EN 617:2001

Continuous handling equipment and systems - Safety and EMC requirements for the equipment for the storage of bulk materials in silos, bunkers, bins and hoppers

This European Standard deals with the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in clause 4 and annex A. These hazards can arise during the operation and maintenance of equipment to store bulk materials in silos, bunkers, bins and hoppers and their built-in inlet and outlet devices when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. This standard deals with safety related technical verification during commissioning.
The following parts are dealt with in this standard (see Figure 1)
A   Bulk material to be stored
B   Storage space limited by the silo structure
C   Charging
D   Discharging
E   Associated and additional equipment (e.g. flow aid devices, instrumentation, local control systems)
F   Working and traffic area
Figure 1 - Parts of a storage equipment
NOTE   Silos are made of different materials e.g. concrete, steel, aluminium, spun rayon, wood.
Safety requirements and/or measures in this standard apply to equipment used in all environments. However, additional risk assessment and safety measures need to be considered in severe conditions, e.g. low or high temperatures out of the range covered by EN 60204-1, corrosive environments, strong magnetic fields, radioactive conditions and bulk materials to be stored included their flow the nature of which could lead to a dangerous situation.
This standard does not cover requirements for :
- movable, non permanent storage equipment such as road vehicles, rail wagons, containers for bulk materials, ships and barges ;
- blow tanks and pressure vessels as used in pneumatic conveying systems ;
- stockpiles and flat storage ;
- storage equipment for non bulk materials (liquid, gas, slurries, sludge, silage) ;
- dismantling and transport of storage equipments;
- procedure for entering the silo and behaviour of persons inside the silo;
- storage equipments for underground mining.
This European Standard deals with the technical requirements...

Stetigförderer und Systeme - Sicherheits- und EMV-Anforderungen an Einrichtungen für die Lagerung von Schüttgütern in Silos, Bunkern, Vorratsbehältern und Trichtern

Diese Europäische Norm behandelt die technischen Anforderungen, um die im Abschnitt 4 und Anhang A aufgeführten Gefährdungen zu minimieren. Diese Gefährdungen können während des Betriebs und der Wartung von Einrichtungen zur Lagerung von Schüttgütern in Silos, Bunkern, Vorratsbehältern und Trichtern und ihren angebauten Eintritts- und Austrittsorganen entstehen, wenn diese Tätigkeiten nach den Angaben des Herstellers oder dessen autorisierten Bevollmächtigten durchgeführt werden. Diese Norm befasst sich mit der sicherheitsrelevanten technischen Verifikation während der Inbetriebnahme.

Equipements et systèmes de manutention continue - Prescriptions de sécurité et de CEM pour les équipements de stockage des produits en vrac en silos, soutes, réservoirs et trémies

Domaine d'application
La présente norme européenne traite des exigences techniques visant à minimiser les phénomènes dangereux énumérés à l'article 4 et dans l'annexe A. Ces phénomènes dangereux peuvent se produire au cours du fonctionnement et de la maintenance des équipements de stockage des produits en vrac en silos, soutes, réservoirs et trémies ainsi que de leurs dispositifs d'entrée et de sortie intégrés, lorsque ce fonctionnement et cette maintenance s'effectuent conformément aux spécifications données par le constructeur ou son représentant autorisé. La présente norme traite de la vérification technique liée à la sécurité lors de la mise en service.Les exigences et/ou mesures de sécurité de la présente norme s'appliquent aux équipements utilisés dans tous les types d'environnement. Toutefois, une estimation du risque et des mesures de sécurité complémentaires doivent être envisagées dans des conditions sévères, par exemple températures faibles ou élevées ne relevant pas de la plage couverte par l'EN 60204-1, environnements corrosifs, champs magnétiques élevés, conditions radioactives et produits en vrac à stocker y compris leur écoulement dont la nature pourrait provoquer une situation dangereuse.
La présente norme ne couvre pas les exigences relatives :
aux équipements de stockage déplaçables, non fixes, tels que véhicules routiers, wagons de chemin de fer, conteneurs pour produits en vrac, navires et barges ;
aux réservoirs d'expédition et aux réservoirs à pression utilisés dans les systèmes de manutention pneumatique ;
au stockage en tas et sur plancher ;
aux équipements pour le stockage de produits autres que les produits en vrac (liquides, gaz, schlamms, boues, ensilage) ;
au démontage et au transport des systèmes de stockage ;
