Textile machinery - Safety requirements - Part 1: Common requirements (ISO 11111-1:2016)

2Scope / Description

ISO 11111-1:2016 specifies safety requirements for frequently occurring hazards common to the types of textile machinery and the hazards of certain machine elements covered by ISO 11111-2 to ISO 11111-7. The standard series is complemented by the type C standards ISO 9902 (all parts) with respect to noise emission measurement and ISO 23771 with respect to measures for the reduction of noise emissions. ISO 11111-1:2016 is applicable to machinery plant and related equipment intended to be used in the textile industry for the following purposes: - opening, cleaning, blending, carding, preparation subsequent to carding, spinning and other processing of fibres (staple and filament) and other materials to form yarn or nonwoven material (including felts); - winding, doubling, twisting, texturing, etc., of yarns and the processing of yarns preparatory to weaving and knitting; - weaving, knitting, lace-making and similar utilization of yarn, etc., to form fabric; - forming of braid, cord, strand, rope, twine, net, etc., except take-up reels of stranding and laying machinery; - processing, including the pretreatment, bleaching, dyeing, printing and finishing of fibre, yarn, fabric, braid, cord, etc., and final assembly for dispatch; - piece-dyeing of made-up goods; - finishing of warp and weft knitting, including hosiery, other than assembly of the finished product (e.g. sewing); - manufacturing of carpets by weaving, tufting and other processes. ISO 11111-1:2016 applies to all machinery, plant and equipment used during the processes listed above, including equipment to enable automated operation of the machines and processes in either free-standing or complex installations, such as pneumatic fibre transportation, but excluding other transportation between the interfaces of the machines.
