B11 B11.8-2001 (R2012)

This standard specifies safety requirements for the design, construction, operation and maintenance (including installation, dismantling and transport) of manually controlled milling, drilling, and boring machines. This standard also applies to devices that are integral to the machine. These machines may have automatic capability but may not be equipped with automatic tool changing or automatic part handling systems.

Excluded from the requirements of this standard are NC milling, drilling, and boring machines where manual control is used only to set the machine for automatic production.
