Stroji za predelavo hrane - Stroji za rezanje zelenjave - Varnostne in higienske zahteve (vključno z dopolnilom A1)

Ta evropski standard določa varnostne in higienske zahteve za načrtovanje in izdelavo strojev za rezanje zelenjave, ki so premični in imajo najvišjo nazivno moč nižjo kot 3kW. Ta evropski standard obravnava stroje, namenjene rezanju, strganju, rezanju v kocke, rezanje na rezine in strganju živil, pri katerih proizvod gre skozi stroj. Kot je opisano v 3.2.1., so vrste strojev, ki jih obravnava, stroji z fiksno posodo in rotirajočim rezilom ali rezilnim diskom, z rotirajočim bobnom in fiksnimi rezili ali stroji s horizontalnimi izmeničnimi rezili (uporaba v glavnem za rezanje krompirja na rezine). Ta evropski standard obravnava vse velike nevarnosti, nevarne situacije in primere, ki se tičejo strojev za rezanje zelenjave, kadar se uporabljajo, kot predvideno, in pod pogoji napačne uporabe, ki jih razumno predvidi proizvajalec (glej Klavzulo 4). Ta evropski standard se ukvarja z nevarnostmi, ki se lahko pojavijo med zagonom, delovanjem, čiščenjem, odstranitvijo blokad hrane, polnjenjem, menjavo orodij, vzdrževanjem in izločitvijo naprave iz uporabe.
