Woodworking machines - Safety - Part 15: Presses (ISO 19085-15:2025); German and version EN ISO 19085-15:2025
Abstract
1.1 This document specifies the safety requirements and measures for — cold presses, — hot presses, — bending presses, — edge/face gluing presses, — membrane presses, and — embossing presses, where the pressing force is applied by hydraulic, pneumatic or electrical actuators pushing two flat or shaped surfaces against each other, capable of continuous production use, altogether referred to as "machines". This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Annex A, relevant to machines, when operated, adjusted and maintained as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer, including reasonably foreseeable misuse. Also, transport, assembly, dismantling, disabling and scrapping phases are taken into account. 1.2 This document is applicable to machines fitted with one or more of the following devices or additional working units, whose hazards have been dealt with: a) a device for hot gluing; b) a device for high-frequency gluing in the frequency range from 1 MHz to 400 MHz; c) a device for high-frequency shaping in the frequency range from 1 MHz to 400 MHz; d) an automatic workpiece loading and unloading system; e) an intermediate additional platen; f) a workpiece extractor; g) a horizontal pressing system; h) split moveable platens. 1.3 The machines are designed to process workpieces consisting of: a) solid wood; b) materials with similar characteristics to wood (see ISO 19085-1:2021, 3.2), except those with light alloy laminates/edges/profiles for high-frequency presses; c) wood-based material such as chipboard, fibreboard and plywood composed/laminated with steel sheets/edges/profiles, except for high-frequency presses; d) honeycomb board; e) composite boards made from the materials listed above. 1.4 This document does not deal with any hazards related to: — specific devices that differ from the list above; — hot fluid heating systems internal to the machine other than electrical; — any hot fluid heating systems external to the machine; — operation of taking intermediate platens out and in again; — the combination of a single machine being used with any other machine (as part of a line). 1.5 This document is not applicable to: — frame presses; — membrane presses where the pressing force is applied by vacuum only; — presses for producing chipboard, fibreboard, OSB; — machines intended for use in potentially explosive atmosphere; — machines manufactured before the date of publication of this document.
