Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

This second edition replaces the first edition (ISO 19085‑1:2017), which has been technically revised.

The main technical changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:

in the Scope, “intended for continuous production use” has been added, referring to machines;
in Clause 3, definitions of “stationary” and “displaceable” machines have been deleted, as well as these terms throughout the document; subclause 5.1 was unified, as well as Annex C;
in 4.3, the start via control power-on, used on integrated fed machines, has been added;
Subclause 4.5 has been reordered and clarified;
in 4.7.3, for software parametrization, reference to the relevant B-standard has been added;
new Subclause 4.13 has been added (taken from some specific parts);
Subclause 5.6 has been unified and simplified to better adapt to the different needs of specific parts of the ISO 19085 series;
in 5.9.2.3, light alloy characteristics have been changed, to discern from the other class of guards;
in 5.10, requirements on roller table have been added (taken from some specific parts);
Subclause 6.2 has been updated and a new full noise test code has been added in Annex F.

Introduction

The ISO 19085 series provides technical safety requirements for the design and construction of woodworking machinery. It concerns designers, manufacturers, suppliers and importers of the machines specified in the Scope. It also includes a list of items that the manufacturer need to give to the user.

This document is a type-C standard as stated in ISO 12100.

This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market players with regard to machinery safety:

machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance etc.)

Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the above-mentioned stakeholder groups:

machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
service providers, e. g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).

The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate in the drafting process of this document.

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.

When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C standard.

The full set of requirements for a particular type of woodworking machine are those given in the part of the ISO 19085 series applicable to that type, together with the relevant requirements from this document, to the extent specified in the Scope of the applicable part of the ISO 19085 series.

For woodworking machines not covered by a specific applicable part, this document can be used as a guide. However, the designer then needs to perform a full risk assessment according to ISO 12100 and design the means for reducing the risks arising from relevant hazards.

As far as possible, in other parts of the ISO 19085 series, safety requirements have been treated by way of reference to the relevant clauses of this document, to avoid repetition and reduce their length. The other parts contain replacements and additions to the common requirements given in this document.

This European Standard was approved by CEN on 13 February 2021.

CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre or to any CEN member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and United Kingdom.

1 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.

It is not applicable to machines intended for use in potential explosive atmospheres or to machines manufactured prior to the date of its publication.
