1. Supply and Voltage Requirements: It defines how machinery should connect to the mains supply and acceptable voltage limits.
2. Protection Against Electric Shock: It mandates the use of enclosures, insulation, and protective bonding (earthing) to prevent operators from coming into contact with live parts.
3. Emergency Stop Functions: It details the requirements for emergency stop devices (E-stops), including their color (typically red on a yellow background), placement, and how they must cut power safely.
4. Control Circuits: It guides the design of control panels, ensuring that a single fault does not lead to a dangerous situation (preventing unintended startup).
5. Marking and Documentation: It requires technical documentation, circuit diagrams, and warning labels (like the standard "Electrical Hazard" triangle) to be clearly visible on the machine.
