scope:

This International standard specifies technical safety requirements and measures to be adopted by persons undertaking the design, manufacture and supply of presses and ancillary devices which are intended to work cold metal or material partly of cold metal. The requirements in this International standard take account of intended use, as defined in 3.22 of ISO 12100-1:2003. 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 an integral part of the press. This 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 presses covered by this standard which 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 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 (e.g. cardboard, plastic, rubber, leather) 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. for the construction industry; j) spot welding; k) tube bending; l) working by ...
