Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard specifies the safety requirements for bonded abrasive products. It applies to the design, manufacturing, and use of bonded abrasives across various grinding applications, including stationary, mobile, and hand-held machines. It is mandatory for all manufacturers and suppliers of bonded abrasive products entering the Chinese market. The standard excludes coated abrasives.
Technical requirements
The standard outlines general safety principles, requiring bonded abrasives to withstand expected forces and loads during operation. It categorizes maximum working speeds into specific ranges based on the abrasive type and machine category. It defines critical safety factors and burst speed coefficients to prevent wheel breakage caused by centrifugal forces. Specific requirements are established for different machine types, such as stationary, mobile, and hand-held equipment. For hand-held grinding operations, the standard sets lateral load capacity requirements for fiber-reinforced depressed center wheels (Type 27, 28) and flat cutting-off wheels (Type 41, 42) to ensure resistance against side impacts. Additionally, it specifies requirements for permissible unbalance and product marking to ensure proper identification and safe usage. Manufacturers must ensure all safety parameters are strictly met before products leave the factory.
Testing methods
Safety speed test: Conducted on a rotational test machine to identify significant defects affecting abrasive strength, maintaining the test speed for 30 seconds. Burst speed test: Determines the minimum burst speed by gradually increasing the rotational speed until the minimum requirement is met. All tested samples must be destroyed after this test. Lateral load test: Evaluated according to JB/T 4175 to assess the side impact resistance of specific cutting and grinding wheels. Unbalance measurement: Measured in accordance with GB/T 2492 to ensure operational stability and prevent excessive vibration.
FAQs
