This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for the design, manufacture and information for use for the machines mentioned above, known with the name of presses, classified as stationary units  which cannot be moved when in operation.
The pasta press begins with the dosing unit and ends with the die. The press includes the following processes:
- dosing solid and liquid ingredients,
- mixing the ingredients,
- extruding the dough,
- forming the dough,
Cutting unit is excluded.
This draft European Standard does not apply to:
- household machines,
- batch machines.
The significant hazards covered by this standard are listed in clause 4.
These hazards, as well as the measures for their reduction, are described in the present European Standard.
Ancillary equipment, which is not an integral part of the press (e.g. hoppers, conveyors,  etc), is not covered by this draft European Standard.
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
This European Standard is not applicable to machines in its scope which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.

Food processing machinery - Basic concepts - Part 2: Hygiene and cleanability requirements
SIST EN 1672-2:2021

1.1   This document specifies common hygiene and cleanability requirements for machinery and machine components used in preparing and processing food for human (see informative Annex A) and, where relevant, animal feed processing to eliminate or minimize the risk of contagion, infection, illness or injury arising from this food to an acceptable level. It identifies the hazards which are significant to the use of such food processing machinery and describes design methods and information for use for the elimination or reduction of these risks.
Additional and/or deviant hygiene and cleanability requirements may be given in applicable C-standards for specific machines or categories of machinery.
NOTE   Separate hygiene and cleanability requirements are contained in other EU-Directives or -Regulations (see Bibliography).
Examples of hygiene risks and acceptable solutions are given in the informative Annex B.
This document may also be used for machinery, components or other equipment used for other purposes than food preparing or processing, if cleanability is required.
1.2   This document does not deal with the hygiene-related risks to operators arising from the use of the machine.
1.3   This document is not applicable to machines manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.

Food processing machinery - Rotary rack ovens - Safety and hygiene requirements
SIST EN 1673:2021

This document specifies safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of rotary rack ovens which can be used with one or more mobile racks.
These ovens are intended for professional use in the food industry and workshops (bakeries, pastry-making, etc.) for the batch baking of foodstuffs containing flour, water and other ingredients and/or additives. This document applies to ovens used only for food products except for those containing volatile flammable ingredients (volatile organic compound, e.g. alcohol, oil, …). This document applies to ovens where the steam is generated by an evaporation process of drinking water on hot surfaces.
The following machines are excluded:
- experimental and testing machines under development by the manufacturer;
- machines for non-professional uses.
NOTE Due to the fact that rotary rack ovens are intended for professional uses, EN 60335-1 and EN 60335-2-42 are not applicable.
This document covers the technical safety requirements for the transport, installation, operation, cleaning and maintenance of these machines (see EN ISO 12100:2010, Clause 6).
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to rotary rack ovens when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see informative Annex C).
The following hazards are not covered by this document:
- hazards from the use of gaseous fuel by gas appliances;
- hazards arising from electromagnetic compatibility issues;
- hazards from the use of trays made of or coated by silicone;
- hazards due to dismantling, disabling and scrapping.
This document does not deal with noise emitted by the machine.
This document is not applicable to rotary rack ovens which were manufactured before the date of its publication as an EN.

Food processing machinery - Slicing machines - Safety and hygiene requirements
SIST EN 1974:2021

This document specifies the safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture, installation, training, use, cleaning and maintenance of slicing machines which are fitted with a motor-driven blade of more than 150 mm in diameter, provided with a product support. These types of slicing machines are intended to be used in shops, restaurants, supermarkets, canteens, etc. to slice foodstuffs.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to slicing machines, when they are used as intended by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This document applies to the hazards arising during all the phases of the life of the machine as described in EN ISO 12100:2010, 5.4.
Automatic industrial slicing machines covered by EN 16743:2016 are excluded from the scope of this document.
This document covers the following types of slicing machines:
-   horizontal feed slicing machine (see Figure 1);
-   gravity feed slicing machine (see Figure 2).
Both types can have an either hand-operated or power-operated carriage to move the product towards the blade. They both can be fitted with manual or automatic devices to receive and convey the slices away from the machine. All these types can also be provided with a scale.
This document applies to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of this document.
