What is ISO 19085-11 - Combined woodworking machines about?
ISO 19085-11 gives the safety requirements and measures for stationary and displaceable combined woodworking machines, having at least two separately usable working units and with manual loading and unloading of the workpiece, hereinafter referred to as “machines”. The integrated working units can be of these types only:
- A sawing unit
- A moulding unit
- A planing unit
The machines are designed to cut solid wood and material with similar physical characteristics to wood. ISO 19085-11 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 including foreseeable misuse. Also, transport, assembly, dismantling, disabling, and scrapping phases have been considered.
Note: ISO 19085-11 does not apply to:
- Machines incorporating only a planing unit and a mortising device
- Combined machines incorporating a band saw unit
- Machines with a mortising unit with a separate drive other than the planing unit drive
- Machines intended for use in potentially explosive atmosphere
- Machines manufactured before the date of its publication as an International Standard
Who is ISO 19085-11 - Combined woodworking machines for?
ISO 19085-11 on combined machines is beneficial for:
- Manufacturers of sawing unit, moulding unit and planning unit
- Designers of sawing unit, moulding unit and planning unit
- Suppliers of sawing unit, moulding unit and planning unit
- Importers of sawing unit, moulding unit and planning unit
Why should you use ISO 19085-11 - Combined woodworking machines?
Woodworking machines are also known as stationary machines.
ISO 19085-11 provides technical safety requirements for the design and construction of woodworking machinery. ISO 19085-11 includes a list of informative items that the manufacturer will need to give to the user. ISO 19085-11 assists the user with several types of combines machines and their modes and positions on how they are to be used. ISO 19085-11 also guides with safety and reliability of control systems.
Overall, ISO 19085-11 is useful as it provides guidance on how to work in hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events while using the machines.
