accepted safety rules.
Nevertheless, improper use can pose a danger to life and limb of the user or third parties, or
lead to impairment of the encoTRive or other property!
Only use the encoTRive in technically perfect condition, and only for its designated use taking safety
and hazard aspects into consideration, and with reference to
! Faults
which could threaten safety should be eliminated without delay!
If the encoTRive does not function or only functions incorrectly, further procedure must be agreed with
TR-Electronic if necessary.
2.3 Residual risk
According to EN ISO 12100-
1 “Safety of machinery – Basic concepts, general principles for design”
the residual risk is defined as the risk that remains after applying all protective measures.
The risk itself is defined as the “combination of the probability of occurrence of harm and the severity
of that harm”.
Throughout the safety lifecycle, TR-Electronic has applied risk elimination measures and
methods according to the state of the art in science and technology - however, residual risks
remain when using the encoTRive as intended!
The residual risks are not only specified in this chapter, but at all relevant points of the entire docu-
ment.
For the risk assessment of the overall system required by the EU Machinery Directive it is therefore
necessary to know the
, including the documented boundary conditions,
safety instructions and residual risks and incorporate these into your own risk assessment.
