ISO / TC130 Working Group 5, Safety and Anthropology, Development Safety Standards Call for increased protection against workers so that they are harmed by the potential for printing machinery. There are now five safety standards and a related technical report, all about the press, postpress equipment, folding equipment, stand-alone printing presses and applications on the device symbols. The revision of these standards is to maintain the renewal of technological progress and the reform of government norms.

The establishment of these standards is very helpful for equipment manufacturers and equipment users. They help equipment manufacturers to build more general security requirements than to establish different specifications for different countries. They have a uniform and regular method of safety systems and protection devices that operate between machines and provide a safe working environment for the operator.

In the global economic system, equipment manufacturers around the world will be exported to overseas, and sometimes even in the manufacturing country thousands of miles away. In the past, most of the factories put pre-press, print and print equipment in different places, and now they are often these functions into a multi-functional independent system. The new systems are more sophisticated and complex, are integrated with different manufacturers of machines. In addition, the operator will encounter various models and systems when switching between systems.

Countries around the world have developed a range of their own equipment safety laws and regulations, including equipment used in the printing industry. As global trade grows, a globally harmonized security guide will become very important.

With the rapid development of equipment manufacturers, more and more efficient printing equipment and systems, they also continue to work to ensure that the safety of machinery to protect the operation of their personnel.
