Revision 05 of 29.05.2026. Question related to: Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230; Other: - EN 1005-2: 2003/A1:2008; Normative clause: general. Status: approved by the Horizontal Committee of NBs on 10/12.2025; endorsed by the Machinery Expert Group on 27/04/2026.

What criteria should be taken into account when evaluating if a component can be transported by hand?

The principal criteria to be taken into consideration are:

the mass of the component by component we mean all components used during the maintenance

the dimensions of the component. The maximum permitted mass per person is worked out according to the maximum distance between lifting and laying, as per the following table, and under no circumstances can exceed 25 Kg (in accordance with Directive 90/269/EEC, see also EN 1005-2:2003/A1:2008 safety of machinery. Human safety performance Part 2: Manual handling of machinery and component parts of machinery). Otherwise, standardised gripping devices which can be used in conjunction with slings, hooks, lifting rings or more simply cut holes must be foreseen for handling, and the instruction handbook should give all the necessary instructions. Regardless of their weight, machine components which are more hazardous due to sharp areas, bulky shapes, slippery lubricated surfaces, etc. must be fitted with appropriate devices to ease handling.

Where the mass of a component to be handled is not obvious, (a strengthened, heat insulating guard for example), an indication regarding its sturdiness must be affixed to the guard itself. The notified body should ensure that the instruction handbook gives all the details pertinent to the handling of these components. The mass of components exceeding 25 Kg must be mentioned in the instruction handbook.
