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text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the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,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
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.
