This document specifies safety and environmental requirements for shot blasting machinery.

Shot blasting machinery includes:

—     wheel blasting machinery;

—     air blasting machinery for dry and wet blasting;

—     combined wheel and air blasting machinery.

NOTE            Annex A illustrates examples of shot blasting machinery.

This document is applicable to:

—     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.

Interfaces between shot blasting machinery and other equipment used in shot blasting but not in the scope of this document are:

—     mechanical and electrical interface to external workpiece transport system;

—     connector to electrical energy supply;

—     connector to fresh air supply ducting;

—     connector to exhaust air ducting;

—     connector to pressurized air supply;

—     connector to water supply;

—     connector to waste water system;

—     interface for safe exchange of control signals;

—     connector for fresh air supply for respiratory protection device (in blast rooms).

NOTE            Annex C gives an illustration of interfaces between shot blasting machinery and other equipment used in shot blasting but not in the scope of this document.

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 document.

This document does not apply to:

—     high pressure water jet machinery;

—     dry-ice blasting machinery.

This document does not apply to shot blasting machines manufactured before the date of its publication as an ISO standard.

NOTE            The requirements specified in this document can serve as a guideline for a risk assessment of shot blasting machines manufactured before the date of its publication as an ISO standard.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
