Overview

EN 12622:2009/FprA1 is a European standard amendment focusing on the Safety of Machine Tools, specifically Hydraulic Press Brakes. Developed and maintained by the CEN Technical Committee CEN/TC 143 "Machine tools - Safety," this amendment updates the safety signs used on hydraulic press brakes to reflect current international safety symbol standards. It aligns with the essential safety requirements outlined by EU Directives, helping manufacturers, operators, and safety professionals maintain compliance and ensure a secure working environment.

This amendment replaces and updates markings in Annex F and revises references in the bibliography to align with ISO 7010 graphical symbols standards for safety signs.


Key Topics

  • Updated Safety Signs: The amendment replaces previous warning symbols with new ones based on ISO 7010:2011 and its amendments from 2012. These symbols include:

    • Warning of hand crushing hazards between the press brake tool.
    • Warning of hand crushing hazards between the press brake and the material.
    • Warning of rapid movement of the workpiece within the press brake.
  • Visual Markings (Annex F): The previous list of safety signs is substituted with the updated ISO-compliant signs, improving clarity and harmonization across European and international safety standards.

  • Bibliography Updates: The amendment adds references to the ISO 7010 standard and its related amendments, ensuring the standard’s foundation reflects the latest safety sign protocols.

  • Compliance with EU Directives: This amendment supports compliance with essential safety directives within the European Union and the European Free Trade Association.


Applications

EN 12622:2009/FprA1 is highly relevant for:

  • Manufacturers of Hydraulic Press Brakes
    Ensuring that all safety signs conform to updated international standards and regulations.

  • Safety Inspectors and Compliance Officers
    Facilitating audit processes by referencing standardized safety markings approved across Europe.

  • Operators and Maintenance Personnel
    Enhancing user awareness through clear, universally recognized pictograms that reduce risks of injury, particularly hand crushing incidents and accidental contact with moving workpieces.

  • Workplace Safety Programs
    Integrating updated safety sign requirements into training and hazard communication strategies to boost overall machine tool safety.
