DIN 55802:1979-12

Lays down the technical acceptance conditions for folding machines. They cover preparatory measures and geometrical tests of the machine (manufacturing accuracy). The test conditions correspond to DIN 8601, which complies with the International Recommendation ISO/R 230. If all the tests are not completed, or if further tests are necessary, these must be agreed between the manufacturer and the user. The appropriate German regulations must be observed for the testing of the safety-related condition of the machine. The test procedures only give the test principle and the recommended test equipment which is usual in most firms. Other test procedures according to DIN 8601 with the same degree of accuracy are permissible.
