The primary objective of this standard is to eliminate, control or reduce hazards to individuals associated with hydraulic / pneumatic power presses by establishing safety requirements for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of these machines. To accomplish this objective, responsibilities have been assigned to the supplier (e.g., manufacturer, modifier, rebuilder and integrator), the user, and individuals in the working environment. This standard should be used with ANSI B11.0 and ANSI B11.19. The requirements of both standards must be met as applicable to a particular machine.
