0 IS0 IS0 11553:1996(E) Foreword IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard IS0 11553 was prepared by Technical Committee lSO/TC 172, Optics and optical instruments, Subcommittee SC 9, Electra-optical systems, in collaboration with CEN/TC 123, Lasers and laser related equipment, and was correlated with lEC/TC 76. Annex A forms an integral part of C and D are for information only. this International Standard. Annexes B I SIST EN 12626:1998
IS0 11553:1996(E) 0 IS0 Introduction The Machinery Safety Directive issued by the Council of the EEC outlines essential and mandatory requirements that must be met in order to ensure that machinery is safe. In response, CEN/CENELEC initiated a programme to produce safety standards for machines and their applications. This International Standard is one in that series. It has been prepared as a harmonized standard to provide a means of conforming with the essential safety requirements of the Machinery Di- rective and associated EFTA Regulations. The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope. Ma- chinery should comply as appropriate with lSO/TR 12100 for hazards which are not covered by this International Standard. It is applicable to machines using laser radiation to process materials. The purpose of this International Standard is to prevent injuries to persons - by listing potential hazards generated by machines containing lasers; - by specifying safety measures and verifications necessary for reducing the risk caused by specific hazardous conditions; - by providing references to pertinent standards; - by specifying the information which is to be supplied to the users so that they can establish proper procedures and precautions.

SIST EN 12626:1998
0 IS0 IS0 11553:1996(E) 4.2 Hazards created by external effects (interferences) Power conditions and the environment in which the machine operates may cause the machine to mal- function, thus giving rise to hazardous conditions and/or making it necessary for someone to intervene within hazard zones. Additional environmental interferences include: - temperature; - humidity; - external shock/vibration; - vapours, dust or gases from the environment; - electromagnetic/radio frequency interference; - source voltage interruption/fluctuation; - insufficient hardware/software compatibility and integrity. 4.3 Hazards covered by this International Standard Only radiation hazards, and hazards generated by the laser interaction with materials and substances are dealt with in this International Standard. Information concerning other hazards is given in annex B. 5 Safety requirements and measures 5.1 General requirements Manufacturers shall ensure the safety or laser pro- cessing machines by: - hazard identification and analysis; - implementation of safety measures; - certification and verification of the safety meas- u res; - provision of appropriate information for the user. Based on the hazard identification (see 5.2) appropri- ate safety measures shall be incorporated into the laser processing machine by design and manufacture. The following requirements shall be satisfied: a ) each manufacturer shall comply with the safety requirements and measures stipulated in this clause; b) the manufacturer of an installed machine shall be responsible for the compliance of the whole ma- chine, including subassemblies. NOTE 3 These requirements apply even if the manufac- turer and the customer/user are the same legal entity. These measures shall take into account each hazard listed in clause 4, the results of the hazard analysis and information in annexes 8, C and D. 5.2 Risk assessment A risk assessment shall be performed a) for all phases of machine “life” (as applicable); for examples see ISO/TR 12100-I; b) after each modification of the machine by the person or organization responsible for the modifi- cation. A risk assessment includes but is not limited to a) hazards listed in 4.1 and 4.2; b) danger zones, particularly those associated with the laser system, the laser beam path/beam delivery system, the process zone; c) “interferences” listed in 4.2. The results of the risk assessment shall be duly documented. 53 . Implementation of corrective measures Safety measures shall be incorporated in the machine by design and manufacture as specified in 5.3.1 to 5.3.3. 5.3.1 Protection against laser radiation hazards 5.3.1 .I General The possibility that people be exposed to levels of laser radiation exceeding the accessible emission limit (AEL) for Class 1 shall be eliminated during production (normal or otherwise). Access to radiation in excess of AEL for Class 3A shall be eliminated for mainten- 3 SIST EN 12626:1998
IS0 11553:1996(E) 0 IS0 ante. To satisfy this, the following requirements shall be met. a) Unauthorized human access to a danger zone shall be prevented by engineering measures as stipulated in IEC 825-l and lSO/TR 12100. b) If human presence in a danger zone is unavoid- able while the machine is functioning (for example during servicing), the machine shall be equipped with means for direct control of machine motion, beam direction and beam stop (see 5.3.2.5). c) The design of protective devices, such as shut- ters, guards, beam dissipation devices, trip de- vices and deterring/impeding devices shall meet the requirements specified in IEC 825-l and lSO/TR 12100. In cases of ambiguity or difference of interpretation between lSO/rR 12100 and IEC 825-1, the first two sentences of 5.3.1 .I shall be definitive. d) One and the same protective device may be used to provide simultaneous protection against more than one hazard. In addition to the requirements of c), guards shall comply with requirements specified in annex Al). 5.3.1.2 Protection during production The principal danger zone is usually the process zone. At the process zone, one or more guards shall prevent human access during normal production to levels of laser radiation higher than the AEL for Class 1. The hazard analysis shall indicate which type of guarding - local protection or peripheral protection - is to be used. Local protection is a method of guarding to reduce laser radiation and associated optical radiation to a safe level - for example by means of a nozzle or a small guard fitted close to the beam focus at the workpiece - without totally enclosing the workpiece, the workpiece support and/or machine motion sys- tem. Peripheral protection is a method of guarding to re- duce laser radiation and associated optical radiation to a safe level by means of one or more distant guards (for example a protective enclosure) that enclose the workpiece, workpiece support and, usually, most of the machine motion system. The sort of protection will depend on several factors, for instance: - the direction (fixed or variable) of beam propa- gation with regard to the workpiece; - the type of machining operation to be realized (cutting, welding, etc.); - the material and shape of the workpiece to be processed; - the workpiece support; - the visibility of the process zone. 5.3.1.3 Protection during service During service procedures, human access to laser radiation exceeding the AEL for Class 1 is sometimes unavoidable. Machines shall therefore be designed and appropriate safety measures provided, with re- spect to the following four situations (listed in order of preference): a) b) Servicing takes place outside danger zones. Servicing takes place in danger zones to which access is controlled in the same manner as during production (for example interlocked cover). d Servicing takes place in a danger zone (for example with open guards th
