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

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.

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.

ISO 11111-6 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 72, Textile machinery and machinery for dry-

cleaning and industrial laundering, Subcommittee SC 8, Safety requirements for textile machinery.

This first edition of ISO 11111-6, together with ISO 11111-1, ISO 11111-2, ISO 11111-3, ISO 11111-4,

ISO 11111-5 and ISO 11111-7, cancels and replaces ISO 11111:1995, which has been technically revised.

ISO 11111 consists of the following parts, under the general title Textile machinery — Safety requirements:

 Part 1: Common requirements
 Part 2: Spinning preparatory and spinning machines
 Part 3: Nonwoven machinery
 Part 4: Yarn processing, cordage and rope manufacturing machinery
 Part 5: Preparatory machinery to weaving and knitting

ISO 11111-6:2005(E)
Introduction

ISO 11111-1 to ISO 11111-7 were prepared simultaneously by ISO/TC 72 and CEN/TC 214 and adopted

under the Vienna Agreement in order to obtain identical standards on technical safety requirements for the

design and construction of textile machinery.

ISO 11111 as a whole is intended for use by any person concerned with the safety of textile machinery, for

example, textile machinery designers, manufacturers and systems integrators. It is also of interest to users of

textile machines and safety experts.

This document is a type C standard as stated in ISO 12100-1. The various parts of ISO 11111 deal with

frequent and significant hazards generated by machines used in the textile industry. The machinery

concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this standard.

When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the

provisions of this type C standard take precedence.

For hazards of machines or machine elements not dealt with in the relevant part of ISO 11111, the designer is

to perform a risk assessment according to ISO 14121 and evolve means for reducing the risk from significant

hazards.

This part of ISO 11111 is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 11111-1. As far as possible, the

requirements of this part of ISO 11111 are treated by way of reference to Clauses 5 and 6 of ISO 11111-1.

Clause 5 of ISO 11111-1 contains safety requirements and/or measures for frequently occurring hazards of

textile machinery which apply whenever referred to in this part of ISO 11111, while Clause 6 describes

significant hazards and corresponding safety requirements and/or measures for certain machine elements and

their combinations (e.g. rollers), which also apply whenever referred to in this part of ISO 11111.

SIST EN ISO 11111-6:2005
ISO 11111-6:2005(E)
Specific safety requirements

a) Start-up by unintended or inadvertent actuation shall be prevented by start controls designed so as to

reduce the risk of an operator either inadvertently actuating the control (e.g. by leaning on it) or actuating

the wrong control (e.g. starting at normal speed instead of reduced running speed), see

ISO 11111-1:2005, Table 6. Such controls may be
1) two-button control devices, or

2) control actuators with a movement different from other control actuators (e.g. pull out instead of

press).

b) Guards and/or safety devices shall be provided for the crushing and shearing points between the reed

and fixed parts such as temple assembling (including temple cover, temple trough and temple support) or

“down-holder” or cloth table in order to prevent the machine starting to move (start-up protection) when

the operator's fingers are in the danger zone (see Figure 1). This includes start-up for

 single pick insertion,
 normal production speed,
 reduced running speed, and
 restart after automatic broken weft removal.
This safe-guarding may be in the form of the following:

1) trip device(s), e.g. active-opto-electronic protective devices (AOPD), complying with type 2, as

defined in IEC 61496-1 and IEC 61496-2, which, if in the form of AOPD, shall be in accordance with

ISO 11111-1:2005, Table 3 — i.e. reaching the hazard zone shall not possible without activating the

AOPD (see Figure 1) — and may be deactivated immediately after the machine has reached its

normal production speed, unless used additionally to protect the danger zone between the moving

sley and fixed machine parts [see 5.2.1 c)];

2) movable interlocked covers, covering the crushing area between the temple and the reed, designed

to prevent finger access.

c) Guards or safety devices shall be provided for the crushing, shearing and impact points to the left and

right of the shed between the ends of the moving sley and fixed parts of the machine, during both start-up

and normal running. These may be in the form of one of the following:
1) adjustable fixed guards;
2) movable interlocked guards;

3) trip devices so positioned that the danger zones cannot be reached before the machine has stopped

and so designed that the machine cannot be restarted as long as parts of the body are inside the

danger zone, and which type of safety device may, for example, be fitted to slow-running, wide-width

heavy-duty weaving machines, such as paper felt weaving machines.
