Introduction
This document is a type-B standard as stated in ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the
market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organisations, market surveillance etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e. g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
In addition, this document is intended for standardization bodies elaborating type-C standards.
The requirements of this document can be supplemented or modified by a type-C standard.
For machines which are covered by the scope of a type-C standard and which have been designed and
built according to the requirements of that standard, the requirements of that type-C standard take
precedence.
The structure of safety standards in the field of machinery is as follows.
a) Type-A standards (basic safety standards) give basic concepts, principles for design and general
aspects that can be applied to machinery;
b) Type-B standards (generic safety standards) dealing with one or more safety aspect(s), or one or
more type(s) of safeguards that can be used across a wide range of machinery:
— type-B1 standards on particular safety aspects (for example, safety distances, surface
temperature, noise);
— type-B2 standards on safeguards (for example, two-hand control devices, interlocking devices,
pressure-sensitive devices, guards);
c) Type-C standards (machine safety standards) dealing with detailed safety requirements for a
particular machine or group of machines.
This type-B standard is written to provide guidance to machine manufacturers on how to provide an
instruction handbook. According to ISO 12100:2010, 6.4.1.1, drafting information for use is an integral
part of the design of a machine. Information for use consists of communication links, such as texts,
words, signs, signals, symbols or diagrams, used separately or in combination to convey information to
the user. Information for use is intended for professional and/or non-professional users. Instructions
are a key part of the information for use of a machine. This document provides safety specifications for
machinery that is more specific than IEC/IEEE 82079-1.
The instruction handbook drafted in accordance with this document is intended to inform the user in
such a manner that after reading it, he/she is aware of how the machine can be used safely according to
its intended use during its life cycle, considering also aspects of reasonably foreseeable misuse.

4 Principles and general information
4.1 General
The purpose of the instruction handbook is to provide the user with such information that the machinery
concerned can be effectively and safely used during the life cycle of the machine, also considering
reasonably foreseeable misuse. When the instruction handbook is being prepared, the communication
process “read – think – use” should be followed in order to achieve the maximum effect for the reader.
NOTE For general principles of design of instruction handbooks see also IEC/IEEE 82079-1:2019, 6.3.
The instruction handbook shall follow sequential operations, as applicable.
The instruction handbook shall provide the target group(s) with information on:
— intended use;
— the machine itself and, as appropriate, its parts and components;
— relevant phases of the life cycle of the machine according to ISO 12100;
— hazards that have been identified and risk reduction measures that have been applied in conjunction
with activities the user is expected to perform (human machine interaction); and
— residual risks, as these can require risk reduction by the user of the machine.
4.2 Target group for the instruction handbook
Target groups consisting of persons who interact directly with the machine and the task(s) they
perform shall be identified.
2 © ISO 2019 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 20607:2020
ISO 20607:2019(E)

Target groups that can interact with the machine shall be described in the instruction handbook and
typically include, but are not limited to:
a) installers (for example, system integrators);
b) operators;
c) maintenance personnel or technicians;
d) cleaning personnel;
e) dismantling personnel.
4.3 Information needs
The instruction handbook shall take into account the specific needs, foreseeable knowledge and
technical vocabulary of the target group intended to use the machine.
4.4 Comprehensible terminology and wording
The instruction handbook shall be:
a) comprehensible by using preferably standardized terms, well recognized technical terms or
explaining special technical terms and expressions, if used;
b) as simple and as brief as possible by using, for example
— language-independent instructions to support the text (pictograms, pictures, drawings etc.);
— short and simple sentences;
— where synonyms are available, use only one term;
— tables and listings;
— chronological, logical and sequential writing;
— repetition, where necessary;
— diagrams, charts;
c) expressed in consistent terms and units (for example, SI quantities);
d) drafted using the active voice;
e) easily translatable.
NOTE For guidance and examples on formulation, see Annex C.
4.5 Presentation of the instruction handbook
The instruction handbook may be presented as a single document or as a set of separate documents, for
example, for the following reasons:
— instructions intended for different target groups (see 4.2);
— a single document is too large or complex;
— document is addressing different life phases of the machine.
When providing information for different target groups in a single document the information shall be
clearly separated so that a user does not accidently
