NBN ISO 13577-1:2021

This document specifies the general safety requirements common to industrial furnaces and associated
processing equipment (TPE).
This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant
to TPE, as listed in Annex A, when TPE is used as intended and also under conditions of misuse that are
reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
Annex B provides a list of common industrial furnaces and associated processing equipment.
This document specifies the requirements intended to be met by the manufacturer to ensure the safety
of persons and property during commissioning, start-up, operation, shut-down, maintenance periods
and dismantling, as well as in the event of foreseeable faults or malfunctions that can occur in the
equipment.
These general safety requirements apply to all TPE, unless an exception is given in other parts of
ISO 13577 dealing with specific equipment. The provisions of other parts of ISO 13577 that directly
apply to specific types of TPE take precedence over the provisions of this document.
This document is not applicable to blast furnaces, converters (in steel plants), boilers or equipment not
covered under ISO 12100.
