Overview

EN 12629-2:2002/FprA1 (CEN) is the Type C European standard that specifies safety requirements for block making machines used in the manufacture of constructional products from concrete and calcium‑silicate (for example: blocks, kerbs, paving stones). It is intended to be used together with EN 12629-1:2000+A1:2010 (common requirements). The 2010 draft amendment (FprA1) updates normative references, clarifies scope and responsibilities, and adds informative annexes relating to EU machinery directives.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and application: Applies to machines for producing blocks, kerbs, paving stones and similar products, covering significant hazards when used as intended and for reasonably foreseeable misuse.
• Type C status: Takes precedence over Type A/B standards for machines designed to this document.
• Safety requirements and protective measures: Specifies additional or deviating requirements from EN 12629-1 and requires design according to EN ISO 12100 principles for hazards not fully covered.
• Verification and conformity: Includes clauses on verification of safety measures and conformity with the standard’s normative clauses.
• Information for use and marking: Requires manufacturer documentation (instruction handbook) that explains installation, positioning, verification means (e.g., where building walls are used as protection), warnings and marking.
• Annexes and hazard mapping:
  • Annex A: mechanical hazard zones for a typical block making machine and associated measures.
  • Annex ZA and new Annex ZB: describe relationships with EU Directives (98/37/EC and 2006/42/EC) and explain how compliance supports presumption of conformity.
• Updated normative references: Aligns the standard with current machine safety references such as EN ISO 12100-1/2, EN ISO 13850 (emergency stop), EN ISO 13857 (safety distances) and IEC/EN 60204-1 (electrical equipment).

Applications and users

Who uses EN 12629-2:

• Machine manufacturers and designers - for safe design, guarding and controls of block making equipment.
• Safety engineers and CE assessors - to demonstrate compliance with EU machinery directives (2006/42/EC).
• Plant owners / integrators - for safe installation, layout and verification of protective measures on site.
• Operators and maintenance staff - via required instruction handbooks and markings to ensure safe use and maintenance.

Practical uses:

• Conducting risk assessments and selecting protective measures
• Preparing technical documentation for conformity assessment
• Defining guarding, emergency stop requirements and safety distances
• Informing procurement specifications and installation planning

Related standards

• EN 12629-1:2000+A1:2010 (Common requirements)
• EN ISO 12100-1/-2 (Risk assessment and design principles)
• EN ISO 13850 (Emergency stop)
• EN ISO 13857 (Safety distances)
