Where Mandatory Safety Requirements Come From
Two sources: regulation and mandatory standards. Both apply.
Sources
Explicit clauses in laws and regulations, and mandatory national or regional standards. Voluntary standards describe good practice but are not, by themselves, a legal obligation.
Typical content
Mechanical guarding, electrical safety, emergency stop and safety circuits, limit and overload protection, warning signs and instructions.
Working method
Build a compliance list at project start with the clause reference, the method of compliance and the responsible person, then verify item by item at acceptance.
