Overview

EN 1870-1:2007/prA1 is a draft amendment prepared by CEN/TC 142 that updates the European standard for the safety of circular sawing machines. It applies to circular saw benches (with or without sliding table), dimension saws and building-site saws and clarifies key requirements for marking, documentation and safe handling. This amendment supports conformity assessment under the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) by adding informative Annex ZB and refining presumption-of-conformity mappings.

Key Topics

• Modifications to the Foreword: updates the relationship text to reference informative Annexes ZA and ZB as integral parts of the document.
• Ergonomics and handling: components with mass exceeding 25 kg must include attachments (for example, lifting lugs) to permit safe fitting of lifting devices and to prevent overturning, falling or uncontrolled movement during transport, assembly, dismantling, disabling and scrapping.
• Marking of the machine: definition of required identification elements is clarified to include the business name and address of the manufacturer (or authorised representative), the year of construction (year manufacturing process completed), and the designation of the machinery and series/type.
• Instruction handbook: expanded content requirements include:
  • noise emission information (also flagged for sales literature);
  • instructions ensuring components cannot overturn or fall during the machine lifecycle;
  • operating procedures for accidents, breakdowns and safe unblocking of likely blockages;
  • specification of spare parts that affect operator health and safety.
• Annexes: Amendment to Annex ZA and addition of informative Annex ZB that maps clauses of this EN to the Essential Requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC.

Applications

This amendment is relevant to:

• machine manufacturers and designers updating technical documentation and machine design to meet safety and ergonomics requirements;
• technical authors preparing instruction handbooks, assembly and maintenance procedures;
• compliance and certification bodies assessing conformity to the Machinery Directive;
• procurement and safety managers specifying safer lifting and handling provisions for heavy machine components.

Benefits include clearer marking and traceability, improved ergonomics and safer handling during transport and maintenance, and strengthened linkage to EU conformity requirements.

Related Standards

• EN 1870-1:2007 (base standard) - original safety requirements for circular sawing machines
• Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC - Essential Requirements referenced via Annex ZB
• Work of CEN/TC 142 - technical committee responsible for woodworking machine safety

For implementers: treat this document as a draft amendment under unique acceptance procedure; it is distributed for review, may be amended, and becomes normative only after formal adoption and citation in the Official Journal.
