Overview
EN 14677:2008 - Safety of machinery - Secondary steelmaking - Machinery and equipment for treatment of liquid steel is a European (CEN) Type C standard that specifies general safety requirements for secondary steelmaking machinery and equipment (SSE) used to treat liquid steel under vacuum or atmospheric conditions. The standard addresses hazards, foreseeable faults and misuse, and sets out safety expectations across the entire equipment lifecycle: design, assembly, transport, commissioning, operation, maintenance and decommissioning. It assumes operation and maintenance by competent, trained personnel.
Key topics and technical requirements
EN 14677:2008 focuses on practical safety measures and verification. Major technical topics include:
- Hazard identification and risk reduction for SSE, including foreseeable malfunctions and misuse.
- Design and layout requirements: safe access, operator positions, ergonomic principles and harmful-area protection.
- Safety control systems and emergency stops, power-loss behavior and grounding requirements for electrically heated or conductive parts.
- Fluid, hydraulic and pneumatic systems safety for media supply/discharge and exchange of lances.
- Vacuum systems and vacuum vessel safety, ventilation and pump considerations for vacuum secondary steelmaking processes.
- Material addition, blowing and stirring equipment safety (positioning, exchange, and interaction with other plant).
- Media handling and deslagging safety measures.
- Temperature measurement, sampling and electrical heating safety.
- Explosion prevention and protection, fire protection and noise reduction (Annex A covers noise test code).
- Verification, marking and documentation: manufacturer’s instruction handbook, operating and maintenance manuals, transport/assembly instructions, and required training of personnel.
The standard also lists what it does not cover (e.g., cranes, fork-lift trucks, ladles, relining/preheating equipment, burners covered by EN 746-2, and dust/fume exhaust systems) while still considering hazards arising from positioning heavy components.
Applications and users
EN 14677:2008 is essential for:
- Machine and equipment designers (OEMs) developing secondary steelmaking systems
- Plant engineers and safety managers at steel mills and foundries
- Integrators and system suppliers for vacuum treatment, stirring, blowing and material-addition systems
- Maintenance teams and commissioning engineers responsible for safe operation and lifecycle compliance
- Notified bodies and conformity assessors verifying compliance with EU machinery directives
Practical benefits include clearer compliance pathways, reduced operational risk, improved operator safety and consistent documentation for commissioning and audits.
Related standards
Relevant normative references and complementary standards include (examples):
- EN ISO 12100 (general principles of risk assessment and risk reduction)
- EN 746-2 (industrial thermoprocessing burners - excluded scope overlap)
- EN 294, EN 349, EN 614‑1/2 (safety distances, ergonomic design)
Using EN 14677:2008 helps organizations align secondary steelmaking machinery with European safety expectations and facilitate regulatory compliance.
