Description / Abstract:
PURPOSE:
This standard is issued to consolidate the location of adopted
external standards within the Ford K-Standards – Safety of
Machinery category. These standards are to be employed,
regardless of country of origin, or use, for mass production and
general-purpose machine tools, and facilities equipment to ensure
consistent protection of Ford Motor Company employees and
facilities. Generally, these requirements are not retroactive to
existing equipment, unless specifically called for in the
referenced standards. Consistent with the hierarchy of standards
described in the European Norms, the following standards are
classified as Type A, Type B1 and Type B2.
