The safety requirements and/or protective measures and information for use contained in clauses 5 and 7 are based on a risk assessment and deal with the identified hazards by either eliminating them or reducing the effects of the risks they generate. 4.2 The risk assessment assumes foreseeable access from all directions, as well as unexpected and unintended strokes or gravity falls. Risks to both the operators and other persons who can have access to the danger zones are identified, taking into account hazards which can occur under various conditions of intended use (e.g. commissioning, tool setting, production, maintenance, repair, decommissioning, dismantling - see also 3.11 of EN 292-1:1991) during the life of the machine. The assessment includes an analysis of the effect of failure in the control system. 4.3 The user of this standard (i.e. the designer, manufacturer, supplier) shall check that the list of significant hazards in Table 1 is complete for the machine under consideration. If the user determines that there are additional hazards then he shall analyse and evaluate the risks associated with these hazards in accordance with EN 1050 with particular attention to the intended use of the machine (e.g. commissioning, tool setting, production, maintenance, repair, decommissioning, dismantling - see also 3.11 of EN 292-1:1991), and its reasonably foreseeable misuse.

5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures 5.1 Introduction Pneumatic presses shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause. In addition, the pneumatic press shall be designed according to the principles of EN 292 for hazards relevant but not significant which are not dealt with by this standard. The methods or measures to be implemented to eliminate the significant hazards or reduce their associated risks are detailed in this clause in the following manner:  basic design considerations for major press components or systems (see 5.2); SIST EN 13736:2003+A1:2009



EN 13736:2003+A1:2009 (E) 13  safeguarding against mechanical hazards in the tools area under different modes of production (see 5.3 and Tables 2, 3 and 4);  protection against hazards due to control system or control component failures (see 5.4);  safeguarding against hazards which can occur during tool setting, trial strokes, maintenance and lubrication (see 5.5);  safeguarding against other hazards (see 5.6 to 5.8). 5.2 Basic design considerations 5.2.1 Prevention of unintended gravity fall during production (down-stroking press) 5.2.1.1 Where there is a risk of injury (mass of the mobile component exceeding 15 kg) measures shall be provided to prevent injury from unintended gravity fall of the slide/ram in the production mode with manual or automatic feed or removal (see Tables 2 and 3). Such a fall may be due to a failure of the pneumatic system, mechanical failure or a failure of the electrical control system. The risk shall be prevented by a mechanical and/or a pneumatic restraint device or a combination of the two. The restraint device(s) shall operate automatically and shall be effective whenever the tool is stopped and operator access to the tools is possible. 5.2.1.2 The restraint device may consist of any of the following measures, provided that they are capable of holding up the slide/ram: a) return spring; b) clamping device; c) one, or if necessary, for flow consideration, two restraint valves fitted to the cylinder outlet. NOTE 1 See also 5.4.1.2 and 5.4.1.3 for the control system requirements to prevent unintended strokes. NOTE 2 Automatic monitoring of the check valve(s) is not required. 5.2.2 Prevention of gravity fall during maintenance or repair Where there is a risk of injury (mass of the mobile component exceeding 15 kg), measures shall be provided to prevent injury from a gravity fall of the slide/ram during maintenance or repair, either: a) the mechanical restraint device as refered to 5.2.1 shall be designed to conform to 5.2.1.2 a or b; or b) a scotch shall be provided for manual insertion into the press. Where the mechanical restraint device or the scotch is not capable of absorbing the entire press force, it shall be interlocked to the press control so that the closing stroke cannot be performed while the device is in position and the press slide/ram is retained in the up position according to EN 1037. 5.2.3 Pneumatic systems 5.2.3.1 Pneumatic system shall be designed in accordance with the requirements of EN 983 and in addition. 5.2.3.2 Filters, pressure regulators and water separators shall be provided. 5.2.3.3 Devices shall be provided to ensure that the permitted range of working pressure is maintained (see 7.2.2). 5.2.3.4 Pressurized transparent bowls (e.g. glass, plastic) shall be protected to prevent injury from flying particles without affecting visibility. SIST EN 13736:2003+A1:2009



EN 13736:2003+A1:2009 (E) 14 5.2.3.5 All piping, pipe connector, passages, surge or storage tanks and cored or drilled holes, shall be free from burrs or foreign matter which might cause damage to valves (see 5.3.4.2.3 of EN 983:1996). 5.2.3.6 Each run of piping shall, where practicable, be continuous from one piece of apparatus to another. Precautions shall be taken to prevent damage by thermal expansion. Rigid piping shall be securely supported at frequent intervals to avoid vibration or movement. Care shall be taken to avoid kinking of flexible pipes used to carry fluids. Such kinking can cause traps which prevent the fluid exhausting. 5.2.3.7 Where a drop in pressure can lead to unintended hazardous motion of the slide/ram, pipes and pipe connectors shall be chosen to prevent such a loss of pressure. Such pipe connectors shall not be made with, glued rings or similar devices. 5.2.3.8 Operating valves shall be fitted to a plate or to the cylinder. This is to avoid undesirable effects from vibration which can affect both valves and piping. 5.2.3.9 Control valves and other control components (e.g. regulators, manometers) shall be mounted in positions which provide accessibility and avoid damage (see 5.2.1 of EN 983:1996). 5.2.3.10 Where valves are manually or mechanically (as distinct from electrically) operated, the arrangements for restoring the valves shall automatically move the valve to the safe position (see also 5.4.7). NOTE The safe position can be the open or closed position of a valve, depending upon the well-tried principles in the pneumatic circuit. 5.2.3.11 Where va
