1 Scope
This standard defines technical principles to help designers in achieving safety in the design of machinery.
GB/T 15706.2 is intended to be used together with GB/T 15706.1 when considering the solution to a specific problem. The two parts of GB/T 15706 can be used independently of other documents or as a basis for the preparation of other type-A standards or type-B or -C standards.
This standard does not deal with damage to domestic animals, property or the environment.

4 Inherently safe design measures
4.1 General
Inherently safe design measures are the first and most important step in the risk reduction process because protective measures inherent to the characteristics of the machine are likely to remain effective, whereas experience has shown that even well-designed safeguarding may fail or be violated and information for use may not be followed.
Inherently safe design measures are achieved by avoiding hazards or reducing risks by a suitable choice of design features of the machine itself and/or interaction between the exposed persons and the machine.
