ISO 28881:2013规定了适用于EDM设备和EDM系统的安全要求和/或保护措施，如手动控制的EDM冲模机或EDM钻床、数控EDM冲模机或EDM钻床，以及数控EDM线切割机，这些设备和系统拟由从事设计、施工的人员采用，此类设备的安装和/或供应。它还包括制造商向用户提供的信息。不适用于电弧腐蚀和电化学加工设备。 ISO 28881:2013考虑了在正常车间环境和非正常环境中预期用途的前提条件以及合理可预见的误用- 爆炸性环境，包括EDM设备和EDM系统的运输、安装、设置、维护、维修和拆除。 它也适用于EDM加工所必需的辅助设备。 ISO 28881:2013涉及与EDM设备和EDM系统相关的所有重大危险、危险情况或危险事件，这些设备和系统按预期使用，并且在制造商合理预见的误用条件下使用。 ISO 28881:2013适用于出版日期后制造的机器。

ISO 28881:2013 specifies safety requirements and/or protective measures, applicable to EDM equipment and EDM systems, such as manually controlled EDM die sinking or EDM drilling machines, numerically controlled EDM die sinking or EDM drilling machines and numerically controlled EDM wire cutting machines intended to be adopted by persons undertaking the design, construction, installation and/or supply of such equipment. It also includes information to be provided by the manufacturer to the user. It is not applicable to arc eroding and electro-chemical machining equipment. ISO 28881:2013 takes account of the precondition of the intended use as well as the reasonably foreseeable misuse, in normal workshop environments and non-explosive atmospheres, including transportation, installation, setting, maintenance, repair and dismantling for removal or disposal of EDM equipment and EDM systems. It is also applicable to auxiliary devices essential for EDM processing. ISO 28881:2013 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant to EDM equipment and EDM systems, where they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. ISO 28881:2013 is intended to apply to machines manufactured after its date of publication.
