- Scope
- This European Standard specifies the requirements and/or measures to remove the hazards and limit the risks on general purpose manually controlled horizontal or vertical spindle turning machines which may have limited or unlimited automatic control which are intended to work cold metal and here in after referred to as "machines". This standard covers all significant hazards, which are listed in clause 4. The standard also applies to ancillary devices (e. g, tools, chuck, workpiece handling devices and swarf handling equipment) which are integral to the machines. This standard also include information to be provided by the manufacturer to the user. This standard does not apply to NC turning machines which are intended for use as automatic production machines where the manual control is only for the principal purpose of setting the machine up for automatic production (see prEN 12415 and prEN 12478). Where additional processes are involved this standard can be taken as a basis (see also annex Bibliography). This standard applies to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of this standard.
