Overview

EN 13954:2005+A1:2010 (CEN) - "Food processing machinery - Bread slicers - Safety and hygiene requirements" defines safety and hygiene requirements for commercial bread-slicing machines of type 1 (frame cutters with multiple vertical blades) and type 2 (machines with rotary crescent or circular blades). The standard addresses all significant hazards reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer during intended use and foreseeable misuse, and covers machine lifecycle tasks such as loading, cutting, unloading, cleaning, crumb removal and maintenance. It assumes operation by trained personnel and excludes household appliances, experimental machines, certain horizontal blade designs and machines intended to be cleaned with water jets.

Key Topics

• Scope and machine types: Clarifies inclusion (type 1 & 2) and explicit exclusions (domestic, experimental, horizontal multi-blade frame cutters, horizontal circular cutting systems, large panel saws).
• Hazard identification: Mechanical (cutting, shearing, crushing, entanglement, drawing-in, loss of stability), electrical, hygiene, ergonomic, cleaning/handling, and noise risks.
• Protective measures: Requirements for guards, interlocks, safe access, stable design, and hygienic construction to prevent contamination and enable safe maintenance and cleaning.
• Hygiene and cleanability: Design principles to ensure surfaces, crumb removal and disassembly support sanitary processing (Annex B: principles of cleanability).
• Control systems & electrical safety: Compliance expectations referencing electrical equipment and safety-related control parts.
• Verification & testing: Procedures for verification of safety and hygiene measures, including noise test code (Annex A).
• Information for use: Required instruction handbook content and machine marking for safe operation, maintenance and user training.
• Assumptions & limitations: Machines are not intended for water-jet cleaning and are operated by trained personnel; the standard does not apply retroactively to pre-publication equipment.

Applications / Who Uses This Standard

• Manufacturers and machine designers - to design and certify bread slicers that meet EU safety and hygiene expectations.
• Food processing plant engineers and safety managers - for procurement specs, risk assessments and safe operation procedures.
• Compliance officers and notified bodies - for conformity assessment and documentation required under relevant EU directives.
• Maintenance teams and trainers - to develop safe maintenance, cleaning and operator training materials.

Practical uses include specifying guards and interlocks, designing hygienic surfaces, preparing instruction manuals, setting maintenance/cleaning regimes, and performing noise and safety verification.

Related Standards

EN 13954 complements and references other standards such as EN 14655 (type 3 crescent blade machines), EN 1672‑2 (hygiene for food machinery), EN ISO 12100 (risk assessment/design principles), EN 60204‑1 (electrical equipment), EN ISO 13849‑1 (safety-related control systems) and relevant acoustics standards for noise measurement.

Key 1 cutting side of slicing blades 2 frame d distance from edge of frame to slicing blades Figure 5 — Minimum distance The operating lever shall command the start function of the blades. If the lever is released the machine shall stop and the lever shall return to the rest position ("hold-to-run"). The design of the bread pusher and the comb shall prevent access to the blades at the end of the pusher’s movement. On machines where the frame supporting the blades moves relative to the machine frame, the crushing hazard between the blade frame and the machine frame shall be avoided. To achieve this, the maximum clearance between the blade frame and the machine frame, where accessible, shall be less than 4 mm. 5.2.1.2.2 Type 1b machines (automatic) The slicing blades and in-feed device shall be protected by one of the following methods:  an interlocking guard, which prevents access to the cutting side of the blades and the infeed device; or  a control guard, complying with 5.4.9 of EN 953:1997, which when closed prevents access to the cutting side of the blades and the infeed device and initiates the operation of the blades and the in-feed device; or  !an active opto-electronic protective device (AOPD) of type 2 in accordance with EN 61496-1:2004, while the related part of the control system shall meet a performance level d and category 3 in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1:2008." In all cases, the dimensions of any openings in the guard shall be in accordance with Table 4 of
!EN ISO 13857:2008". Opening of the guard or actuation of the active opto-electronic protective device shall cause the machine to stop in the shortest possible time, but in no case exceed 1 s. 5.2.1.2.3 Type 1c machines (automatic with continuous feeding) The slicing blades and in-feed device shall be protected by an interlocking guard. The safety distance from the edge of the bread in-feed opening to the nearest danger zone shall be greater than or equal to 850 mm. The height of the opening of the tunnel shall be limited to 200 mm.

Under normal stopping conditions, the blade shall come to a standstill in such a position that the cutting edge of the blade does not protrude into the cutting area. 5.2.2.1.2 Specific requirements for interlocking devices without guard locking, associated with guards preventing from access to the blade This solution shall only be used if after activation of the device the blade stops within the shortest stopping time from the following: 0,5 s, or a half rotation for a rotating blade/a half cycle of oscillating blades. If necessary for achieving these objectives a braking device shall be provided. Otherwise the interlocking device shall be with guard locking in accordance with 5.2.2.1.3. The interlocking device shall be activated after opening of the guard by more than 10 mm. The specified stopping time shall also be achieved after actuation of the emergency stop, or in the event of a power failure. Instruction for use shall recommend regular inspection and maintenance, and define the elements to be check in order to maintain operating effectiveness of the braking device. 5.2.2.1.3 Specific requirements for interlocking devices with guard locking, associated with guards preventing from access to the blade !The safety related parts of the monitoring system shall meet at least a performance level c and at least category 1 in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1:2008." The locking shall be effective even in the event of a power failure. 5.2.2.2 Zone 1: Movement of the feed device in feed trough Unless hazards can be eliminated by design in accordance with 4.2 of EN ISO 12100-2:2003 access shall be prevented by the use of a control guard according to 5.4.9 of EN 953:1997. 5.2.2.3 Zone 2: Rotating blade in cutting area, access from feed trough As far as this hazard is not dealt with by the safety measures for zone 1, access into the danger zones in the cutting area shall be prevented:  either by an interlocking guard with guard locking over the feed trough according to 3.25.5 of EN ISO 12100-1:2003 (see 5.2.2.1.3) SIST EN 13954:2006+A1:2010

The discharge trough shall be guarded or the aperture on the discharge side shall be designed according to Table 4 of !EN ISO 13857:2008". If the opening of the discharge trough is larger than 120 mm (see Table 4 of !EN ISO 13857:2008"), the length L2 of the discharge trough shall be at least 1 200 mm (see Figure 7). With a distance to the blade plane greater than or equal to 1 200 mm and an aperture less than or equal to 120 mm, the trough end may be open.
