ISO 11111-1:2005(E)
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 11111-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 72, Textile machinery and machinery for dry-
cleaning and industrial laundering, Subcommittee SC 8, Safety requirements for textile machinery.
This first edition of ISO 11111-1, together with ISO 11111-2, ISO 11111-3, ISO 11111-4, ISO 11111-5,
ISO 11111-6 and ISO 11111-7, cancels and replaces ISO 11111:1995, which has been technically revised.
ISO 11111 consists of the following parts, under the general title Textile machinery — Safety requirements:
 Part 1: Common requirements
 Part 2: Spinning preparatory and spinning machines
 Part 3: Nonwoven machinery
 Part 4: Yarn processing, cordage and rope manufacturing machinery
 Part 5: Preparatory machinery to weaving and knitting
 Part 6: Fabric manufacturing machinery
 Part 7: Dyeing and finishing machinery
ISO 11111-1:2005(E)
Introduction
ISO 11111-1 to ISO 11111-7 were prepared simultaneously by ISO/TC 72 and CEN/TC 214 and adopted
under the Vienna Agreement in order to obtain identical standards on technical safety requirements for the
design and construction of textile machinery.
ISO 11111 as a whole is intended for use by any person concerned with the safety of textile machinery, for
example, textile machinery designers, manufacturers and systems integrators. It is also of interest to users of
textile machines and safety experts.
This document is a type C standard as stated in ISO 12100-1. The various parts of ISO 11111 deal with
significant hazards generated by machines used in the textile industry. The machinery concerned and the
extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this standard.
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.
For machines or machine elements not dealt with in the relevant parts of ISO 11111, the designer is to
perform a risk assessment according to ISO 14121 and evolve means for reducing the risk from significant
hazards.
This part of ISO 11111 contains a summary of safety requirements and/or measures for frequently occurring
hazards of textile machinery (see Clause 5) which apply whenever referred to in this, or the other parts, of
ISO 11111.
Significant hazards and corresponding safety requirements and/or measures for certain machine elements
(e.g. rollers) and their combination of textile machines are also described (see Clause 6).
The various parts of ISO 11111 address significant hazards and corresponding safety requirements and/or
measures for specific types of textile machines. As far as possible, these are treated by way of reference to
Clauses 5 and 6 of this part of ISO 11111 and other cross-references (see general safety requirements), thus
reducing considerably the volume by avoiding many repetitions. The standard for a specific textile machine
will normally consist of this part of ISO 11111 and the specific part relevant to that machine. ISO 11111-2 to
ISO 11111-7 may also contain exceptions or additions to the requirements given in this part of ISO 11111
(see specific safety requirements).

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11111-1:2005(E)

Textile machinery — Safety requirements —
Part 1:
Common requirements
1 Scope
1.1 This part of ISO 11111 specifies safety requirements for frequently occurring hazards common to the
types of textile machinery and the hazards of certain machine elements covered by ISO 11111-2 to
ISO 11111-7.
1.2 It is applicable to machinery plant and related equipment intended to be used in the textile industry for
the following:
 the opening, cleaning, blending, carding, preparation subsequent to carding, spinning and other
processing of fibres (staple and filament) and other materials to form yarn or nonwoven material
(including felts);
 the winding, doubling, twisting, texturing, etc. of yarns and the processing of yarns preparatory to weaving
and knitting;
 the weaving, knitting, lace-making and similar utilization of yarn, etc., to form fabric;
 the formation of braid, cord, strand, rope, twine, net, etc., except take-up reels of stranding and laying
machinery;
 processes including the pretreatment, bleaching, dyeing, printing and finishing of fibre, yarn, fabric, braid,
cord, etc., and final assembly for despatch;
 the piece dyeing of made-up goods;
 finishing of warp and weft knitting, including hosiery, other than assembly of the finished product (e.g.
sewing);
 carpet manufacture, by weaving, tufting and other processes.
This part of ISO 11111 applies to all machinery, plant and equipment used during the processes listed above,
including equipment to enable automated operation of the machines and processes in either free-standing or
complex installations, such as pneumatic fibre transportation, but excluding other transportation between the
interfaces of the machines.
NOTE 1 The standard for a specific textile machine will normally consist of two parts: this part of ISO 11111 and the
specific part of ISO 11111 relevant to that machine. However, in the case of nonwoven lines, which is covered by
ISO 11111-3, ISO 11111-2, ISO 11111-6, and ISO 11111-7 are also to be taken into account.
This ISO 11111 does not deal with specific requirements for pressure containment.
NOTE 2 In the EU and EFTA specific Directives for pressure vessels and electromagnetic compatibility among others
exist.
ISO 11111-1:2005(E)
1.3 This and the other parts of ISO 11111 address hazards arising from the assembly and commissioning
of the machinery, its adjustment, use, maintenance, decommissioning, dismantling, and disposal. Manual
loading/unloading is considered to be part of the normal operation of the machinery.
