IEC 63458-1:2026 pdf download

IEC 63458-1:2026 is the fundamental general safety standard for high-pressure water jet machines, serving as Part 1 of the complete safety standard series. It establishes unified global safety rules and basic design specifications for complete high-pressure water jet units used in industrial cleaning, rust removal, surface treatment and related industrial fields.

This standard applies to all integrated high-pressure water jet power units, covering their overall structural design, power drive systems, pressure regulating assemblies, fluid circulation systems and basic control systems. It systematically defines various potential hazards including high-pressure fluid impact risks, mechanical structural failures, electrical safety dangers, noise hazards and thermal risks during operation.

It sets clear requirements on structural strength, pressure safety limits, reliable pressure relief protection devices, emergency stop functions, stable operation performance and necessary protective measures. Besides design standards, it also specifies mandatory type tests, routine production inspection items, safety marking rules and complete user operation and maintenance guidance.

As the core basic standard, it lays the overall safety foundation and general compliance principles, and works together with Part 2 for hoses and connectors and Part 3 for spraying devices. It guides manufacturers to design qualified and safe equipment, standardizes product safety evaluation, and effectively protects operators from personal injury and avoids equipment safety accidents in actual working scenarios.
