This Standard specifies the technical safety requirements and measures to be adopted by persons undertaking the design, construction and supply (including installation and dismantling, with arrangements for transport and maintenance) of milling machines including machines capable of performing boring operations.
Machines covered by this Standard include but are not limited to -
(a) knee and column type milling machines (see Figures D1 and D2);
(b) bed-type milling machines (see Figure D3);
(c) multi-spindle milling machines (see Figures D4 and D5);
(d) plano-milling machines (see Figures D4 and D5);
(e) profile and contouring milling machines (see Figure D6); and
(f) milling and boring machines (see Figure D7).
This Standard also applies to workpiece transfer devices when they form an integral part of the machine.
This Standard takes account of intended use including reasonably foreseeable misuse, maintenance, cleaning, and setting operations. It presumes access to the machine from all directions. It describes means to reduce risks to both operators and other exposed persons.