1.4 This and the other parts of ISO 11111 are not applicable to machinery, plant and related equipment
used for
 the manufacture of continuous filaments and man-made fibres up to and including the formation of the
first textile package (e.g. continuous filament cheese, staple fibre bale),
 hackling and carding of flax and similar,
 the manufacture of spunbonded and melt blown nonwovens,
 the formation and making up of garments, household and industrial textile goods, and the pressing and
die cutting of nonwoven fabric,
 the laundering and drycleaning of made-up textile goods,
 servicing of textile machines (e.g. machines for cardwire mounting, cleaning machines for components of
printing machines), and
 certain cutting devices, e.g. log-slitting device, laser cutting, high pressure water jets, ultrasonic device.
NOTE 3 The machines and equipment listed in Annex E are used in the textile industry but are not within the scope of
this document.
1.5 This and the other parts of ISO 11111 are not applicable to machinery intended for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
1.6 This and the other parts of ISO 11111 are not applicable to machines which are manufactured before
the dates of publication of the standards.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this part of ISO 11111, the terms and definitions given in ISO 12100-1 and EN 953, and
the following apply.
NOTE Where values are applicable to terms defined in this clause, these values are indicated in Annex A.
3.1
stopping time
time taken by a machine or machine part to reach a stand-still after the signal to stop has been given
3.2
access time
time required to reach a dangerous part from first exposure to that part
3.3
crawl speed
linear or tangential speed of machine elements which is substantially below its normal speed and has a
maximum speed and a maximum stopping distance
3.4
reduced running speed
linear or tangential speed of machine elements which is substantially below its normal speed and has a
maximum stopping distance
3.5
fence guard
fixed guard to provide a barrier at a distance which prevents access to a danger zone
NOTE It can be either fixed directly to the machine or free-standing and fixed to the floor or constructional elements
of the building. Access to the space between the fence guard and the machine is controlled by interlocked doors
(see Annex A).
3.6
lap
wrap
undesired wrapping of the process material around a rotating part of the machine
3.7
normal operation
entire sequence of the production process, including start-up and incidental cleaning and elimination of routine
process faults
EXAMPLE Feeding and removal of process material, threading up, process surveillance, quality tests, removal of
fibre fly, mending of broken ends.
3.8
special operation
procedure and action not included in normal operation
EXAMPLE Setting, tuning, major cleaning, elimination of substantial process faults, maintenance such as the
removal of blockages, laps except on spinning, twisting and texturizing machines, re-sewing broken cloth, elimination of
rope loops.
3.9
complex installation
combination of textile machines and service equipment, arranged to work as one integrated production unit,
subject to overall control either from a central system or from distributed, communicating systems
ISO 11111-1:2005(E)
3.10
automatic machinery [equipment]
machinery [equipment] for which systems are employed to govern its operation without further intervention
from the operator once the start control has been activated
NOTE Such machines may be either free-standing or included in a complex installation. Automatic control can apply
to the operational sequence of a machine and its integrated equipment located in a permanent place, and equipment
which is mobile, including handling devices (e.g. piecing devices, knotters).
4 List of significant hazards
Significant hazards frequently occurring on textile machinery shall be considered in Clause 5. Additional
significant hazards common to certain machine elements are given in Clause 6. Specific significant hazards
for individual textile machines shall be considered in ISO 11111-2 to ISO 11111-7.
Before using this part of ISO 11111, it is important to carry out a check to ascertain that the specific machine
has the significant hazards identified.
NOTE The significant hazards of textile machinery are always considered in conjunction with safety requirements.
5 Safety requirements and/or measures for frequently occurring hazards
5.1 General
This clause contains safety requirements and/or measures to be taken in relation to frequently occurring
significant hazards related to textile machinery.
Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause, Clause 6 and
ISO 11111-2 to ISO 11111-7. In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of
ISO 12100 for hazards relevant but not significant, which are not dealt with by this part of ISO 11111.
Where the means of reducing the risk is by the arrangement of the installed machine or a safe system of
working the machine, the manufacturer shall give a detailed description of this in the instruction handbook.
Where type B standards that are referred to offer a choice of safety requirements and/or measures having
different levels of safety and the selection is not specified in this part of ISO 11111 or in ISO 11111-2 to
ISO 11111-7, the manufacturer shall carry out a risk assessment to identify the appropriate level.
5.2 Safety requirements for the different phases of “life” of a machine
The safety requirements given in this Clause 5 and in Clause 6, together with the requirements set out in
ISO 11111-2 to ISO 11111-7, apply to the use and maintenance of the machine. For the other phases in the
life of a machine, mainly see Clause 8.
5.3 Risk reduction by design and safeguarding
5.3.1 General
A design concept for the machine and/or its mechanisms which does not inherently create a hazard shall, as
far as possible, be adopted
EXAMPLE Use of pneumatic trunking instead of open lattice conveyors, use of pneumatic uncurling devices instead
of mechanical uncurling rollers.
