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 12643-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 130, Graphic technology.
This first edition, together with ISO 12643-1, cancels and replaces ISO 12649:2004.
ISO 12643 consists of the following parts, under the general title Graphic technology — Safety requirements
for graphic technology equipment and systems:
⎯ Part 1: General requirements
⎯ Part 2: Press equipment and systems
⎯ Part 3: Binding and finishing equipment and systems
The following parts are under preparation:
⎯ Part 4: Converting equipment and systems
⎯ Part 5: Stand-alone platen presses

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 harmonize the requirements of all 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 B65.2, 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 1010-3, 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.

ISO 12643-3:2008(E)
4 Effective date
This part of ISO 12643 applies to new machines manufactured after December 31 of the year following the
year of issue of this part of ISO 12643.
5 Guarding of significant hazards
5.1 General
Guarding, consistent with operation of the machine, shall be provided in those areas where it is recognized
that operators are exposed to significant hazards. The guarding requirements of ISO 12643-1 shall apply. See
Annex A for a list of hazards associated with binding and finishing equipment and systems.
5.2 Safeguarding of crushing and shearing hazards
Automatic travel of movable components shall not create any significant mechanical hazards.
This can be achieved, for example, by limiting the force of the component movement. The following guidelines
are suggested:
a) 50 N or less where the likely contact surface of the guard is a blunt edge or projection and there is no risk
of cutting or stabbing injuries; or
b) 150 N or less where the likely contact surface of the guard is a plane such that there is no risk of a
crushing injury.
Higher values can be chosen based upon risk analysis.
5.3 Interlocks
5.3.1 Exception for machine motion at inching speed
If a machine is operating at inching speed and under conditions defined in ISO 12643-1, motion may continue.
5.3.2 Exception for machine motion at production speed
This exception shall apply only to the specific machines identified in this part of ISO 12643, and does not
apply to all equipment.
NOTE This exception might not comply with current European standards or the Machinery Directive.
There may be parts of the equipment that cannot be observed or adjusted with the guard closed, and it may
be necessary for an authorized person to access this area with an interlocked guard open. Under these
circumstances, alternative safety measures shall be taken. All adjustments shall be made from outside the
hazardous area.
The following alternative safety measures shall be taken.
a) A mechanical key lock shall be provided adjacent to the access area. There shall be only one key for this
lock. The key for this lock shall be accessible only by an authorized person.
b) The key lock shall operate as a hold-to-run device as follows:
1) inserting the key shall initiate a timer that has a maximum setting of 2 min;
2) turning the key shall override the guard interlock of only that guard, up to the preset time limit;
© ISO 2008 – All rights reserved 5

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 12643-3:2008(E)
3) as long as the key is held in the turned position, the guard may be opened with machine motion at
production speed until such time as the timer reaches the preset time limit;
4) when the key is released, it shall automatically return to the neutral position and the guard interlock
shall be automatically reactivated;
5) if the key remains in the lock for more than 2 min, the interlock on the guard shall be automatically
reactivated and the equipment safety system shall stop machine motion.
c) The bypassing means shall meet the requirements of category 3 of ISO 13849-1:1999.
d) When adjustments are necessary, they shall be performed from outside the hazardous area.
e) A warning label identifying the possible existing hazards with the guard open shall be provided adjacent
to the lock. The label shall clearly indicate that when the key is in the lock, the adjacent guard is
overridden.
If a machine is provided with this alternative safety measure, information regarding its safe use shall be
contained in the instruction handbook.
5.4 Guarding of hoppers and hopper feeders
5.4.1 Manually loaded hoppers
On machines using manually loaded hoppers, the hazard points on the separating elements of the hopper
feeder shall be safeguarded in accordance with 5.4.4. The exception defined in 5.3.2 may be applied to the
hopper feeder, if necessary.
5.4.2 Guarding of automatically fed hoppers
As an alternative to 5.4.1, on automatically fed hoppers where manual intervention during normal operation is
not required and the material used makes access difficult, tunnel-type guards arranged with a safety distance
of 550 mm from the nearest hazard point are considered adequate.
The exception defined in 5.3.2 may be applied to the hopper feeder, if necessary.
5.4.3 Protection of unused hoppers and hopper feeders
For hoppers that are not used and cannot be stopped, blanking boards shall be provided to safeguard the
hazard points at the separating elements.
5.4.4 Separating elements on hopper feeders
Separating elements on feeders shall be so designed that their movement does not create hazard points.
This safeguarding can be accomplished, for example, by maintaining a distance of at least 25 mm or a force
limit of 50 N between moving separating elements or between a moving element and a fixed object.
NOTE 1 Where blanks are fed from the bottom of a pile, safeguarding can be accomplished, for example, by
residual-pile monitoring of feeders, which complies with category B of ISO 13849-1:1999.
The hazard points on separating elements outside the sidelays on feeders shall be safeguarded for every
format size used. For hazard points within sidelays, residual-pile monitoring that complies with category B of
ISO 13849-1:1999 shall be used.
NOTE 2 This safeguarding can be achieved, for example, by using accordion-type bellows or additional guards.

