Overview
EN 13743:2017 - Safety requirements for coated abrasive products (CEN) defines safety, testing and information requirements for a range of coated abrasives used in grinding and finishing operations. It applies to flap wheels, flap discs, vulcanised fibre discs, spindle-mounted flap wheels and back-up pads (for vulcanised fibre discs) made with aluminium oxide, silicon carbide, diamond or CBN grains. The standard specifies design and manufacturing controls, marking, user information and verification tests to reduce hazards such as ejection of parts, dust/particles, contact and vibration.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and product types: Covers coated abrasive products and combinations of coated/non-woven products listed above; excludes fully non-woven web abrasives.
- Design & manufacture: Products must resist expected forces and show no visible safety-affecting defects.
- Maximum operating speeds: Specifies a sequence of permitted peripheral speeds (e.g., 16, 20, 25, 32, 35, 40, 45, 50, 63, 80 m/s) and conversion guidance to rotational speed (Annex C).
- Safety factors:
- Typical burst safety factor Sbr = 3 for many products; Sbr = 3.5 for some back-up pads and certain size/usage conditions.
- Spindle deflection safety factor Sab = 1.3 for spindle-mounted flap wheels.
- Verification & testing:
- Visual inspection for defects.
- Centrifugal/bursting speed test (mounted on a test rig) to determine bursting speed and verify safety factors; rotational speed measurement accuracy ±1%.
- Marking & user information: Marking requirements (Annex A), colour codes (Annex B) and manufacturer-supplied safety/use information are mandatory to ensure correct selection and mounting.
- Hazard list: Clause 4 lists significant hazards (ejection of parts, grinding debris/dust, vibration, contact, noise) and references Clause 7 for use/handling mitigations.
