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 document 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).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed
patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received
notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are

Introduction
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 and in Clause 5 of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or 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.
This document was developed to harmonize the requirements of the following U.S. and European safety
standards:
— EN 1010-1:2004+A1:2010;
— EN 1010-2:2006+A1:2010;
— EN 1010-3:2002+A1:2009;

— ANSI B65-1:2011;
— ANSI B65-2:2011;
— ANSI B65-3:2011;
— ANSI B65-5:2011.
Requirements specific to prepress and press equipment and systems, binding and finishing equipment
and systems, converting equipment and systems, corrugated board manufacturing equipment and
systems and stand-alone platen presses that are not included in this document, are given in subsequent
parts of ISO 12643 that contain additional requirements specific to that type of equipment.

unless otherwise noted. This document is intended to be used in conjunction with the applicable part of
ISO 12643 that contains additional requirements specific to a particular type of equipment.
This document addresses recognized significant hazards specific to equipment and systems in the
following areas:
— mechanical;
— electrical;
— slipping, tripping, falling;
— ergonomics;
— noise;
— UV and laser radiation;
— fire and explosion;
— thermal;
— substances and material used for processing;
— failure, malfunction of control system;
— other types of emissions [e.g. ozone, ink mist, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), etc.].
This document is not applicable to:
— equipment manufactured before the date of its publication;
— ordinary office equipment for digital printing and paper processing, such as digital printers, copiers,
sorters, binders and staplers, which is intended for use outside the printing and paper industry;
— winder-slitters and sheeters in paper finishing (sheeters with unwinders);
— office-type collating machines equipped with friction feeders;
— mail processing machines;
ISO 12643-1:2023(E)
— machines used for filling packages (such as machines for shaping, filling, and closing the package);
and
— textile printing presses.
The safety principles established in this document can also be applicable to the design of equipment
within areas of technology that are not specified in ISO 12643 (all parts).