ISO 12643-3:2008(E)
5.5 Guarding on binding and finishing machines
5.5.1 Hand-fed riveting, eyeletting and attaching machines
Hazard points between tools on riveting, eyeleting and attaching machines either shall be prevented by design
or shall be safeguarded.
NOTE 1 This requirement is satisfied, for example, by
⎯ observing a maximum distance of 4 mm between the tools in the open position; or
⎯ ensuring that the closing force of the movable tool is less than 50 N; a stronger closing force is allowed to become
effective only after a sensing device has confirmed that no part of a human body is located between the two tools.
NOTE 2 The sensing device function, for example, can be based on the fact that the work piece and a body part have
different electrical resistances or different thicknesses.
Hazard points are safeguarded if guards are provided in accordance with ISO 13852, or the machine can be
started only by two-hand control.
For machines that are not guarded by a fixed or movable guard, a work-piece support shall be provided and
two-hand controls, in accordance with ISO 12643-1 shall be used. If the work piece needs to be held by hand
outside the hazard zone, a hold-to-run control shall be provided for starting the machine instead of the
two-hand control.
5.5.2 Hand-fed flat- and saddle-stitching machines
Adjustable guards shall be provided on flat-, saddle- and combined-stitching machines (see Figure 1 and
Figure 2) for operational reasons. Instructions that describe the safe adjustment of the guards in a clear and
easily understandable format shall be provided on the machine.
This marking requirement is satisfied, for example, by providing labels that illustrate the safety distances
required for the various stitching thicknesses by means of sketches and measurements.
On combination stitching machines in the saddle-stitching mode, the guard for the upper tool shall extend to
the height of the upper edge of the lower tool (upper edge of the saddle) and shall enclose the upper tool to
prevent inadvertent access (see Figure 2).
Guarding may be either by two separate guards or a combined reversible guard. Combined reversible guards
shall therefore be suitable for saddle stitching as well as for flat stitching.
5.5.3 Gang stitchers and drum stitchers
5.5.3.1 Feeders on gang stitchers and drum stitchers
Depending on the design, fixed guards, movable guards, residual pile monitoring or other means of guarding
may be used (see Figure 3).
Where the bottom of the feeder on the transport channel side needs to remain open for functional reasons
(see Figure 4), the lower edges of the guards on the transport channel side shall be extended as low as
technically feasible.
EXAMPLE An example of a functional reason would be for the use of air vortexes.
The exception defined in 5.3.2 may be applied to the feeder, if necessary.

ISO 13852.
The transport pins shall be made of a flexible material to prevent a shearing hazard against the guard.
5.5.3.4 Transport-chain grippers on gang stitchers
A safety distance of at least 25 mm is required between transport-chain grippers and fixed machine parts.
5.5.3.5 Starting gang stitchers and drum stitchers with a guard open
Gang stitchers and drum stitchers may be started for make-ready by means of a two-hand control with
interlocking guards in the open position and at a speed greater than 10 m/min, provided that the requirements
of the exception in ISO 12643-1 are met.
5.5.3.6 Trimmer on gang stitchers and drum stitchers
The trimmer on gang stitchers and drum stitchers shall be safeguarded in accordance with 5.11.
5.5.4 Gathering machines
Gathering machines shall be guarded in accordance with 5.5.4.1 through 5.5.4.2. The exception defined in
5.3.2 may be applied, if necessary.

