ISO DIS 13577-1

Description / Abstract: This part of ISO 13577 specifies the general safety requirements common to industrial furnaces and associated processing equipment (TPE).

This part of ISO 13577 deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant to TPE that are listed in Annex A, when it is used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.

Annex B provides a list of common industrial furnaces and associated processing equipment.

This part of ISO 13577 specifies the requirements intended to be met by the manufacturer to ensure the safety of persons and property during commissioning, start-up, operation, shut-down, maintenance periods and dismantling, as well as in the event of foreseeable faults or malfunctions which can occur in the equipment.

These general safety requirements apply to all TPE, unless an exception in other parts of ISO 13577 dealing with specific equipment. The provisions of other parts of ISO 13577 that directly apply to specific types of TPE take precedence over the provisions of this part of ISO 13577.

This part of ISO 13577 is not applicable to blast furnaces, converters (in steel plants), boilers or equipment not covered under ISO 12100.
