Overview
EN ISO 11111-6:2005/A2:2016 is Amendment 2 to Part 6 of the ISO 11111 series, covering textile machinery - safety requirements for fabric manufacturing machinery (looms and weaving machines). This amendment updates normative references, refines protective-device requirements and wording (for example, replacing “emergency stop control” with “emergency stop device”), and clarifies how certain protective measures are to be applied. The document also notes its relationship to the EU Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) via an informative Annex ZA.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Reference updates
- Replaces earlier safety-framework reference ISO 12100-1:2003 with ISO 12100:2010 in the introduction and bibliography.
- Replaces dated internal references to ISO 11111-1:2005 with ISO 11111-1:- (undated reference) throughout the text.
- Protective equipment and guarding
- Introduces Sensitive Protective Equipment (SPE) as an option, e.g. Active Opto-Electronic Protective Devices (AOPD), in accordance with ISO 11111-1 and IEC 61496‑1 / IEC 61496‑2 (AOPD type 4).
- Clarifies that the SPE must prevent access to the hazard zone without activation and may be deactivated after normal production speed unless additionally protecting specific danger zones (e.g., between a moving sley and fixed machine parts).
- Specifies movable interlocked guards to prevent finger access in crushing areas (for example between temple and reed).
- Terminology and safety controls
- Standardizes language by replacing various occurrences of “emergency stop control / device” to “emergency stop device” for consistency.
- Noise considerations
- Adds that this standard is complemented by type C standards ISO 9902 (parts 1 and 6) for noise emission measurement and ISO/DIS 23771 for noise reduction measures.
Applications and users
- Practical use cases:
- Conforming design and manufacture of looms and weaving machines to recognized safety requirements.
- Integrating AOPDs and interlocked guarding solutions into fabric manufacturing equipment.
- Performing risk assessments and documentation required for CE marking under the EU Machinery Directive.
- Primary users:
- Machine manufacturers and designers, safety engineers, CE conformity assessors, testing laboratories, maintenance teams, and regulatory compliance officers in the textile machinery sector.
