1.1.5 Residual risks of power drive systems
The 
control and drive components of a drive system are approved for industrial and commercial 
use in industrial line supplies. Their use in public line supplies requires a different configuration 
and/or additional measures.
These components may only be operated in closed housings or in higher-level control cabinets 
with protective covers that are closed, and when all of the protective devices are enabled.
These components may only be handled by qualified and trained technical personnel who are 
knowledgeable and observe all of the safety instructions on the components and in the 
associated technical user documentation.
When assessing the machine's risk in accordance with the respective local regulations (e.g. 
EC Machinery Directive), the machine manufacturer must take into account the following 
residual risks emanating from the controller and drive components of a drive system:
