Abstract

This document specifies the essential safety requirements for hydraulic presses, including toggle and hydro-mechanic ones, with a vertical closing movement more than 6 mm for the moulding of plastics and/or rubber.
This document covers both compression moulding (see 3.1.1) and transfer moulding (see 3.1.2).
All hazards listed in clause 4 are covered by this document.
The following machines are excluded:
