scope:

This International Standard specifies the requirements and/or measures to eliminate the hazards or reduce the risks in the following groups of turning machines and turning centres, which are designed primarily to shape metal by cutting. - Group 1: Manually controlled turning machines without numerical control. - Group 2: Manually controlled turning machines with limited numerically controlled capability. - Group 3: Numerically controlled turning machines and turning centres. - Group 4: Single- or multi-spindle automatic turning machines. This International Standard also applies to machines which are integrated into an automatic production line or turning cell inasmuch as the hazards and risks arising are comparable to those of machines working separately. This International Standard also includes a minimum list of safety-relevant information which the manufacturer has to provide to the user. See also ISO 12100-1:2003, Figure 1, which illustrates the interaction of manufacturer's and user's responsibility for the operational safety. The user's responsibility to identify specific hazards (e.g. fire and explosion) and reduce the associated risks can be critical (e.g. whether the central extraction system is working correctly). Where additional processes (e.g. milling, grinding, etc.) are involved, this International Standard can be taken as a basis for safety requirements; for specific information see the Bibliography. This International Standard applies to machines that are manufactured after the date of issue of this International Standard.
