Typicals and regulations
1.2 Safety of machinery in Europe
Type C Typicals/product Typicals
C Typicals are product-specific Typicals (e.g. for machine tools, woodworking machines,
elevators, packaging machines, printing machines, etc.). Product Typicals contain machine-
specific requirements. The requirements can, under certain circumstances, deviate from the
basic and group Typicals. Type C/product Typicals have the highest priority for machine
manufacturers who can assume that it fulfills the basic requirements of Annex I of the
Machinery Directive (automatic presumption of compliance). If no product standard has been
defined for a particular machine, type B Typicals can be applied when the machine is
constructed.
A complete list of the Typicals specified and the mandated draft Typicals are available on the
Internet at the following address:

Recommendation: Due to the rapid pace of technical development and the associated
changes in machine concepts, the Typicals (and C Typicals in particular) should be checked
to ensure that they are up to date. Please note that the application of a particular standard
may not be mandatory provided that all the safety requirements of the applicable EU
directives are fulfilled.
