Industrial furnaces and associated processing equipment - Safety requirements for machinery and equipment for production of steel by electric arc furnaces (ISO/DIS 13578:2016)

ISO 13578:2017 specifies the general safety requirements for electric arc furnaces (EAF) to melt steel not containing radioactive material.
NOTE Radioactive material is considered to be detected in front of the steel plant entrance.
ISO 13578:2017 deals with significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Table 1 pertinent to EAF, when used as intended and under conditions foreseen by the manufacturer, and also includes foreseeable faults and malfunctions in case of misuse.
ISO 13578:2017 also specifies criteria for the plant and equipment integrated in the production process.
ISO 13578:2017 specifies the requirements to be followed during design to ensure the safety of persons, which are to be met during transport, assembly, commissioning, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of the equipment.
ISO 13578:2017 assumes that installations are operated and maintained by adequately trained personnel. Manual intervention for setting, adjustment and maintenance is accepted as part of the normal use of the equipment.
ISO 13578:2017 covers the following equipment (see Annex B, Tables B.1 and B.2, and Annex C, Figures C.1 and C.2):
- EAF with alternating current (AC) technology;
- EAF with direct current (DC) technology;
- scrap preheating technology;
- associated equipment/devices (e.g. inert gas stirring, carbon and oxygen injection systems).
The following equipment is not covered by ISO 13578:2017:
- induction furnace;
- resistance-arc furnace (e.g. submerged arc furnace);
- electron beam furnace;
- plasma furnace;
- other electrical furnaces used in secondary steelmaking, e.g. ladle furnace.
ISO 13578:2017 does not specify safety requirements for the following equipment, which can be an integral or complementary part of the equipment covered by the scope:
- cranes;
- shell lifting cross beam;
- scrap basket, steel ladle and slag pot;
- transport cars for scrap baskets, steel ladles and slag pots;
- dedusting system;
- "dog house" and "elephant house" (furnace enclosures for environmental reasons);
- alloying system;
- separate scrap drying equipment;
- furnace transformer and high-voltage system;
- robots/manipulators (e.g. for temperature measurement and sampling).

Le présent document spécifie les spécifications générales de sécurité pour les fours à arc électrique (FAE) destinés à la fusion de l'acier, ne contenant pas de substances radioactives.
NOTE Les substances radioactives sont considérées comme détectées devant l'entrée de l'aciérie.
Le présent document traite des phénomènes dangereux, situations et évènements dangereux significatifs énumérés dans le Tableau 1, pertinents pour les FAE lorsqu'ils sont utilisés normalement et dans les conditions prévues par le fabricant. Il inclut aussi les défauts et dysfonctionnements prévisibles en cas de mauvais usage.
Le présent document spécifie également des critères pour les installations et équipements intégrés au processus de production.
Le présent document spécifie les spécifications à respecter lors de la conception pour assurer la sécurité des personnes pendant le transport, l'assemblage, la mise en service, l'utilisation, la maintenance et la mise hors service de l'équipement.
Le présent document suppose que les installations sont exploitées et entretenues par un personnel dûment qualifié. Une intervention manuelle pour le réglage, l'ajustement et la maintenance est acceptée comme faisant partie de l'utilisation normale des équipements.
Le présent document concerne les équipements suivants (voir l'Annexe B, Tableaux B.1 et B.2, et l'Annexe C, Figures C.1 et C.2):

— FAE avec technologie à courant continu (CC);
— technologie de préchauffage de la ferraille;
— équipements/dispositifs associés (par exemple agitation de gaz inerte, systèmes d'injection de carbone et d'oxygène).
Les équipements suivants ne sont pas couverts par le présent document:
— four à induction;
— four à résistance à arc (par exemple four à arc immergé);
— four à faisceau d'électrons;
— four à plasma;
— autres fours électriques utilisés pour la production d'acier secondaire, par exemple four à poche.
Le présent document ne spécifie pas les exigences de sécurité des équipements suivants, qui peuvent faire partie intégrante ou venir compléter les équipements couverts par le domaine d'application:
— grues;
— poutre transversale pour le levage de la virole;
— panier à ferrailles, poche d'acier et poche à laitier;
— wagons de transport des paniers à ferrailles, poches d'acier et poches à laitier;
— système de dépoussiérage;
— «dog house» et «elephant house» (enceintes du four prévues pour des raisons environnementales);
— système d'alliage;
— équipement séparé de séchage de la ferraille;
— transformateur du four et système haute tension;
— robots/manipulateurs (par exemple pour le mesurage de la température et l'échantillonnage).

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 13578 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 244, Industrial furnaces and associated
processing equipment.

Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B
standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other
standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C
standard.
Where for clarity an example of a preventive measure is given in this document, this should not been
considered as the only possible solution. Any other solution leading to the same risk reduction is
permissible if an equivalent level of safety is achieved.
