Foreword
This European Standard (EN 12851:2005) 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by endorsement, at the latest by June 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by

European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive.
For relationship with EU Directive, see informative annex ZA which is an integral part of this document.
It is one of a series of standards on the design and construction of machines used in the catering industry:
 vegetable cutting machines;
 catering attachments for machines having an auxiliary drive hub;
 food processors and blenders;
 hand-held blenders and whisks;
 beam mixers;
 salad dryers;
 vegetable peelers;
 cooking kettles equipped with powered stirrer and/or mixer.
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
The use of attachments involves various mechanical hazards and the attachments themselves need to meet food
hygiene requirements.
A catering attachment is a mechanical device which takes its motive power from a unit which is not part of the
attachment. Some attachments are dedicated to a particular motive power source from the same manufacturers;
others are designed to be used on a range of machines and power units from any manufacturer.
Their extensive use in numerous countries justifies the need of a standard covering both safety and food hygiene
complementary to EN 1672-2 which states hygiene requirements for food processing machines.
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, harzardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which 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.
1 Scope
1.1 This European Standard specifies the safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of
the following catering attachments intended to be connected to an auxiliary drive hub of machines used in catering
(mainly but not exclusively planetary mixers) and to be used in the commercial and institutional catering industry:
 vegetable cutters and cheese graters;
 worm type attachments:
 fruit squeezers;
 meat mincers;
 pasta extruders;
 coffee grinder;
 strip cutters;
 planetary mixers and whippers;
 potato-mashers.
1.2 This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to
catering attachments, when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably
foreseeable by the manufacturer. It deals with the hazards due to the use, the maintenance, the cleaning, removal
of jammed food, feeding and changing the tool (see Clause 4).
1.3 This European Standard is not applicable to:
 catering attachments which are exclusively part of the equipment of the machines they are intended for (as
optional or standard equipment);

3.1 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 12100-1:2003 and the
following apply.
3.1.1
pusher device
non removable device assisting feeding, hinged to the hopper or other part of the attachment
3.1.2
plunger device
device assisting feeding, which is removable
3.2 Description
Attachments essentially consist of two parts:
a) A part common to all attachments which includes:
 a device which engages on a drive shaft from the driving machine;
 devices for fastening and positioning the attachment on the power drive machine either directly or via an
adapter which allows the attachment to fit to other connecting systems (or to other machines).
b) A part specific to the attachment which includes the tools. The main components of this part can be:
1) for vegetable cutting attachments and cheese grater (see Figure 1):
 a housing (5) into which a cutting device is inserted, the cutting device can be a blade (9) with or
without a grid (3);
 a cover (4) incorporating the product feed device which is fixed to the housing;
 a feed device which may be a feed hopper (6) with pusher device (1) and/or plunger device (2);
 disc, cylinder or cone fitted with cutting/grating device of variable size (11) (the vegetable cutting
attachment can be equipped with such tools), for cheese graters.
Food product is loaded into the feed device and held against to the cutting device by manual pressure
on the pusher or plunger. When the food is cut, it falls from the hou
