Food processing machinery - Bread slicers - Safety and hygiene requirements

1.1   This document specifies safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of bread slicing machines of type 1 and 2 as defined in Clause 3.
The intended use of these machines is to cut baked bread into slices.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to bread slicers machines, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This document covers requirements for the safe operation of the machine including: loading, cutting, unloading, cleaning, crumb removal and maintenance.
These machines can be manually or automatically operated.
1.2   The following machines are excluded from the scope of this document:
-   experimental and testing machines under development by the manufacturer;
-   frame cutter machines with multiple blades moving horizontally;
-   domestic appliances and machines intended for use by the general public;
-   machines with horizontal circular cutting systems;
-   rectangular cutting machines for cutting or sawing of panel size products into small pieces.
The significant hazards covered by this document are described in Clause 4.
1.4   In writing this document, it has been assumed that the bread slicers falling within the scope are operated only by trained personnel and that the machines are not intended to be cleaned with water jet.
1.5   This document applies to bread slicing machines which are manufactured before the date of publication by CEN of this document.

Foreword
This European Standard (EN 13954:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 153 “Food
processing machinery — Safety and hygiene specifications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the
latest by April 2006.
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
This European Standard is complementary to EN 14655:2005 that is covering bread slicing machines with
crescent blade(s) (type 3).
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,

and United Kingdom.
Introduction
There are various types of bread slicing machines. They are divided mainly into the following types:
 Type 1: Frame cutter machines with multiple blades moving vertically;
 Type 2: Machines with rotary crescent (sickle) or circular blade fixed to a shaft with oscillating movement
and horizontal manual loading;
 Type 3: Machines with crescent blade fixed to a shaft, with a rotating movement and vertical manual
loading;
 Type 4: Machines with one or more rotating band blades.
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1:2003.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this European Standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those that are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines
that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