ISO 12643-3:2008(E) iv © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved 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 12643-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 130, Graphic technology. This first edition, together with ISO 12643-1, cancels and replaces ISO 12649:2004. ISO 12643 consists of the following parts, under the general title Graphic technology — Safety requirements for graphic technology equipment and systems: ⎯ Part 1: General requirements ⎯ Part 2: Press equipment and systems ⎯ Part 3: Binding and finishing equipment and systems The following parts are under preparation: ⎯ Part 4: Converting equipment and systems ⎯ Part 5: Stand-alone platen presses SIST ISO 12643-3:2010



ISO 12643-3:2008(E) © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved vIntroduction 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 harmonize the requirements of all 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 B65.2, 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 1010-3, 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.

ISO 12643-3:2008(E) © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved 54 Effective date This part of ISO 12643 applies to new machines manufactured after December 31 of the year following the year of issue of this part of ISO 12643. 5 Guarding of significant hazards 5.1 General Guarding, consistent with operation of the machine, shall be provided in those areas where it is recognized that operators are exposed to significant hazards. The guarding requirements of ISO 12643-1 shall apply. See Annex A for a list of hazards associated with binding and finishing equipment and systems. 5.2 Safeguarding of crushing and shearing hazards Automatic travel of movable components shall not create any significant mechanical hazards. This can be achieved, for example, by limiting the force of the component movement. The following guidelines are suggested: a) 50 N or less where the likely contact surface of the guard is a blunt edge or projection and there is no risk of cutting or stabbing injuries; or b) 150 N or less where the likely contact surface of the guard is a plane such that there is no risk of a crushing injury. Higher values can be chosen based upon risk analysis. 5.3 Interlocks 5.3.1 Exception for machine motion at inching speed If a machine is operating at inching speed and under conditions defined in ISO 12643-1, motion may continue. 5.3.2 Exception for machine motion at production speed This exception shall apply only to the specific machines identified in this part of ISO 12643, and does not apply to all equipment. NOTE This exception might not comply with current European standards or the Machinery Directive. There may be parts of the equipment that cannot be observed or adjusted with the guard closed, and it may be necessary for an authorized person to access this area with an interlocked guard open. Under these circumstances, alternative safety measures shall be taken. All adjustments shall be made from outside the hazardous area. The following alternative safety measures shall be taken. a) A mechanical key lock shall be provided adjacent to the access area. There shall be only one key for this lock. The key for this lock shall be accessible only by an authorized person. b) The key lock shall operate as a hold-to-run device as follows: 1) inserting the key shall initiate a timer that has a maximum setting of 2 min; 2) turning the key shall override the guard interlock of only that guard, up to the preset time limit; SIST ISO 12643-3:2010



