印刷机(Theprinter)是印刷文字和图像的机器。现代印刷机一般由装版、涂墨、压印、输纸（包括折叠）等机构组成。它的工作原理是：先将要印刷的文字和图像制成印版，装在印刷机上，由人工或印刷机把墨涂敷于印版上有文字和图像的地方，再直接或间接地转印到纸或其他承印物（如纺织品、金属板、塑胶、皮革、木板、玻璃和陶瓷）上，从而复制出与印版相同的印刷品。印刷机的发明和发展，对于人类文明和文化的传播具有重要作用。

This document applies to: printing machines for printing on paperand similar materials, including screen printing presses; equipmentused in the preparation of the printing process and additionalequipment on printing machines are also considered to be printingmachines. This standard also covers machinery used for the handlingof paper, products, printing formes and inks (before and after theprinting process) as well as machinery for cleaning printing formesand checking the print quality (auxiliary printing machinery).paper converting machines, i. e. machines to process, convert orfinish paper, board and similar materials which are processed,converted or finished in a similar manner. This document deals withall common significant hazards relevant to printing and paperconverting machinery when they are used as intended and under theconditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see clause 4). Thisdocument is not applicable to printing and paper convertingmachines which are manufactured before the date of publication ofthis document by CEN.本文件适用于：在纸和类似材料上印刷的印刷机，包括丝网印刷机；印刷工艺准备过程中使用的设备和印刷机上的附加设备也被视为印刷机。本标准还包括用于处理纸张、印刷机、印刷模板和油墨（印刷过程前后）的机械，以及清洁印刷模板和检查印刷质量的机械（辅助印刷机械）。纸张转换机，即以类似方式加工、转换或完成纸张、纸板和类似材料的机器。本文件涉及印刷和纸加工机械按预期使用时以及在制造商预见的条件下（见第4条）出现的所有常见重大危险。本文件不适用于在CEN发布本文件之前制造的印刷机和纸加工机。
