This standard 19/30372380 DC BS EN ISO 23062. Foundry machinery. Safety requirements for molding and coremaking machinery and associated equipment is classified in these ICS categories:

• 77.180 Equipment for the metallurgical industry
• 13.110 Safety of machinery
• 25.120.30 Moulding equipment

This document to the following equipment:

1. Machinery constructed to condition and/or reclaim foundry sands for mold and core making (including related moldablegranular materials);

2. Molding machinery;

3. Coremaking machinery;

4. Knock-out equipment;

5. Other directly associated equipment.

This document apply to

• ladles and pouring equipment

• wax- and lost foam pattern production and wax removal equipment;

• additive manufacturing equipment;

• dust and/or gaseous emissions reduction equipment;

• crane installations;

• winches;

• continuous conveyors or handling systems which could be an integral part of the equipment covered by the scope.

This document deals with foreseeable significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to molding and coremaking machinery and associated equipment when used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. It provides the requirements to be met by the manufacturer to ensure the safety of persons and property during the life-cycle phases according ISO 12100:2010; 5.4, as well as in the event of foreseeable failures or malfunctions that can occur in the equipment.

The foreseeable significant hazards are listed in Clause 5 and include:

• Mechanical hazards, movement of machinery and workpieces, ejection of material, of liquids and gases, inadequacy of the mechanical strength;

• Explosion, fire, exothermic reactions;

• Contact with hot parts, gases and flames;

• Noise and vibration;

• Thermal heat radiation and conduction;

• Harmful by-products, poisoning, pollution of operators' breathing air.