ISO 12643-3:2008(E) 6 © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved 3) as long as the key is held in the turned position, the guard may be opened with machine motion at production speed until such time as the timer reaches the preset time limit; 4) when the key is released, it shall automatically return to the neutral position and the guard interlock shall be automatically reactivated; 5) if the key remains in the lock for more than 2 min, the interlock on the guard shall be automatically reactivated and the equipment safety system shall stop machine motion. c) The bypassing means shall meet the requirements of category 3 of ISO 13849-1:1999. d) When adjustments are necessary, they shall be performed from outside the hazardous area. e) A warning label identifying the possible existing hazards with the guard open shall be provided adjacent to the lock. The label shall clearly indicate that when the key is in the lock, the adjacent guard is overridden. If a machine is provided with this alternative safety measure, information regarding its safe use shall be contained in the instruction handbook. 5.4 Guarding of hoppers and hopper feeders 5.4.1 Manually loaded hoppers On machines using manually loaded hoppers, the hazard points on the separating elements of the hopper feeder shall be safeguarded in accordance with 5.4.4. The exception defined in 5.3.2 may be applied to the hopper feeder, if necessary. 5.4.2 Guarding of automatically fed hoppers As an alternative to 5.4.1, on automatically fed hoppers where manual intervention during normal operation is not required and the material used makes access difficult, tunnel-type guards arranged with a safety distance of 550 mm from the nearest hazard point are considered adequate. The exception defined in 5.3.2 may be applied to the hopper feeder, if necessary. 5.4.3 Protection of unused hoppers and hopper feeders For hoppers that are not used and cannot be stopped, blanking boards shall be provided to safeguard the hazard points at the separating elements. 5.4.4 Separating elements on hopper feeders Separating elements on feeders shall be so designed that their movement does not create hazard points. This safeguarding can be accomplished, for example, by maintaining a distance of at least 25 mm or a force limit of 50 N between moving separating elements or between a moving element and a fixed object. NOTE 1 Where blanks are fed from the bottom of a pile, safeguarding can be accomplished, for example, by residual-pile monitoring of feeders, which complies with category B of ISO 13849-1:1999. The hazard points on separating elements outside the sidelays on feeders shall be safeguarded for every format size used. For hazard points within sidelays, residual-pile monitoring that complies with category B of ISO 13849-1:1999 shall be used. NOTE 2 This safeguarding can be achieved, for example, by using accordion-type bellows or additional guards. SIST ISO 12643-3:2010



ISO 12643-3:2008(E) © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved 75.5 Guarding on binding and finishing machines 5.5.1 Hand-fed riveting, eyeletting and attaching machines Hazard points between tools on riveting, eyeleting and attaching machines either shall be prevented by design or shall be safeguarded. NOTE 1 This requirement is satisfied, for example, by ⎯ observing a maximum distance of 4 mm between the tools in the open position; or ⎯ ensuring that the closing force of the movable tool is less than 50 N; a stronger closing force is allowed to become effective only after a sensing device has confirmed that no part of a human body is located between the two tools. NOTE 2 The sensing device function, for example, can be based on the fact that the work piece and a body part have different electrical resistances or different thicknesses. Hazard points are safeguarded if guards are provided in accordance with ISO 13852, or the machine can be started only by two-hand control. For machines that are not guarded by a fixed or movable guard, a work-piece support shall be provided and two-hand controls, in accordance with ISO 12643-1 shall be used. If the work piece needs to be held by hand outside the hazard zone, a hold-to-run control shall be provided for starting the machine instead of the two-hand control. 5.5.2 Hand-fed flat- and saddle-stitching machines Adjustable guards shall be provided on flat-, saddle- and combined-stitching machines (see Figure 1 and Figure 2) for operational reasons. Instructions that describe the safe adjustment of the guards in a clear and easily understandable format shall be provided on the machine. This marking requirement is satisfied, for example, by providing labels that illustrate the safety distances required for the various stitching thicknesses by means of sketches and measurements. On combination stitching machines in the saddle-stitching mode, the guard for the upper tool shall extend to the height of the upper edge of the lower tool (upper edge of the saddle) and shall enclose the upper tool to prevent inadvertent access (see Figure 2). Guarding may be either by two separate guards or a combined reversible guard. Combined reversible guards shall therefore be suitable for saddle stitching as well as for flat stitching. 5.5.3 Gang stitchers and drum stitchers 5.5.3.1 Feeders on gang stitchers and drum stitchers Depending on the design, fixed guards, movable guards, residual pile monitoring or other means of guarding may be used (see Figure 3). Where the bottom of the feeder on the transport channel side needs to remain open for functional reasons (see Figure 4), the lower edges of the guards on the transport channel side shall be extended as low as technically feasible. EXAMPLE An example of a functional reason would be for the use of air vortexes. The exception defined in 5.3.2 may be applied to the feeder, if necessary. SIST ISO 12643-3:2010
