UNE-EN ISO 16090-1:2018

This standard specifies the technical safety requirements and protective measures to be adopted by persons undertaking the design, construction and supply (including installation and dismantling, with arrangements for transport and maintenance) of stationary machines for working of cold metal and other non-combustible, cold, material, excluding wood and stone, with geometrically-defined cutting edge tools (milling).

This standard includes the following machines, capable of performing milling and boring operations but is not limited to these:

a)Manually controlled boring and milling machines without numerical control (see 3.2.1, Group 1), e.g.

-knee and column type milling machines (see figure C.1)

-boring and milling machines (see figure C.2)

b)Manually controlled boring and milling machines with limited numerical controlled capability (see 3.2.2, Group 2), e.g.

-plano milling machines (see figures C.3 and C.4)

-profile and contouring milling machines

c)Numerical controlled milling machines, milling- and machining centres (see 3.2.3, Group 3), e.g.

-automatic milling machines and milling centres, e.g. multi spindle milling machines, gear-milling machines (see figures C.5, C.6 and C.7)

-machining centres

d)Transfer and special purpose machines (see 3.2.4, Group 4),

which are designed to process only a pre-specified metal or analogous material workpiece, or limited family of similar workpieces by means of a predetermined sequence of machining operations and process parameters (see figures C.8, C.9, C.10, C.11, C.12 and C.13).

This international standard takes account of intended use, including reasonably foreseeable misuse, maintenance, cleaning, and setting operations. It specifies access conditions to operators positions and manual load/unload stations. It presumes accessibility to the machine from all directions. It describes means to reduce risks to operators and other exposed persons.

This international standard also applies to workpiece transfer devices including transport devices for loading/unloading when they form an integral part of the machine.

This international standard deals with significant hazards relevant to milling machines when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see 4).

Risk analysis of hazards arising from other metal working processes (e.g. grinding, turning, friction welding, forming, electro discharge, laser processing) are covered by other standards (see Bibliography). However if additional turning and grinding operation are provided hazard arising from additional clamping condition and ejection of parts shall be considered.

This international standard applies to machines which are manufactured after its date of publication.
