UNE-EN ISO 16092-1:2018

1.1This International standard specifies technical safety requirements and measures to be adopted by persons undertaking the design, manufacture and supply of presses which are intended to work cold metal or material partly of cold metal.

NOTEThe design of a machine includes the study of the machine itself, taking into account all phases of the life of the machine mentioned in ISO 12100:2010, 5.4, and the drafting of the instructions related to all the above phases.

The requirements in this International standard take account of intended use, as defined in 3.23 of ISO 12100:2010. This standard presumes access to the press from all directions, deals with the hazards during the various phases of the life of the machine described in Clause 4, and specifies the safety measures for both the operator and other exposed persons.

This International Standard also applies to ancillary devices which are supplied as an integral part of the press. This International standard also applies to machines which are part of an integrated manufacturing system where the hazards and risk arising are comparable to those of machines working separately.

The covered presses transmit force mechanically to cut, form, or work cold metal or other sheet materials by means of tools or dies attached to or operated by slides/ram in range in size from small high speed machines with a single operator producing small work-pieces to large relatively slow speed machines with several operators and large work-pieces.

This standard covers presses whose primary intended use is to work cold metal, but which may be used in the same way to work other sheet materials (e.g. cardboard, plastic, rubber, leather, etc.)

This part of ISO 16092 does not cover machines whose principal designed purpose is:

a)metal cutting by guillotine;

b)attaching a fastener, e.g. riveting, stapling or stitching;

c)bending or folding by press brakes or folding machines;

d)straightening;

e)turret punch pressing;

f)extruding;

g)drop forging or drop stamping;

h)compaction of metal powder;

i)single purpose punching machines designed exclusively for profiles, e.g. used in the construction industry;

j)spot welding;

k)tube bending;

l)working by pneumatic hammer;

This International standard does not cover hazards related to the use of presses in explosive atmospheres.

This International standard covers the safety requirements related to the use of programmable electronic systems (PES) and programmable pneumatic systems (PPS).

This International standard is not applicable to presses which are manufactured before the date of its publication.

NOTEFor the safeguarding of integrated manufacturing systems using presses, see also ISO 11161.

1.2This International standard deals with the common significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to presses and ancillary devices which are intended to work cold metal or material partly of cold metal when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This part of ISO 16092 defines the common safety requirements for presses defined in 1.1 and should be used in connection with other parts of the ISO 16092.

Specific hazards which are related to the type presses used are dealt with in ISO 16092, parts 2, 3 , 4 and 5.
