Machine tools. Mechanical presses. Safety (British Standard)
1.1 This European Standard specifies technical safety requirements and measures to be adopted by persons undertaking the design, manufacture and supply of mechanical presses with part revolution clutch hereinafter called presses which are intended to work cold metal or material partly of cold metal.
NOTE The design of a machine includes the study of the machine itself, taking into account all phases of its “lifeâ€, i.e. construction, transport and commission (including assembly, installation and adjustment), use (including setting, teaching/programming or process changeover, operation, cleaning, fault finding and maintenance) and de-commissioning, dismantling and, as far as safety is concerned, disposal, and the drafting of the instructions related to all above-mentioned phases of the “life†of the machine (except construction), dealt with it in 6.5 of EN ISO 12100-2:2003.
1.2 This European Standard also covers presses, whose primary intended use is to work cold metal, which are to be used in the same way to work other sheet materials (such as cardboard, plastic, rubber or leather), and metal powder.
