Foundry machinery — Safety requirements for high pressure die casting machines

This document applies to high pressure die casting machines:

a)?????? hot-chamber die casting machines (horizontal die closing system);

b)?????? horizontal cold-chamber die casting machines (horizontal die closing system).

This document applies to high pressure die casting units, i.e. high pressure die casting machines (HPDCM), and their interfaces with the following ancillary equipment:

a)?????? die;

b)?????? melting, holding and dosing furnaces (see ISO?13577-1:2016);

c)??????? metal feeding equipment;

d)?????? inserting and removal devices;

e)?????? spraying appliances;

f)???????? heating and cooling devices for the die.

This ancillary equipment itself is not covered.

Additional risks arising from the material being cast are not covered.

This document does not apply to either low pressure die casting machines or gravity die casting machines, or both.

This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to pressure die casting machines when used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause?4).

This includes hazards coming from intentional interactions as well as unintentional but foreseeable interactions between movable parts of the machine and persons.

This document provides the requirements to be met by the manufacturer to ensure the safety of persons and property during transport, commissioning, use, de-commissioning and maintenance periods, as well as in the event of foreseeable failures or malfunctions that can occur in the equipment.
