Annex ZA
(informative)
Relationship between this European Standard and the essential
requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC aimed to be covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request “M/396
Mandate to CEN and CENELEC for Standardisation in the field of machinery" to provide one voluntary
means of conforming to essential requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament

Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements
of that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World Trade
Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 39, Machine tools, Subcommittee SC 4
Woodworking machines, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical
Committee CEN/TC 142, Woodworking machines — Safety, in accordance with the Agreement on technical
cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 19085-5:2017), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— the Scope now specifies that machines are intended for continuous production use;
— the requirements for post-forming have been deleted since it is not produced anymore;
— the list of significant hazards has been moved to a new Annex A;
— the structure has been simplified and modified, in particular in 5.6;
— subclause 6.2 has been updated and a new full noise test code has been added in Annex F.

ISO 19085-5:2024(en)
Introduction
The ISO 19085 series provides technical safety requirements for the design and construction of
woodworking machinery, as well as for the content of the relevant instruction handbook. It concerns
designers, manufacturers, suppliers and importers of the machines specified in the Scope.
This document is a type-C standard as defined in ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (e.g. regulators, accident prevention organisations, market surveillance)
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate in the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards (as defined in ISO 12100), the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the
requirements of the other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the
requirements of this type-C standard.
The full set of requirements for a particular type of woodworking machine are those given in the part of the
ISO 19085 series applicable to that type, together with the relevant requirements from ISO 19085-1:2021, to
the extent specified in the Scope of the applicable part of the ISO 19085 series.
As far as possible, the safety requirements of parts of the ISO 19085 series refer to the relevant clauses
of ISO 19085-1. Each part includes replacements and additions to the common requirements given in
ISO 19085-1.
All parts of the ISO 19085 series have the same structure, so that reference to ISO 19085-1 is made always
and only from and to the same subclause number, last indent.
Clauses 1 to 3 are specific to each part and, therefore are distinct from ISO 19085-1:2021, Clauses 1 to 3.
For Clauses 4 to 7 and the annexes, each subclause in ISO 19085-1:2021, is cited as:
— confirmed as a whole;
— confirmed with additions;
— excluded in total; or
— replaced with specific text.
This is indicated by one of the following possible statements:
— “ISO 19085-1:2021, [subclause/Annex], applies.”;

vii
ISO 19085-5:2024(en)
— “ISO 19085-1:2021, [subclause/Annex], applies with the following additions.” or “ISO 19085-1:2021,
[subclause/Annex], applies with the following additions, subdivided into further specific subclauses.”;
— “ISO 19085-1:2021, [subclause/Annex], does not apply.”;
— “ISO 19085-1:2021, [subclause/Annex], is replaced by the following text.” or “ISO 19085-1:2021,
[subclause/Annex], is replaced by the following text, subdivided into further specific subclauses.”.
Other subclauses and annexes specific to this document are indicated by the introductory sentence:
“Subclause/Annex specific to this document.”.

Part 5:
Dimension saws
1 Scope
This document specifies the safety requirements and measures for dimension saws (defined in 3.1), capable
of continuous production use and hereinafter referred to also as “machines”.
The machines are designed to cut solid wood and material with similar physical characteristics to wood.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, listed in Annex A,
relevant to the machines, when operated, adjusted and maintained as intended and under the conditions
foreseen by the manufacturer; reasonably foreseeable misuse has been considered too. Transport, assembly,
dismantling, disabling and scrapping phases have also been taken into account.
This document is also applicable to machines fitted with one or more of the following devices/additional
working units, whose hazards have been dealt with:
a) device to raise and lower the main saw blade and scoring saw blade;
b) device to tilt the main saw blade and scoring saw blade for angled cutting in one or both directions;
c) device for scoring;
d) device for grooving with milling tool with a width not exceeding 20 mm;
e) demountable power feed unit;
f) power-operated sliding table;
g) workpiece clamping.
This document is not applicable to machines intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres or to
machines manufactured prior to the date of its publication.
