This document (prEN 620:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 148

“Continuous handling equipment and systems - Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.

This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 620:2002+A1:2010.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and

the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directives.

For relationship with EU Directives, see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are integral parts

of this document.

This standard forms part of a series of five standards the titles of which are given below:

— EN 617 “Continuous handling equipment and systems — Safety and EMC requirements for the

equipment for the storage of bulk materials in silos, bunkers, bins and hoppers”;

— EN 618 “Continuous handling equipment and systems — Safety and EMC requirements for

equipment for mechanical handling of bulk materials except fixed belt conveyors”;

Introduction
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.

The products concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of

this standard.
While producing this standard it was assumed that:

— clarifications occur between the manufacturer and the purchaser concerning particular

conditions for the use and places of use for the machinery (typically considering adjacent

machinery, means of access, guarding concept, control systems) related to health and safety.

An agreement is needed between the manufacturer and purchaser about belt material

considering specific risk e.g. fire;
— only suitably trained persons operate this machinery;

— the machinery will be kept in good repair and working order, in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions, to retain specified health and safety characteristics throughout its

working life;
— the place of installation is adequately lit.
— the place of installation will allow safe use of the machinery;

— by design of the load bearing elements, the safe operation of the system and components is

ensured for loading ranging from zero to 100 % of the rated capacities and during testing;

— all parts of the machinery without specific requirements, will be:

a) made from materials of adequate strength and durability and of suitable quality for their

intended purpose;

b) designed in accordance with the usual engineering practice and engineering codes, taking

account of all failure modes and incorporating appropriate safety factors.

Requirements for electromagnetic compatibility are also covered.
1.2 This document does not give the additional requirements for:
a) use in coal mining and open cast lignite mining;
b) use for man-riding;
c) floating, dredging and ship mounted structures supporting the conveyor;

d) biological and chemical hazards resulting from handling foodstuffs or pharmaceuticals;

e) the design of the supporting structure which is not part of a conveyor;
f) the effects of wind;

g) hazards resulting from handling specific hazardous materials, (e.g. explosives, radiating

material);

h) hazards resulting from contact with or inhalation of harmful fluids, gases, mists, fumes or dust;

i) biological and micro-biological (viral or bacterial) hazards;
j) hazards due to heat radiation from the materials handled;
k) hazards caused by operation in electromagnetic fields outside the range of
EN 61000-6-2:2005;

l) hazards caused by operation subject to special regulations (e.g. explosive atmospheres);

m) hazards caused by the use of ionising radiation sources;

n) conveyors using a moving belt with other than a continuous rubber or polymeric surface for

the conveying medium.

The safety requirements of this standard apply to equipment and systems placed on the market

after the date of publication of this standard.

NOTE Directive 2014/34/EC concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in

potentially explosive atmospheres can be applicable to the type of machine or equipment covered by this

European Standard. The present standard is not intended to provide means of complying completely with

the essential health and safety requirements of Directive 2014/34/EC.

3.1
conveyor system
number of linked conveyors with their ancillary equipment
3.2
belt conveyor
conveyor with an endless belt acting as a carrying and traction element

Note 1 to entry: Some shortened form of belt conveyor, normally running at slow speed, designed to

extract or control the rate of flow of bulk materials from hoppers are called belt feeder.

3.2.1
troughed belt conveyor

belt conveyor (3.2) where the support idlers (3.4.4) or suitable flat sliding surfaces which impart a

transverse curvature to the belt less than 45°

Note 1 to entry: If the angle between the support idlers (3.4.4) and the horizontal plane is more than 45°,

a troughed belt conveyor can be called a deep troughed belt conveyor.
3.2.2
pipe belt conveyor
pipe conveyor
belt conveyor (3.2) where the belt forms a pipe
3.2.3
walled belt conveyor

belt conveyor (3.2) where the belt has its flat carrying face extended to form side walls of limited

height

3.2.4
radial conveyor

belt conveyor (3.2) which is pivoted at one end and may be mounted on wheels or skids at a point

along its length, which permits movement in a horizontal arc
3.3
Ancillary equipment
3.3.1
feed hopper
device at the loading point of the belt conveyor (3.2) for receiving material
Note 1 to entry: See Figure 1, key 1.
3.3.2
tripper

device usually comprising two or more pulleys (3.4.7), mounted either in a fixed position or on a

travelling carriage, for discharging material at selected points or at any point along the length of a

belt conveyor (3.2)
3.3.3
chute
pathway by which materials are guided and fall under gravity
