This part of ISO 12643 provides safety specifications for the design and construction of new machines used in printing press systems and in binding and finishing systems. It includes equipment used in a stand-alone mode, or in combination with other machines, including ancillary equipment, in which all the machine actuators (e.g. drives) of the equipment are controlled by the same control system. The requirements listed in this part of ISO 12643 are applicable to the equipment covered by all parts of ISO 12643, unless otherwise noted. Requirements specific to press and binding and finishing equipment and systems, that are not included in this part of ISO 12643, are given in ISO 12643-2 and ISO 12643-3, respectively.

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 12643-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 130, Graphic technology.
This first edition of ISO 12643-1, together with ISO 12643-2, cancels and replaces ISO 12648:2006, which
has been technically revised. This edition of ISO 12643-1, together with ISO 12643-3, cancels and replaces
ISO 12649:2004, which has been technically revised.
ISO 12643 consists of the following parts, under the general title Graphic technology — Safety requirements
for graphic technology equipment and systems:

Introduction
During the development of this part of ISO 12643, existing relevant standards of other countries were taken
into consideration. An effort has been made to take into consideration the requirements of many countries,
recognizing that national standards or laws may dictate national requirements. In cases where it was known
that there is a national requirement that differs from this part of ISO 12643, that has been noted.
This part of ISO 12643 was developed to harmonize the following U.S. and European safety standards:
⎯ ANSI B65.1, Graphic technology — Safety standard — Printing press systems;
⎯ ANSI B65.2, Binding and Finishing Systems;
⎯ ANSI B65.3, Safety standard — Guillotine paper cutters, mill trimmers, and integral handling equipment;
⎯ ANSI B65.4, Safety standard — Three-knife trimmers, including rotary, and single- and multiple-knife
trimmers;
⎯ EN 1010-1, Safety of machinery — Safety requirements for the design and construction of printing and
paper converting machines — Part 1: Common requirements;
⎯ EN 1010-2, Safety of machinery — Safety requirements for the design and construction of printing and
paper converting machines — Part 2: Printing and varnishing machines including pre-press machinery;
⎯ EN 1010-3, Safety of machinery — Safety requirements for the design and construction of printing and
paper converting machines — Part 3: Cutting machines;
⎯ EN 1010-4, Safety of machinery — Safety requirements for the design and construction of printing and

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 12643-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 130, Graphic technology.
This first edition of ISO 12643-1, together with ISO 12643-2, cancels and replaces ISO 12648:2006, which
has been technically revised. This edition of ISO 12643-1, together with ISO 12643-3, cancels and replaces
ISO 12649:2004, which has been technically revised.
ISO 12643 consists of the following parts, under the general title Graphic technology — Safety requirements
for graphic technology equipment and systems:

Introduction
During the development of this part of ISO 12643, existing relevant standards of other countries were taken
into consideration. An effort has been made to take into consideration the requirements of many countries,
recognizing that national standards or laws may dictate national requirements. In cases where it was known
that there is a national requirement that differs from this part of ISO 12643, that has been noted.
This part of ISO 12643 was developed to harmonize the following U.S. and European safety standards:
⎯ ANSI B65.1, Graphic technology — Safety standard — Printing press systems;
⎯ ANSI B65.2, Binding and Finishing Systems;
⎯ ANSI B65.3, Safety standard — Guillotine paper cutters, mill trimmers, and integral handling equipment;
⎯ ANSI B65.4, Safety standard — Three-knife trimmers, including rotary, and single- and multiple-knife
trimmers;
⎯ EN 1010-1, Safety of machinery — Safety requirements for the design and construction of printing and
paper converting machines — Part 1: Common requirements;
⎯ EN 1010-2, Safety of machinery — Safety requirements for the design and construction of printing and
paper converting machines — Part 2: Printing and varnishing machines including pre-press machinery;
⎯ EN 1010-3, Safety of machinery — Safety requirements for the design and construction of printing and
paper converting machines — Part 3: Cutting machines;
⎯ EN 1010-4, Safety of machinery — Safety requirements for the design and construction of printing and
paper converting machines — Part 4: Bookbinding, paper converting and finishing machines.

Part 1:
General requirements
1 Scope
This part of ISO 12643 provides safety specifications for the design and construction of new machines used in
printing press systems and in binding and finishing systems. It includes equipment used in a stand-alone
mode, or in combination with other machines, including ancillary equipment, in which all the machine
actuators (e.g. drives) of the equipment are controlled by the same control system.
The requirements listed in this part of ISO 12643 are applicable to the equipment covered by all parts of
ISO 12643, unless otherwise noted. Requirements specific to press and binding and finishing equipment and
systems, that are not included in this part of ISO 12643, are given in ISO 12643-2 and ISO 12643-3,
respectively.
This part of ISO 12643 addresses recognized hazards specific to equipment and systems in the following
areas:
⎯ mechanical;
⎯ electrical;
⎯ slipping, tripping, falling;
⎯ ergonomics;
⎯ noise;
⎯ radiation;
⎯ fire and explosion;
⎯ thermal;
⎯ other emissions.
It is advisable that technologies not identified in this part of ISO 12643 incorporate the safety principles set
forth herein in their design.
