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.
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.
