BS EN ISO 19085-14:2021

What is ISO 19085-14- Four-sided moulding machines about?

ISO 19085-14 gives the safety requirements and measures for four-sided moulding machines, capable of continuous production use, with a maximum working width of 350 mm and a maximum speed of the integrated workpiece feed of 200 m/min, hereinafter referred to as “machines”, designed to cut solid wood and materials with similar physical characteristics to wood.

ISO 19085-14 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations, and events relevant to the machines, when operated, adjusted, and maintained as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer; reasonably foreseeable misuse has been considered too. Also, transport, assembly, dismantling, disabling, and scrapping phases are taken into account.

Note 1: ISO 19085-14 does not deal with any hazards related to:

• In-feed devices other than in-feed hopper and loading magazine;

Note 2: For mechanical in-feed devices which also prevent access to the in-feed opening

• Out-feed devices other than unloading table, except for hazards related to ejection from the machine due to climb cutting
• Out-feed of workpieces on machines with feed speed higher than 60 m/min

Note 3: Machines with feed speed higher than 60 m/min are usually combined with mechanical unloading and workpiece transfer systems

• Machines being used in combination with any other machine

Note 4: ISO 19085-14 is not applicable to machines intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere and to machines manufactured prior to its publication.

Who is ISO 19085-14 -Four-sided moulding machines for?

19085-14 on the safety of four-sided moulding machines is beneficial for:

• Machine woodworkers, builders, masons, artisans, and laborers
• Woodworking machine setters, operators, and tenders
• Wood craftsmen
• Carpenters
• Structural engineers
• Manufacturers and suppliers of four-sided moulding machines

Why should you use ISO 19085-14- Four-sided moulding machines?

Four-sided moulding machines are woodworking machines with 4 spindles in a row for the four-sided processing of workpieces through planning. The workpieces are guided by feed rollers along with the milling spindles.

ISO 19085-14 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.)

ISO 19085-14 provides technical safety requirements for the design and construction of woodworking machinery. ISO 19085-14 concerns designers, manufacturers, suppliers, and importers of the machines. ISO 19085-14 includes a list of informative items to be provided to the user by the manufacturer.

ISO 19085-14 is applicable to machines fitted with one or more of the following additional working units, whose hazards have been dealt with:

• Universal spindle
• Glass bead saw unit
• Fixed or movable workpiece support
• Glass bead saw unit
• Quick tool changing system
• Laser marking unit
• Automatic workpiece returner
• In-feed hopper
• Loading magazine
• Unloading table

Overall, ISO 19085-14 is helpful as it assists the user with the safety measures of four-sided moulding machines of woodworking machines.
