Scope

This document specifies requirements and measures for removal or reduction of hazards resulting from the design and application of power driven brushes.

NOTE Power driven brushing tools are e. g. cup brushes, wheel brushes, end brushes, disc brushes, tube brushes and head brushes.

This document also contains procedures and tests for verification of compliance with the requirements as well as safety information for use, which is to be made available to the user by the manufacturer.

This document does not apply to cylinder brushes and strip brushes, brushes for car washing, vacuum cleaners, floor cleaning, drain and street cleaning machines and dental brushes.

Purpose

The current standard is more than 20 years old. The proposed revision takes into account latest safety requirements and takes over principles from the safety standards for abrasives which are used on similar machines and for similar applications like brushing tools.
