Scope
GB 46035-2025 is the English-translated version of 橡胶塑料机械 通用安全要求.
GB 46035-2025 is a type-C machinery safety standard that specifies the general safety requirements for the design and manufacture of rubber and plastics machinery and the specific safety requirements for each type of machine, covering machinery for rubber mixing, calendering, extrusion, cutting, building, vulcanizing and size reduction and for plastics mixing, calendering, extrusion, injection, moulding, weaving, casting, pelletizing and size reduction.
Its general clause sets requirements on ergonomics, operating positions, start, stop and restart functions, emergency stop, guards (including the access time formula t = d/v + t3 with an approach speed of 1.6 m/s and guard locking able to withstand at least 1 000 N), light curtains and AOPDDR, two-hand controls, pressure-sensitive devices, power-operated guards (contact force not above 300 N), safety-related control parts, automatic monitoring, moving parts, hoses, hot parts, noise, fumes and dust, slips and falls, and hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
Clauses 5 to 17 give the specific requirements for internal mixers, open mills, extruders, die face pelletizers, haul-offs, calenders, injection moulding machines, blade granulators, strand pelletizers, shredders, agglomerators, platen vulcanizing presses and tyre shaping and curing presses, Clause 18 covers information for use, and normative Annexes A to F give the list of harmonized standards, type I, II and III protection for movable guards and light curtains on hydraulic and electric drives, acknowledgement systems and the noise test code.
It partially replaces the mandatory content of GB 20055-2006, GB 25431.1 to 25431.3-2010, GB 25432-2010, GB 25434-2010 and GB 30747-2014, bringing their requirements together in one document with added general principles, ergonomics and operating position requirements.
It was issued on 1 August 2025 and has been in force since 1 August 2026. Classification: ICS 71.120 and 83.200, CCS G95. The document runs to 123 pages, delivered complete in English translation.

Foreword
This document has been drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2020 Directives for standardization - Part 1: Rules for the structure and drafting of standardizing documents.
This document partially replaces the mandatory content of GB 20055-2006 Safety requirements for open mills, GB 25431.1-2010 Rubber and plastics extruders and extrusion lines - Part 1: Safety requirements for extruders, GB 25431.2-2010 Rubber and plastics extruders and extrusion lines - Part 2: Safety requirements for die face pelletizers, GB 25431.3-2010 Rubber and plastics extruders and extrusion lines - Part 3: Safety requirements for haul-offs, GB 25432-2010 Safety requirements for platen vulcanizing presses, GB 25434-2010 Safety requirements for rubber and plastics calenders and GB 30747-2014 Safety requirements for tyre shaping and curing presses. Compared with the documents it replaces, apart from structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows:
a) the mandatory safety requirements for rubber and plastics machinery have been brought together in a unified form (see Clause 4);
b) general principles for the safety requirements have been added (see 4.1);
c) ergonomic requirements have been added (see 4.2);
d) requirements for operating positions have been added (see 4.3);
e) the specific safety requirements for the corresponding machines have been distilled (see Clauses 5 to 17);
f) the information for use of rubber and plastics machinery has been brought together in a unified form (see Clause 18);
g) type I protection, type II protection, type III protection, acknowledgement systems and the noise test code for rubber and plastics machinery have been brought together in a unified form (see Annexes B to F).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. The issuing body of this document shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
