La norme EN 12413:2007/FprA1, intitulée "Exigences de sécurité pour les produits abrasifs liés", démontre un cadre essentiel pour assurer la sécurité des produits abrasifs rotatifs. Elle cible spécifiquement les exigences relatives à l'élimination ou à la réduction des risques associés à la conception et à l'application de ces produits, ce qui en fait un document crucial pour les fabricants et les utilisateurs. Un des points forts de cette norme est son exhaustivité dans le traitement des risques potentiels, comme indiqué à la clause 4. Elle fournit des procédures et des tests pour vérifier la conformité aux exigences, assurant ainsi que tous les produits respectent des standards de sécurité rigoureux. L'ajout d'informations de sécurité que le fabricant doit rendre disponibles à l'utilisateur renforce également sa valeur en tant que ressource informative. Cependant, il est à noter que la réglementation a été modifiée par rapport à l'ancienne version, EN 12413:1999, ce qui a conduit à une simplification de la table des inspections. Ce changement a abouti à un resserrement de la portée d'inspection pour "tous les autres produits abrasifs", tel que spécifié dans la Table 7 de la norme EN 12413:2007. Bien que ce resserrement n’ait peut-être pas été justifié techniquement, cela met en évidence l'importance d'une révision continue et d'une évaluation des normes pour refléter adéquatement les besoins et les attentes de l'industrie. Dans l'ensemble, la norme EN 12413:2007/FprA1 reste d'une grande pertinence pour le secteur, car elle contribue directement à la sécurité des opérations impliquant des produits abrasifs liés, tout en tenant compte des aspects pratiques pour les utilisateurs finaux. Cette norme ne s'applique cependant pas aux superabrasifs et aux produits abrasifs revêtus, ce qui est un point à considérer pour les professionnels du secteur.
