NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 5) (First Revision) which is identical to ISO 12643 (Part 5) : 2023 'Graphic technology - Safety requirements for graphic technology equipment and systems - Part 5: Standalone platen presses', 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 clause 3, definitions for different operation modes (single stroke mode, dwell mode, continuous operation mode) have been added;

b) In 4.2, figures showing examples for safeguarding side access have been included;

c) In 4.3, the requirements for safeguarding access from the front side have been revised, differentiating the requirements for small platen presses with a platen table width less than or equal to 1 m and large ones with a platen table width wider than 1 m;

d) In 4.4, requirements for the positioning of laser scanners have been included;

e) In 4.5, requirements when using vision based protective devices (VBPD) for the detection of persons on the platen, including calculation of the safety distance have been included;

f) In 4.6, the requirements for timer controlled operation have been revised;

g) In 4.7, the requirements for stopping distance and performance have been revised;

h) In clause 6, requirements for the content of the instruction handbook have been added; and

j) The list of significant hazards has been moved to an informative Annex A.

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 4 Converting Equipment and Systems

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.
