A question about the coupling guard?

Is it allowed to use a movable coupling guard? (Note: The coupling guard for the machine refers to a guard that can be removed at any time, with no bolt connections securing it to the equipment base.) Are there any relevant regulations regarding this?
Personal opinion: :lol 1. It must be secured for safety’s sake! Because it’s not fixed, it can sometimes be touched or knocked over, increasing safety risks. 2. For convenience, it can be determined whether to use a fixed value or not depending on the specific circumstances. But it is still recommended to keep everything fixed, so as not to cause accidents for temporary convenience! !
May I ask: are there any regulations in the relevant standards regarding this matter?
It should be fixed, but of a type that can be removed. However, it must be reinstalled and secured after repair. 【In actual production, things are often fixed initially, and after maintenance they are just placed there casually without being re-fixed】
Generally, the guards are fixed to the device base, and they are secured using small screw clips
It can be made in a “quick-install” format.
GB8196-2003 Mechanical Safety – General Requirements for the Design and Manufacture of Fixed and Movable Protective Devices
Could you explain the specific plan?
Just like. . . Well, how should I put it? Its advantages are like those of threaded threads
All I’ve seen are those with bolt connections, where the upper part can be lifted off just like a lid
