Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard specifies the safety requirements for the design, manufacturing, assembly, use, and maintenance of uncoiling, levelling, and shearing lines. It applies to various single machines and mechanical combinations within these production lines, as well as their auxiliary devices. It does not apply to associated etching, plating, coating, painting, or lubrication machinery.
Technical requirements
GB 26485-2011 outlines the comprehensive responsibilities for various stakeholders, including manufacturers, integrators, modification performers, and users. It mandates strict hazard identification and control procedures throughout the lifecycle of the equipment, ensuring that all foreseeable hazards are eliminated or controlled through inherently safe design. The standard specifies critical design and manufacturing requirements, focusing on machine safety and the control of hazardous energy. It details the necessary safety protection measures, including the use of fixed, movable, and interlocking guards, as well as photoelectric protection devices in accordance with referenced standards like GB 4584. For operational safety, the standard sets forth requirements for electrical systems, including control reliability and emergency stop functions, alongside hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Manufacturers must ensure safe operation during power interruptions and provide adequate pressure isolation and interlock protection. Installation, commissioning, and maintenance procedures are also rigorously defined. The standard requires proper layout, foundation, and lighting, emphasizing that only trained personnel are permitted to operate or maintain the equipment. It also sets a specific noise limit for no-load operation, measured according to GB/T 23281.
Testing methods
The standard primarily references risk assessment principles outlined in GB/T 16856.1 for hazard identification. Key testing and evaluation methods include verifying the reliability of control systems and emergency stop functions per GB 5226.1 and GB 16754. Additionally, it mandates noise measurement using the A-weighted sound pressure level method specified in GB/T 23281, ensuring the equipment does not exceed the defined acoustic limits during no-load operation.
FAQs
