GOST EN 12417-2016 PDF

Full title and description

GOST EN 12417-2016 — "Безопасность металлообрабатывающих станков. Центры обрабатывающие" / "Safety of machine tools. Machining centres". This is the interstate (GOST) adoption of the European standard EN 12417 (machine-tool safety requirements for machining centres), published in the Russian-language national text and applied as a national/interstate standard for participating CIS countries.

Abstract

This standard specifies technical safety requirements, protective measures and information for use for machining centres (CNC machine tools capable of performing two or more machining operations with automatic tool change). It covers design, construction, installation, dismantling, transport, commissioning, maintenance, cleaning and foreseeable misuse, and addresses guarding, control systems, protective devices and risk reduction measures relevant to machining centres and integral workpiece transfer devices.

General information

• Status: Active / Introduced for the first time as a GOST adoption (acting national/interstate standard).
• Publication date: Adopted by Rosstandart order 28 June 2017; date of national enactment (entry into force) 1 July 2018.
• Publisher: Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology (Rosstandart) / Interstate standardization bodies (published as GOST EN 12417-2016).
• ICS / categories: 13.110 (Environment. Health protection. Safety — Safety of machinery), 25.080.20 (Manufacturing engineering — Machine tools).
• Edition / version: GOST EN 12417-2016 (identical adoption of EN 12417:2001+A2:2009 — IDT).
• Number of pages: 50 pages (national text).

Scope

The standard applies to machining centres (numerically controlled machine tools with automatic tool change) and establishes requirements to eliminate or reduce significant hazards when the machine is used as intended and under conditions foreseen by the manufacturer. It presumes access to the machine from any side, covers protective guarding of work zones and tool/workpiece magazines, control and safety functions, maintenance and commissioning activities, and also applies to integral workpiece transfer devices. Hazards from other metalworking methods (e.g. grinding, turning, EDM, laser processing) are treated in other standards.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and classification of machining centres and related terms (CNC, work zone, operating modes).
• Work-zone protection: fixed and interlocked movable guards, protected operator positions and perimeter guarding where enclosure is impracticable.
• Requirements for control systems, safety-related functions and measures to prevent unintended startup during maintenance, cleaning and setup.
• Protection of tool magazines, workpiece magazines and transfer devices when integral to the machine.
• Testing methods and annexed procedures (collision testing of guards, noise measurement, illustrative figures and test apparatus descriptions).
• Requirements for information for use: warnings, instructions for safe installation, commissioning, maintenance and decommissioning.

Typical use and users

Used by machine-tool designers and manufacturers, safety engineers, conformity assessment bodies, procurement specialists, machine installers and maintenance teams, plant safety officers and machine operators to ensure that machining centres meet recognized safety requirements during design, supply, installation and operation.

Related standards

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST EN 12417-2016 is the interstate (GOST) adoption of the European standard EN 12417 (Safety of machine tools — Machining centres), published in Russian and applied as a national/interstate standard for the adopting countries. It is identical (IDT) to the referenced EN text.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers technical safety requirements, protective measures and user information for machining centres — CNC machine tools with automatic tool change — addressing guarding, control and safety functions, maintenance and foreseeable misuse, plus annexes with test methods (for example collision tests for guards and noise measurement).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Machine designers and manufacturers, safety and compliance engineers, certification bodies, plant safety managers, installers and maintenance personnel, and machine operators who need to design, supply, install, operate or assess the safety of machining centres.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: As adopted, GOST EN 12417-2016 was introduced by Rosstandart (order dated 28 June 2017) and put into effect on 1 July 2018; it is listed as an active/acting standard. For current applicability in a specific country or for updates, check the national standards register or Rosstandart notifications.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the CEN technical work on machine-tool safety (CEN/TC 143 and related WG work on machining centres and similar machine-tool types) and is cross-referenced to other machine-tool safety standards (EN ISO 12100, related EN/ISO standards and IEC safety standards).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Machining centres; machine tools; CNC safety; guarding; tool magazine; work-zone protection; risk assessment; Rosstandart; EN 12417; GOST.
