listed in Clause 4, which are relevant to edge banding machines fed by chains with manual loading and
unloading and maximum work-piece height capacity of 100 mm, when they are used as intended and
under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer, including reasonably foreseeable misuse.
The work-piece is fed through the processing units by an integrated feed. Feeding chains also include
“feeding belts”.
For the purpose of this International Standard, an edge banding machine fed by chains is hereinafter
referred to as “machine”.
The machine is designed to process in one pass, one end (single end machine), or both ends (double end
machine) panels of wood materials with similar physical characteristics as wood, as well as gypsum
plaster boards.
Edges to be applied by the machine can be made of paper, melamine, plastic or composite materials,
aluminium or light alloy, veneer or solid wood.
This International Standard also applies to machines fitted with the following:
— auxiliary devices essential for edge banding machines fed by chains (see 3.1);
— sanding belt units;
— fixed or movable workpiece support;
— automatic tool changing;
— automatic panel returner.
This International Standard also includes information to be provided by the manufacturer to the user.
This International Standard does not deal with any hazards relating to the following:
a) systems for loading and unloading of the work-piece to a single machine other than automatic
panel returner;
b) single machine being used in combination with any other machine (as part of a line);
c) wireless mobile control sets;
d) additional equipment for grooving and for cutting by circular saw blade, installed out of the integral
enclosure and/or whose tools protrude out of the integral enclosure;
e) plasma unit, power laser unit, and hot-air-jet unit.
This International Standards applies to machines that are manufactured after the date of issue of this

5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
5.1 General
The machine shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of Clause 5.
In addition, the machine should be designed according to the principles of ISO 12100:2010 for hazards
relevant but not significant, which are not dealt with by this International Standard (e.g. sharp edges of
the machine frame).
See ISO 12100:2010, 6.2 for guidance in connection with risk reduction by design and see ISO 12100:2010,
6.3 for safeguarding measures.

5.2 Controls
5.2.1 Safety and reliability of control systems
For the design and implementation of any safety function, either realized in electric, pneumatic,
hydraulic, or mechanic technology, the appropriate requirements of ISO 13849-1:2006 shall apply.
Machine safety functions are implemented and ensured through Safety-related Parts of the Control
System (SRP/CS) that shall achieve a relevant minimum Performance Level (PL) required. This
requirement is given for each safety function in the relevant subclause of Clause 5.
Table D.1 shows PL for each safety function at a glance. However, Clause 5 subclauses text remains
r
the sole proper normative reference for the full requirements and explanations, which might not be
summarized enough to fit in Table D.1.
Wherever in this International Standard PL is mentioned, the requirements for PL refer to
ISO 13849-1:2006.
Verification: By checking the relevant drawings and/or circuit diagrams and inspection of the machine,
evaluation of the achieved performance level according to ISO 13849-1:2008, 4.5.
5.2.2 Position of controls
The main electrical control devices of the machine for power-on, starting a tool spindle, other processing
spindles, normal stopping, integrated feed, top pressure beam movement, machine half movement, and
mode selection shall be located together and situated such that the loading position can be seen.
Additional control devices for starting, operational/normal stopping (if provided) may be
duplicated/provided on mobile control sets with cable connection or wireless taking account of the
requirements of 5.2.4.3 for emergency stop.
When a wireless control set loses its connection to the machine, a normal stop shall be automatically
activated.
Hold-to-run control devices shall be located so that the operator, when actuating them, can see the
controlled movements [see 5.2.6.2 c)].
No reset function control devices, no control devices for power-on, and no mode selection shall be
positioned on mobile control sets.
Emergency stop controls shall be fitted at the following locations:
a) on each mobile or fixed set of controls;
b) at the loading and unloading positions of each machine half as long as there is no set of controls;
c) not more than 0,5 m from each hold-to-run device;
d) inside each enclosure where a mode selection switch is provided (see 5.2.6) and positioned with a
maximum distance of 2 m from each other;
e) at the loading area for glue and edges when outside a specific enclosure.
NOTE A single emergency stop control can fulfil, by virtue of its installed position, the function of more than
one of the above requirements. If two of the above locations can be reached from each other, only one emergency
stop control can be provided.
As an exception to b), emergency stop control at the unloading position is not required on single-end
machines with a maximum length of workpiece support of 2 m.
Verification: By checking the relevant drawings and/or circuit diagrams, inspection of the machine, and
relevant functional testing of the machine.

