BS EN ISO 16092-2:2020 PDF Download

BS EN ISO 16092-2:2020 is a safety standard for mechanical presses. It outlines the technical safety requirements and measures that must be adhered to by those designing, manufacturing, and supplying mechanical presses and mechanical press production systems. The standard covers two groups of mechanical presses: group 1 presses with a part-revolution clutch, and group 2 presses with a servo drive system (mechanical servo presses).

The document covers all significant hazards related to mechanical presses and ancillary devices when used as intended, as well as under conditions of reasonably foreseeable misuse by the manufacturer. It applies to all phases of the machine life cycle, including design, manufacture, installation, operation, maintenance, decommissioning, and disposal.

However, the standard does not apply to machines that transmit energy to the press slide motion using hydraulic or pneumatic means, those that have two or more slides moving in different angular orientations from each other, or those that use a linear motor mechanism(s) to impart press slide motion.
