Continuous handling equipment and systems - Safety and EMC requirements for equipment for mechanical handling of unit loads
This standard applies to mechanical conveyor devices designed exclusively for moving unit loads continuously on a predefined route from the loading to the unloading point, possibly with varying speed or cyclically. It also applies to continuous conveyors which are built into machines or attached to machines.
Stetigförderer und Systeme - Sicherheits- und EMV- Anforderungen an mechanische Fördereinrichtungen für Stückgut
Diese Norm gilt für mechanische Fördereinrichtungen, bei denen bestimmungsgemäss ausschliesslich Stückgut auf festgelegtem Förderweg von Aufgabe zu Abgabestelle stetig, evtl. mit wechselnder Geschwindigkeit oder im Takt, bewegt werden kann. Diese Norm gilt auch für Stetigförderer, die in Maschinen ein- oder an Maschinen angebaut sind.
Equipements et systèmes de manutention continue - Prescriptions de sécurité et de CEM pour les équipements de manutention mécanique des charges isolées
1.1 La présente Norme européenne traite des prescriptions techniques destinées à réduire au minimum les phénomènes dangereux indiqués dans l'article 4 et l'Annexe B. Ces phénomènes dangereux peuvent survenir pendant l'utilisation et l'entretien des équipements et systèmes de manutention continue, lorsque ceux-ci se déroulent conformément aux spécifications du constructeur ou de son mandataire. La présente norme traite des vérifications techniques liées à la sécurité qui doivent être effectuées pendant la mise en service.
1.2 La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux matériels de manutention mécanique définis à l'article 3, pris séparément ou associés pour constituer un système de manutention, et conçus exclusivement pour le transport en continu de charges isolées suivant un itinéraire prédéterminé entre un point de chargement et un point de déchargement, que ce soit à une vitesse variable ou selon des cycles. D'une manière générale, elle s'applique également aux transporteurs continus intégrés ou reliés à des ensembles mécanisés.
1.3 Les prescriptions et/ou mesures de sécurité de la présente norme s'appliquent à des équipements quel que soit le type d'environnement dans lequel ils sont utilisés. Toutefois, il convient d'envisager les risques et les mesures de sécurité supplémentaires, liés à des conditions d'utilisation particulièrement rudes, par exemple applications en chambres froides, températures élevées, environnements corrosifs, champs magnétiques importants, atmosphères potentiellement explosives, conditions et charges radioactives de nature à entraîner une situation dangereuse (par exemple, métal en fusion, milieux acides ou basiques, charges particulièrement friables, explosifs), les applications navales embarquées, les applications en conditions sismiques, ainsi que les applications impliquant un contact avec des denrées alimentaires. Les phénomènes dangereux liés à la mise hors service ne sont pas traités.

Introduction
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this standard.
While producing this standard it was assumed that :
only competent persons operate the machine ;
components without specific requirements are :
a) designed in accordance with the usual engineering practice and calculation codes, including all failure
modes ;
b) of sound mechanical and electrical construction ;
c) made of materials with adequate strength and of suitable quality ;
d) made of materials free of defects ;
harmful materials, such as asbestos are not used as part of the machine ;
components are kept in good repair and working order, so that the required characteristics remain despite
wear ;
by design of the load bearing elements, a safe operation of the machine is assured for loading ranging from
zero to 100 % of the rated possibilities and during the tests ;
dialogue has taken place between the user and the supplier concerning the conditions for the use and places
of use of the machinery ;
the working area is adequately lit ;
the places of installation allow a safe use of the machine.
1 Scope
1.1 This European standard deals with the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in clause 4 and
annex B. These hazards can arise during the operation and maintenance of continuous handling equipment and
systems when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised
representative. This standard deals with safety related technical verification during commissioning.
1.2 This standard applies to mechanical handling devices defined in clause 3, singly or combined to form a
conveyor system, and designed exclusively for moving unit loads continuously on a predefined route from the
loading to the unloading points, possibly with varying speed or cyclically. In general, it also applies to conveyors
which are built into machines or attached to machines.
1.3 Safety requirements and/or measures in this standard apply to equipment used in all environments.
However, additional risk assessments and safety measures need to be considered for uses in severe conditions,
e.g. freezer applications, high temperatures, corrosive environments, strong magnetic fields, potentially explosive
atmospheres, radioactive conditions and loads the nature of which could lead to a dangerous situation (e.g. molten
metal, acids/bases, specially brittle loads, explosives) operation on ships and earthquake effects and also contact
with foodstuff. Hazards during decommissioning are not covered.
1.4 This European Standard deals with the technical requirements for electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC).
1.5 This standard does not cover hazards during decommissioning and hazards generated by noise. It also does
not cover operation in environments where the electromagnetic disturbances are outside the range of those
specified in EN 61000-6-2.
This standard does not apply to conveying equipment and systems used underground or in public areas and to
aircraft ground support equipment.
NOTE 1 Aircraft ground support equipment is covered by the standards of CEN/TC 247.
NOTE 2 Conveying equipment and systems used in public areas will be covered in an amendment.
NOTE 3 Hazards generated by noise will be dealt with in an amendment.
