Woodworking machines - Safety - Part 1: Common requirements
Scope:
This document gives the safety requirements and measures to reduce risks arising during operation, adjustment, maintenance, transport, assembly, dismantling, disabling and scrapping, related to woodworking machines capable of continuous production use, hereinafter referred as “machines”. These safety requirements and measures are those common to most of the machines, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer; reasonably foreseeable misuse has been considered too.
The machines are designed to process solid wood and material with similar physical characteristics to wood,
with hand feed or integrated feed.
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with the other parts of the ISO 19085 series, applicable to
specific machine types. The extent to which all significant hazards of a specific machine type are covered is
indicated in the specific part of the ISO 19085 series relevant to that machine type. The hazards covered, at
least partly, by the requirements of this document, are listed in Annex A.
