Sets out requirements for mechanical power presses that are intended to work cold metal or material partly of cold metal. Does not apply to guillotines, brake presses, straighteners, turret punch presses, extruders, forging presses, compaction of metal powder or printing presses.
This Standard specifies technical safety requirements and measures for the design, manufacture and supply of mechanical presses that are intended to work cold metal or material partly of cold metal. In operations involving hot working and the use of tongs during the machine cycle, the principles given in AS 4024.1 (series) should be considered, but may not be capable of being fully applied. This Standard should be read in conjunction with AS 4024.1 (series).
This Standard also covers presses whose primary intended use is to work cold metal, but which are used in a similar way to work other materials (e.g. cardboard, plastic, rubber or leather), and metal powder.
The requirements in this Standard take account of intended use. This Standard presumes access to the press from all directions and specifies the safety measures for both the operator and other exposed persons.
This Standard also applies to ancillary devices that are integral parts of the press. For the safeguarding of integrated manufacturing systems using presses, see also ISO 11161.
This Standard does not cover machines whose principal designed purpose is -
(A) sheet metal or paper cutting by guillotine (see AS 1893);
(B) attaching a fastener, e.g. riveting, stapling or stitching;
(c) bending or folding by brake presses;
(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; or
(j) printing presses.
