ISO 10472-5:1997 PDF

This part of ISO 10472 covers, together with ISO 10472-1, most significant hazards associated with flatwork ironers, feeders and folders, such as:

• cylinder and bed ironers for flatwork finishing having a contact area (for bed ironers under pressure) > 0,25 m²;
• flatwork feeding machines for the automatic feeding of flatwork into bed or cylinder ironers, or directly to folders;
• flatwork folding machines for the automatic folding of flatwork in association with cylinder and bed ironers;
• folding machines for the automatic folding of small pieces (excluding endless towels);
• multi-function machines.

This part of ISO 10472 complements the basic requirements as laid down in ISO/TR 12100-1 and ISO/TR 12100-2. It also gives guidance to the designer on assessing the risks associated with the hazards (see EN 1050) and on selecting measures for attaining the required safety level.

This part of ISO 10472 does not apply to ancillary equipment, e. g chemical supply pumps, steam valves and supply pipe work, vent systems, work feed systems and discharge systems and ducting to the atmosphere.
