PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee SF-008 Guarding of
Power Presses to supersede, in part, AS 1219—1994, Power presses—Safety requirements.
The Standard is one of a series dealing with the safety of power presses. It is based upon
but not equivalent to EN 693:2001, Machine tools—Safety—Hydraulic presses in order to
maintain consistency with AS 4024.1, Safety of machinery series of Standards.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the
application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part
of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance.

1.1 SCOPE
This Standard specifies technical safety requirements and measures for hydraulic presses

that are intended to work cold metal or material partly of cold metal. In operations
involving hot working and the use of tongs during the machine cycle, the principles given
in AS 4024.1 should be considered, but may not be capable of being fully applied. This
Standard should be read in conjunction with AS 4024.1 (series).
This Standard also covers presses whose primary intended use is to work cold metal, but are
also used in a similar way to work other sheet materials (e.g. cardboard, plastic, rubber or
leather), and metal powder.
The requirements in this Standard take account of the intended use of the power press. This
Standard presumes access to the press from all directions, deals with the hazards (described
in Section 2) and specifies safety measures for both the operator and other exposed persons.
The Standard also applies to ancillary devices that are integral to the press.
NOTE: For the safeguarding of integrated manufacturing systems using presses, see also
ISO 11161.
This Standard does not cover machines whose principal designed purpose is—
(a) sheet metal or paper cutting by guillotine (see AS 1893);
(b) attaching a fastener, e.g. riveting, stapling or stitching;
(c) bending or folding by brake presses;
(d) straightening;
(e) turret punch pressing;
(f) extruding;
(g) drop forging, hot forging or drop stamping;
(h) compaction of metal powder;
(i) single purpose punching machines designed exclusively for profiles, e.g. for the
construction industry; or
(j) printing presses.
1.2 OBJECTIVE
The objective of this Standard is to enable designers, manufacturers, suppliers, employers
and users of hydraulic power presses to reduce the risks to the safety of persons working
with or near hydraulic power presses.