ISO 18217:2015(E)
5.2.3 Starting
A power-on control device shall be provided and protected against unintended actuation (e.g. shrouded).
Power-on activation in automatic mode shall only be possible when all safeguards are in place and
functional. This is achieved by the interlocking arrangements described in 5.3.7.
NOTE 1 For power enabling in MODE 2 and MODE 3, see 5.2.6.
Process start or restart shall only be possible after power-on activation.
NOTE 2 No PL is required for process starting and restarting.
When power is supplied to a tool spindle drive motor and any other processing spindle drive motor, this
shall be indicated permanently or through the request of the operator, e.g. by a light signal near to the
start control or integrated in the start button, or by using a two position switch or through the operator
interrogating the control computer.
In machines provided with MODE 2, it shall be possible to start each spindle drive and feed drive separately.
Closure of movable interlocked guards shall not lead to an automatic restart of hazardous movements.
The SRP/CS for power-on control shall achieve at least PL = c.
The SRP/CS for starting spindle drives and feed drive shall achieve at least PL = b.
Verification: By checking the relevant drawings and/or circuit diagrams, inspection, and relevant
functional testing on the machine.
5.2.4 Stop controls
5.2.4.1 Normal stop
A stop control shall be fitted, which, when actuated, stops all machine actuators except glue heater and
cuts power to them once stopping is complete, unless STO in accordance with EN 61800-5-2:2007 is used.
When STO is provided in accordance with EN 61800-5-2:2007, no disconnection by contactor is required.
NOTE For normal stopping of PDS(SR) (power drive system, safety-related), see EN 61800–5-2:2007, 4.2.2.2
for “safe torque off (STO)” and EN 61800–5-2:2007, 4.2.2.3 for “safe stop 1 (SS1)”.
For machine actuators stopped in stop category 0 according IEC 60204-1:2005, power shall be cut to these
actuators except work-piece clamping (if fitted) unless STO according to EN 61800-5-2:2007 is used.
For machine actuators stopped in stop category 1, the stopping sequence shall be the following:
— cut power to these machine actuators except work-piece clamping (if fitted) unless STO according
to EN 61800-5-2:2007 is used and actuate the brakes;
— cut power to brakes (if electrical brake is fitted) after tool spindle has come to rest, e.g. by using
a time delay.
The SRP/CS for normal stopping initiation shall achieve at least PL = c.
The above requirements shall be satisfied at the level of the control circuits. If a time-delay device is
used, the time delay shall achieve at least PL = c and shall at least be more than the maximum run-down
time of the machine and either the time delay shall be fixed or the adjustment mechanism shall be sealed.
Verification: By checking the relevant drawings and/or circuit diagrams, inspection, and relevant
functional testing of the machine.
ISO 18217:2015(E)
5.2.4.2 Operational stop
If an operational stop function is provided for intervention in the machine while drive systems remain
under control, the following requirements shall apply.
The stop function provided (e.g. cycle stop) shall be of category 2 in accordance with the requirements
of IEC 60204-1:2005, 9.2.2 actuated in conjunction with standstill monitoring and the SRP/CS for
standstill monitoring shall achieve at least PL = c.
NOTE For operational stop of PDS(SR), see EN 61800–5-2:2007, 4.2.3.1 for “safe operating stop (SOS)” and
EN 61800–5-2:2007, 4.2.2.4 for “safe stop 2 (SS2)”.
When initiated, the stopping sequence shall be the following:
a) stop the axes movements;
b) stop spindle rotation and actuate the brake (if provided);
c) when braking seq
