EN 294 (safety distances) was not listed in the list of harmonized standards for the EU machinery directive published in the EU Official Journal on 22 June 2008, not even as a withdrawn standard. So I sent an email to ask if it was a mistake... > Dear Mr. Garside, > > Indeed, it was a mistake: we removed the references of the standards > EN 294:1992 and EN 811:1996 but we did not include the reference of > the new standard EN ISO 13857:2008 superseding the two old standards > as by 30.09.2008. > > We are going to correct the mistake with the publication of the new > consolidated lists of harmonised standards under the Machinery > Directive 98/37/EC, as soon as possible. In any case, until the date > indicated 30.9.2008, standards EN 294:1992 and EN 811:1996 are still > harmonised standards. > > We apologize for the inconvenience. > [...] > European Commission - DG Enterprise & Industry > Unit I4 - Mechanical, Electrical and Telecom Equipment
