European foreword
This document (prEN 415-7:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 146 “Packaging
machines - Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 415-7:2006+A1:2008.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
— Scope now includes cartoning machines;
— Safety requirements have been rewritten so they are in line with EN 415-10:2014;
— Normative references have been changed to reflect the many changes that have been made to B1 and
B2 standards.
Other Parts of EN 415, Safety of packaging machines, include:
— Part 1: Terminology and classification of packaging machines and associated equipment
— Part 2: Pre-formed rigid container packaging machines
— Part 3: Form, fill and seal machines; fill and seal machines

prEN 415-7:2022 (E)
Introduction
Cartoning and case packing machines are used extensively in Europe, in an increasingly wide range of
industries. They contain many hazards and have the potential to cause serious injury.
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate in the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in Clause 1.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other
standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C
standard.
This document makes several references to EN 415-10:2014, but where requirements of this document
are different from those which are stated in EN 415-10:2014, the requirements of this document take
precedence over the requirements of EN 415-10:2014.
Combined function machines
Where a machine covered by EN 415-7 incorporates a mechanism described by another standard in the
EN 415 series, that mechanism shall comply with the requirements of the relevant standard.
Example 1: In the case of a palletizer which incorporates case packing mechanisms, the palletizing
mechanisms should comply with EN 415-4:1997 and the case packing mechanisms should comply with
EN 415-7.
Example 2: In the case of a cartoner which incorporates thermoform fill and seal mechanisms, the
cartoning mechanisms should comply with EN 415-7 and the thermoform fill and seal mechanisms
should comply with EN 415-3.
