This standard deals with shot blasting machinery. This standard covers all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events relevant to shot blasting machinery, when used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer, including reasonably foreseeable misuse; measures for minimization of environmental impact and energy usage of shot blasting machinery. Shot blasting machinery covers wheel blasting machinery; air blasting machinery for dry and wet blasting; combined wheel and air blasting machinery. Interfaces between shot blasting machinery and other equipment used in shot blasting but not in scope of this standard are given in Figure 1. The specific significant risks related to mobile and movable shot blasting machinery (e. g. shot blasting machines designed for operation at changing locations) are not dealt with in this standard. This standard does not apply to high pressure water jet machinery; dry-ice blasting machinery. This standard is not applicable to shot blasting machines manufactured before the date of its publication as ISO standard. NOTE The requirements defined in this standard may serve as a guideline for a risk assessment of shot blasting machines manufactured before the date of its publication as ISO standard.
