本标准的要求仅适用于通常称为冷镦机和冷成型机的机械动力机器的构造、维护和使用，这些机器通过工具和模具执行许多操作，如剪切、镦粗、镦粗、挤压、修整、成型、冷加工或热成型材料。这类设备的闸板通常处于水平位置。包括指针和辊式成型机，它们是基本机器的机械组成部分。 不符合本标准要求的有:机械、液压和气动压力机；热伪造者；热镦头（包括冷加工）；热成型机；热头；立式冷锻机；四台滑梯机；大摇大摆；酒柜；懒汉；剃须刀和高能机器。指针和滚轴成型机也不包括在内，除非它们是基本机器的组成部分。

The requirements of this standard apply for construction, care, and use of only those mechanically-powered machines commonly referred to as cold headers and cold formers, which perform many operations such as shearing, heading, upsetting, extruding, trimming, forming, cold working, or warm forming material by means of tools and dies. This type of equipment generally has the ram in a horizontal position. Included are pointers and roll formers when they are mechanically an integral part of the basic machine.Excluded from the requirements of the standard are: mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic power presses; hot forgers; hot upsetters (including cold work); hot formers; hot headers; vertical cold forgers; four-slide machines; swaggers; wine drawers; slotters; shavers, and high-energy machines. Also excluded are pointers and roll formers, unless they are an integral part of the basic machine.
