What is ISO 160924 about?  

ISO 160924, is part four of the multi-series standard that in addition to ISO 16092-1, specifies the technical safety requirements and measures to be adopted by persons undertaking the design, manufacture and supply of pneumatic presses which are intended to work cold metal or material partly of cold metal. 

ISO 160924 deals with all significant hazards relevant for pneumatic presses, when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). All the phases of the lifetime of the machinery as described in ISO 12100:2010, 5.4, have been taken into consideration. 

Who is ISO 160924 for? 

ISO 160924 on safety requirements for pneumatic presses is useful for: 

  • Pneumatic press manufacturers  
  • Industries using pneumatic presses 
  • Maintenance providers for pneumatic presses 

Why should you use ISO 160924?  

ISO 160924 contains all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events identified by risk assessment as significant for the machines and which require a specific action to eliminate or reduce the risk. This will help you identify the potential risks to the pneumatic press. 

ISO 160924 provides safety requirements and measures for mechanical hazards, slips trips and falls. ISO 160924 provides guidance for the release of persons trapped between the tools and inside the enclosed area. Following these measures will improve the safety of the pneumatic press. 

ISO 160924 lays out instructions for marking, warnings, and instruction handbook.   

The guidance for tool-setting, trial strokes, maintenance, and lubrication are given in ISO 160924. 

Verification of safety measures is important to assess the quality of the pneumatic press. ISO 160924 provides a method(s) by which the safety requirements and protective measures shall be verified  

What’s changed since the last update?  

BS EN ISO 160924:2020 supersedes BS EN 13736:2003+A1:2009, which is withdrawn.
