Overview

EN ISO 11111-6:2005/A1:2009 - Textile machinery - Safety requirements - Part 6: Fabric manufacturing machinery - Amendment 1 is a CEN/ISO amendment that updates the Part 6 safety rules for fabric manufacturing machines (looms, weaving and related machinery). Prepared by ISO/TC 72 in collaboration with CEN/TC 214, this amendment revises normative references and specific safety clauses to reflect newer standards and clarified machine safety practices.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Updated normative references: replaces older editions with newer standards such as ISO 11111-1:2009, ISO 13849-1:2006, ISO 13850:2006, and later editions of IEC 61496; adds IEC 62061:2005 and ISO/DIS 13857:2006.
• List of significant hazards: cross-references updated to ISO 11111-1:2009 for hazard identification and risk assessment.
• Weaving-machine specifics:
  • Emphasis on sensitive protective equipment (SPE), including active opto-electronic protective devices (AOPD), located to prevent reaching hazard zones (AOPD to comply at least with Type 2 per IEC 61496 series).
  • Rules for start-up control: manual start permitted only if all guards/safety devices are in position and an optical warning signal is activated until normal production speed is reached; similar optical signaling required for automatic restart sequences.
  • For heavy-duty weaving machines (≥ 8 m width), the safety-related control system must meet Performance Level PL = d (ISO 13849-1:2006) or SIL = 2 (IEC 62061:2005), unless a risk assessment justifies lower levels.
  • Clarification that healdframe crushing/shearing incidents are low probability; safeguarding may not be required but risks must be documented in the machine handbook.
• Knitting and special fabric machines:
  • Requirements for SPE placement (e.g., covering rapier paths) and allowance for muting when grippers move away from danger zones.
  • Options for protection include fence guards (per ISO 11111-1:2009 and ISO/DIS 13857) or SPE (AOPD, pressure-sensitive edges) as appropriate.

Applications - who uses this standard

• Machine manufacturers and designers of looms, rapier, Jacquard, knitting and carpet weaving equipment
• Safety engineers and risk assessors implementing machine guarding and control-system safety
• Compliance and conformity assessors, notified bodies and regulatory authorities (to demonstrate alignment with EC directives)
• Maintenance personnel, technical authors creating instruction handbooks and safety documentation

Related standards (high relevance)

• ISO 11111-1:2009 - Part 1: Common requirements
• ISO 13849-1:2006 - Safety-related parts of control systems
• IEC 62061:2005 - Functional safety of machinery control systems
• IEC 61496 series - Electro-sensitive protective equipment
• ISO 13850:2006 - Emergency stop principles
• ISO 14122 series / ISO 13857 - Means of access and safety distances

This amendment modernizes fabric manufacturing safety requirements, aligns Part 6 with current control-system and protective-device standards, and clarifies practical safeguards and signalling for weaving and knitting machinery.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
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. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
