— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate in the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards (as defined in ISO 12100:2010), the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over
the requirements of the other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the
requirements of this type-C standard.
The full set of requirements for a particular type of woodworking machine are those given in the part of the
ISO 19085 series applicable to that type, together with the relevant requirements from ISO 19085-1:2021, to
the extent specified in the Scope of the applicable part of the ISO 19085 series.
As far as possible, the safety requirements of parts of the ISO 19085 series refer to the relevant clauses
of ISO 19085-1:2021. Each part includes replacements and additions to the common requirements given in
ISO 19085-1:2021.
All parts of the ISO 19085 series have the same structure, so that reference to ISO 19085-1:2021 is made
always and only from and to the same subclause number.
Clauses 1 to 3 are specific to each part and, therefore are distinct from ISO 19085-1:2021, Clauses 1 to 3.
For Clauses 4 to 7 and the annexes, each subclause in ISO 19085-1:2021, is cited as:
— confirmed as a whole;
— confirmed with additions;
— excluded in total; or
— replaced with specific text.
This is indicated by one of the following possible statements:
— “ISO 19085-1:2021, [subclause/Annex], applies.”;

ISO 19085-9:2024(en)
— “ISO 19085-1:2021, [subclause/Annex], applies with the following additions.” or “ISO 19085-1:2021,
[subclause/Annex], applies with the following additions, subdivided into further specific subclauses.”;
— “ISO 19085-1:2021, [subclause/Annex], does not apply.”;
— “ISO 19085-1:2021, [subclause/Annex], is replaced by the following text.” or “ISO 19085-1:2021,
[subclause/Annex], is replaced by the following text, subdivided into further specific subclauses.”.
Other subclauses and annexes specific to this document are indicated by the introductory sentence:
“Subclause/Annex specific to this document.”.

Woodworking machines — Safety —
Part 9:
Circular saw benches (with and without sliding table)
1 Scope
This document specifies the safety requirements and measures for circular saw benches with or without
sliding table or demountable power feed unit or both and capable of continuous production use, also known
as “table saws” (in the USA), hereinafter referred to also as “machines”.
The machines are designed to cut solid wood and material with similar physical characteristics to wood (see
ISO 19085-1:2021, 3.2).
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Annex A
relevant to the machines when operated, adjusted and maintained as intended and under the conditions
foreseen by the manufacturer; reasonably foreseeable misuse has been considered too. Transport, assembly,
dismantling, disabling and scrapping phases have also been taken into account.
This document is also applicable to machines fitted with one or more of the following devices or working
units, whose hazards have been dealt with:
— device for the main saw blade and scoring saw blade to be raised and lowered through the table;
— device to tilt the main saw blade and scoring saw blade for angled cutting;
— device for scoring;
— device for grooving with milling tool with a width not exceeding 20 mm in one pass;
— demountable power feed unit;
— additional manually operated sliding table;
— powered workpiece clamping device.
This document does not apply to:
a) machines intended for outdoor use on building sites;
NOTE Building site saws (contractor saws) are covered by the requirements of ISO 19085-10:2018.
b) handheld woodworking machines including any adaptation permitting their use in a different mode, i.e.
bench mounting;
c) machines intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere;
d) machines manufactured prior to the publication of this document.
