GB/T 46625-2025 Safety of woodworking machines—Edge banding machines fed by chains
Basic Information
Scope
This document sets forth the safety requirements and measures for edge banding machines (hereinafter referred to as "machines") that are fed by chains or belts, manually loaded and unloaded, and capable of continuous processing with a maximum workpiece height of 100 mm.
This document addresses all major hazards, dangerous situations, and incidents related to the machine as listed in Appendix A (List of Hazards) when the machine is operated, adjusted, and maintained as intended by the manufacturer, including reasonably foreseeable misuse. Additionally, hazards during transportation, assembly, disassembly, decommissioning, and scrapping stages are considered.
The machine is designed for one-time processing of the following board materials on one side (single-end machines) or both sides (double-end machines):
— Materials with physical properties similar to wood (see GB/T 44902-2024, 3.2), even lightweight aluminum core boards;
— Gypsum boards.
The edge banding strips used by the machine can be made of the following materials:
— Paper;
— Melamine;
— Plastics;
— Composite materials;
— Aluminum;
— Lightweight alloys;
— Veneer;
— Solid wood.
This document also applies to machines equipped with one or more of the following devices/work units, provided that the associated hazards have been addressed:
— Hot air edge banding units;
— Laser edge banding units;
— Infrared edge banding units;
— Dynamic processing units;
— Sanding belt units;
— Milling units installed outside the overall housing on one side of the board in single-end machines;
— Milling units installed outside the overall housing between the two machine halves in double-end machines;
— Additional fixed or movable workpiece supports along the feeding direction;
— Additional feeding workpiece supports;
— Additional discharging workpiece supports;
— Feeding devices for transverse loading of boards in single-end machines;
— Workpiece suppo
