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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 19085-15:2021), which has been
technically revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— the Scope now specifies that machines are intended for continuous production use;
— the list of significant hazards has been moved to new Annex A;
— the structure has been simplified and modified, in particular in 5.6;
— Subclause 6.2 has been updated and the noise test code has been moved to Annex F.

Introduction
The ISO 19085 series of International Standards provides technical safety requirements for the
design and construction of woodworking machinery. It concerns designers, manufacturers, suppliers
and importers of the machines specified in the Scope. It also includes a list of informative items to be
provided the user by the manufacturer.
This document is a type-C standard as stated in ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the
market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organisations, market surveillance etc.)
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e. g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at 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, 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 ISO 19085 applicable to that type, together with the relevant requirements from ISO 19085-1, to the
extent specified in the Scope of the applicable part of ISO 19085.
As far as possible, the safety requirements of parts of the ISO 19085 series refer to the relevant
subclauses of ISO 19085-1. Each part contains replacements and additions to the common requirements
given in ISO 19085-1.
Clauses 1 to 3 are specific to each part and, therefore, replace ISO/FDIS 19085-1:2021, Clauses 1 to 3.
For Clauses 4 to 7 and the annexes, ISO/FDIS 19085-1:2020, Clauses 4 to 7 and Annexes, each subclause
can be:
— 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 19085-1:2021, [subclause/Annex], does not apply.”;
— “ISO 19085-1:2021, [subclause/Annex], is replaced by the following text.” or “ISO 19085-1:2021,
