GOST R ISO 14122-1-2009 PDF

Full title and description

GOST R ISO 14122-1-2009 — Safety of machinery. Permanent means of access to machinery. Part 1: Choice of fixed means of access between two levels. (Russian: ГОСТ Р ИСО 14122-1-2009 — Безопасность машин. Средства доступа к машинам стационарные. Часть 1. Выбор стационарных средств доступа между двумя уровнями).

Abstract

This national adoption (GOST R) reproduces the ISO technical content addressing selection and general requirements for permanent fixed means of access to machinery where direct access from ground or floor level is not possible. It gives guidance on preferred solutions (level access, ramps, stairs, ladders) and specifies minimum safety and assembly requirements for fixed access elements that are part of a machine or its immediate working area. The content aligns with the ISO 14122 series approach to machine access safety.

General information

• Status: National GOST R adoption of ISO 14122-1 (active in commercial catalogs / national collections; see notes on later ISO revisions below).
• Publication date: Designation year 2009 (GOST R ISO 14122-1-2009); catalog/registration entries in commercial standards databases show national publication/availability dates such as 01 Jan 2011 (catalog listing) and later distributor listings (e.g., 2013).
• Publisher: Published as a national GOST R adoption and commonly distributed by Russian standards publishers/aggregators (commercial distribution shown by Interstandard / national distributors).
• ICS / categories: 13.110 (Safety of machinery / machine safety and access).
• Edition / version: GOST R ISO 14122-1-2009 (first national adoption under that designation). The underlying ISO text historically existed as ISO 14122-1 (2001 edition) and the ISO committee later issued a 2016 edition of ISO 14122-1. Please check national registries for any later Russia-specific revisions.
• Number of pages: Commercial catalogue entries list the document page count at 16 pages for the GOST R PDF edition.

Scope

Specifies the principles for choosing fixed means of access between two levels where direct access from ground or floor is not possible. The standard applies to permanent fixed means of access that form part of a stationary machine (and, in certain cases, to parts of the building whose main function is to provide machine access). It is intended to be used together with the access-specific parts of the ISO 14122 series and does not cover powered passenger lifts, escalators or specially designed lifting devices.

Key topics and requirements

• Hierarchy of preferred access solutions: level access from ground/floor when possible; otherwise ramps, stairs or lifts; then stepladders and ladders as less-preferred options.
• General requirements for selection of fixed means of access between two levels, including suitability, frequency of use and ergonomics.
• Minimum safety and dimensional guidance for fixed access elements (walkways, platforms, stairs, ladders) and associated guarding where relevant.
• Applicability rules for access components that are part of the machine or are removable/moveable but are intended to provide regular access.
• Assembly, installation and maintenance considerations to preserve the integrity and safe use of fixed means of access.
• Exclusions: powered passenger lifts, escalators and devices specifically designed to lift persons between levels are outside the scope.

Typical use and users

Used by machine designers, safety engineers, maintenance planners, plant managers, conformity assessment bodies and standards purchasers to select and specify safe fixed means of access on machinery and equipment installations. It supports compliance with machine safety principles and informs technical specifications for platforms, stairs, ramps and ladders attached to machinery.

Related standards

Part of the ISO 14122 series: Part 2 (working platforms and walkways), Part 3 (stairs, stepladders and guard-rails) and Part 4 (fixed ladders). It is also intended to be used alongside general machine safety standards such as ISO 12100 (general principles for risk assessment and risk reduction) and other regional/national machine safety regulations.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is the Russian national adoption (GOST R) of ISO 14122-1, titled "Safety of machinery — Permanent means of access to machinery — Part 1: Choice of fixed means of access between two levels", providing guidance and minimum requirements for selecting fixed means of access to machinery.

Q: What does it cover?

A: The standard covers principles and general requirements for selecting fixed access solutions (level access, ramps, stairs, ladders), basic safety and assembly considerations for fixed means of access that are part of machinery or its immediate working area, and clarifies exclusions (powered passenger lifts, escalators).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Machine manufacturers, design engineers, safety and maintenance personnel, plant managers and conformity assessors use it to design and verify safe, permanent access arrangements to machines.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: GOST R ISO 14122-1-2009 is a national adoption referencing the ISO 14122 series. The underlying ISO has a later edition (ISO 14122-1:2016). National application and currency can vary by registry and distributor; check the official national standards registry or the publisher for the authoritative current status and any subsequent Russian updates or replacements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 1 of the ISO 14122 series (Parts 1–4) dealing with permanent means of access to machinery; the other parts give more detailed requirements for walkways/platforms (Part 2), stairs and guard-rails (Part 3) and fixed ladders (Part 4).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Fixed access, permanent access, stairs, ramps, ladders, platforms, walkways, machine safety, access selection, GOST R, ISO 14122.
