This standard specifies the essential safety requirements for injection moulding machines for the processing of plastics and/or rubber.
All hazards listed in Clause 4 are covered by this standard.
The following machines are not covered:
- machines on which the clamping unit can only be operated by the physical force of the operator;
- injection moulding machines with pneumatic drives for the platen movement;
- injection moulding machines with vertical platen movements driven by an electrical axis;
- blow moulding machines associated with an injection process (EN 422);
- machines for reaction injection moulding (RIM) (EN 1612-1);
- presses (EN 289)
- footwear moulding machines covered by EN 1845.
The safety requirements for the interaction between injection moulding machines and ancillary equipment are specified.
This standard covers magnetic clamping systems only if:
- machines have horizontal clamping units; and
- the mould area is protected by guards; and
- such systems are delivered at the same time as the injection moulding machine by the machine manufacturer.
This standard does not cover requirements for the design of an exhaust system.
This standard is not applicable to injection moulding machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication as an EN.

Diese Norm gilt für magnetische Spannsysteme nur, wenn:
- Maschinen eine horizontale Schließeinheit haben; und
- der Werkzeugbereich durch trennende Schutzeinrichtungen gesichert ist; und
- das Spannsystem gleichzeitig mit der Spritzgießmaschine vom Maschinenhersteller geliefert wird.
Diese Norm behandelt nicht die Anforderungen an die Gestaltung einer Absaugeinrichtung.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für Spritzgießmaschinen, die vor dem Ausgabedatum der Norm hergestellt wurden.
Machines pour les matières plastiques et le caoutchouc - Machines de moulage par injection - Prescriptions de sécurité
Le présent document spécifie les prescriptions essentielles de sécurité relatives aux machines de moulage par injection qui sont utilisées pour le moulage des matières plastiques et/ou du caoutchouc.
Tous les phénomènes dangereux énumérés à l'Article 4 sont traités dans le présent document.
Les machines suivantes sont exclues :
- machines dont l’unité de fermeture ne peut être actionnée que par la force de l’opérateur ;
- machines de moulage par injection à actionneurs pneumatiques pour les mouvements du plateau ;
- machines de moulage par injection verticales sur lesquelles le plateau mobile est entraîné par un axe électrique ;
- machines de moulage par soufflage associées à un processus d’injection (EN 422) ;
- machines de moulage par réaction (RIM) (EN 1612-1) ;
- presses (EN 289) ;
- machines de moulage pour articles chaussants couvertes par l’EN 1845.
Les prescriptions de sécurité relatives aux interactions entre les machines de moulage par injection et leurs équipements auxiliaires sont spécifiées.
La présente norme ne s’applique aux systèmes de bridage magnétique que si :
- l’unité de fermeture de la machine de moulage par injection est horizontale ; et
- l’accès à la zone du moule est empêché par des protecteurs ; et
- le système de bridage magnétique est livré par le constructeur de la machine de moulage par injection en même temps que la machine.
Le présent document ne contient pas de prescriptions relatives à la conception de systèmes d'aspiration.
Le présent document n'est pas applicable aux machines de moulage par injection fabriquées avant sa date de publication comme EN.
