Section 5.16.3 of DIN EN 415-10 outlines activities with open guards under point h). The set-up mode with the guard open is permitted only with reduced speed, power, pressure or, energy supply. A safety controller can be used to evaluate these parameters.

Section 5.14.7 specifies stopping time. The machine's safety controller must ensure hazardous functions stop when a locked movable guard is opened, and the safety distance is maintained.

If this cannot be achieved, the standard requires the use of guards with guard locking. For further details and requirements, refer to DIN EN 14119:2003, Chapters 5.7, 5.2 and 5.3.
