ISO/TC 261/JG 78 - Joint ISO/TC 261-ASTM F 42 Group: Safety regarding AM-machines (relating to harmonized European Standards, Type C-Standard)
ISO/TC 261/JG 78 is a Joint group for drafting safety standards for additive manufacturing machines used for the 7 process categories as identified in ISO 17296-2 and using all different types of materials (e.g. metals, polymers and ceramics) as feedstock. The purpose of this group is to draft standards to be harmonized regarding the European Machinery Directive in order to give presumption of conformity to this Directive for the essential requirements covered by the standard
Groupe mixte ISO/TC 261- ASTM F 42: "Safety regarding AM-machines (relating to harmonized European Standards, Type C-Standard)"
L’ISO/TC 261/JG 78 est un groupe mixte d’élaboration des normes de sécurité relatives aux machines de fabrication additive, utilisées pour les 7 catégories de procédés tels qu’identifiés dans l’ISO 17296-2, avec l’emploi de différents types de matériaux (par exemple, métaux, polymères et céramiques) comme matières premières. Ce groupe mixte a pour but d’élaborer des normes visant à être harmonisées au titre de la Directive européenne relative aux machines, afin de donner présomption de conformité aux exigences essentielles de cette Directive couvertes par ces normes

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Technical Committee (TC) in ISO is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
This document deals with the technical requirements and the means for their verification for additive manufacturing (AM) machines using a bed of metallic powder, pyrophoric feedstock excluded, and a laser herein designated as machine. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events during all phases of the life of the machine (ISO 12100:2010, 5.4), as listed in Annex A, caused by AM machines using a bed of metallic powder and a laser when used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. This document does not deal with hazards which can occur: - during the design and construction phase of the laser beam powder ped fusion (PBF-LB) machine itself; - operating in potentially explosive atmospheres. This document does not apply to technologies other than AM metals PBF-LB. This document is not applicable to machines manufactured before the date of its publication.
