NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 4) (First Revision) which is identical to ISO 12643-4 : 2023 'Graphic technology - Safety requirements for graphic technology equipment and systems - Part 4: Converting equipment and systems', issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Printing Machinery Sectional Committee and approval of the Mechanical Engineering Division Council.

This standard was first published in 2014. In this revision the following major changes have been incorporated:

a) In 3, terms and definitions, in particular concerning corrugated board machinery, have been added;

b) A new clause 4 has been added and subsequent clauses have been renumbered;

c) Throughout the document, requirements related to hazards dealt with in ISO 12643-1 : 2023 have been deleted (for example, safeguarding automatic reel loading in 6.2);

d) In 6, the requirements for machinery for the production of corrugated board, for example, terminological amendments, has been revised;

e) Figure 14 has been updated;

f) In 6.3.3, the description of measures to safeguard the movable splicer module have been revised;

g) In 6.8.2, an exception to the continued running of glue rollers in the gluing unit in case of an emergency stop has been added;

h) In 6.16.1, limitation of the speed of the conveyor belt to 45 m/min, if access is required for production reasons, has been specified;

j) Clause 7 has been revised;

k) In 8, the requirement to safeguard entry into the pile carrier plate with ESPDs has been amended;

m) In 9.2.4, requirement for residual pile monitoring as safety device set to PL d/SIL 2, and a figure showing the safeguarding of hazard points outside the side-lays on feeders has been added;

n) In 10, requirements on safeguarding the delivery on automatic flatbed die-cutting machines (sheet gripper system, analog ISO 12643-2 : 2023) have been added;

p) In 13, a sub-clause on requirements for interlocks has been added;

q) Clause 14, which is also applicable to machinery for the production of interfolded facial tissues, has been added (taken and adapted from EN 1010-5);

r) A new Clause 15 has been added;

s) In 16, a table on the verification of the safety requirements and/or protective/risk reduction measures has been added;

t) A new Annex A with a list of significant hazards has been added; and

u) In Annex B, an example of noise declaration for paper converting machines has been added.

This standard is published in various parts. Other parts in this series are:

Part 1 General requirements

Part 2 Prepress and press equipment and systems

Part 3 Binding and Finishing Equipment and Systems

Part 5 Manually-fed stand-alone platen presses

The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standard. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
