This document deals with these significant hazards by defining safety requirements and/or measures or by reference to relevant standards. These hazards are listed in Table 2 in accordance with EN ISO 12100:2010, Annex B. If gaseous pollutants occur at the working area, they will be partly removed from the working area by the extraction system for wood dust and chips. However, the gaseous pollutants are not separated by the extraction system for dust and chips. The explosion risk on dust extractors covered by this standard is reduced to a fast combustion only due to the following design properties: — there is just a limited crude air volume compared to the total volume of the dust extractor; — the geometry of the crude air volume hinders the combustion process; — the ratio between surface and volume of the crude air part deflates the combustion process.

Die Norm EN 16770:2018 behandelt die Sicherheitsanforderungen für Span- und Staubabsauganlagen, die für die Inneninstallation in Verbindung mit Holzbearbeitungsmaschinen vorgesehen sind. Der Anwendungsbereich der Norm ist klar definiert und konzentriert sich auf alle signifikanten Gefahren sowie gefahrbringenden Situationen, die in Absatz 4 aufgeführt sind. Diese Fokussierung gewährleistet, dass die Norm relevante Sicherheitsaspekte ausreichend abdeckt, während sie den spezifischen Herausforderungen der Holzbearbeitung Rechnung trägt. Eine der Stärken dieser Norm ist die detaillierte Analyse und Berücksichtigung von möglichen Fehlanwendungen, die unter Bedingungen eintreten können, die vom Hersteller vorgesehen werden. Damit wird nicht nur die Sicherheit der Benutzer, sondern auch die des gesamten Arbeitsumfeldes erhöht. Die klare Abgrenzung der Anwendbarkeit, insbesondere bezüglich der Ausschlüsse für Systeme mit einer Nennvolumenstromrate über 8.000 m³/h oder spezifischen Eigenschaften von gewerblichen Staubsaugern, zeigt die präzise Fokussierung auf die relevanten Technologien. Ein weiterer bedeutender Aspekt dieser Norm ist die Berücksichtigung von Sicherheitsanforderungen, die dem neuesten Stand der Technik entsprechen. Die Norm fordert, dass die Absauganlagen so gestaltet werden, dass sie den Risiken begegnen, die durch Holzstaub und andere relevante Materialien entstehen können. Diese Relevanz für die Branche ist unbestritten, da Staub und Späne in Holzverarbeitungsstätten erhebliche Gefahren darstellen können. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die EN 16770:2018 eine wesentliche Grundlage für die Sicherheit in der Holzbearbeitung bietet. Ihre klare Struktur, der präzise Anwendungsbereich und die Orientierung an der praktischen Anwendbarkeit machen sie zu einem unverzichtbaren Dokument für Hersteller und Betreiber von Holzverarbeitungsmaschinen und deren Absaugsystemen. Die Norm trägt somit entscheidend zur Verbesserung der Arbeitssicherheit und der Einhaltung regulatorischer Anforderungen in der Branche bei.

The EN 16770:2018 standard is a crucial document that establishes safety requirements for chip and dust extraction systems designed for indoor installation in woodworking environments. The scope of this standard covers significant hazards, hazardous situations, and events related to the operation of these extraction systems when used according to the manufacturer's intentions and under foreseeable conditions, including potential misuse scenarios. One of the primary strengths of the EN 16770:2018 standard is its comprehensive approach to identifying and addressing all pertinent safety risks associated with chip and dust extraction systems. By delineating the applicable scenarios, it provides manufacturers with clear guidelines to ensure that their systems operate safely within the specified parameters. Moreover, the standard meticulously excludes certain systems that do not fall within its scope, such as those with specific volume flow rates, vacuum cleaners, and systems designed for explosive atmospheres. This clarity helps industry stakeholders understand the limitations and applicability of the standard, ensuring they utilize it effectively. Further, the relevance of this standard cannot be overstated in the context of the woodworking industry, where dust and debris management is critical for both safety and equipment efficiency. By adhering to the EN 16770:2018 standards, manufacturers and operators can significantly reduce the risk of hazards associated with chip and dust accumulation and enhance the overall safety of their working environments. This adherence not only benefits workplace safety but also aligns with regulatory requirements, reinforcing the importance of compliance in industrial operations. Overall, the EN 16770:2018 standard serves as a vital resource for ensuring the safe operation of chip and dust extraction systems in woodworking, promoting best practices in safety management within the industry. Its clear delineation of scope, robust identification of hazards, and exclusion clauses contribute to its effectiveness and applicability, making it an indispensable guideline for manufacturers and users alike.

Le document SIST EN 16770:2018 aborde les exigences de sécurité des systèmes d'extraction de copeaux et de poussières pour une installation intérieure, spécifiquement conçus pour être raccordés aux machines de traitement du bois. Sa portée est clairement définie, englobant tous les dangers significatifs, les situations dangereuses et les événements mentionnés à la clause 4, ce qui en fait un texte de référence essentiel pour garantir la sécurité lors de l'utilisation de ces systèmes. Parmi les forces notables de la norme, on trouve le fait qu'elle prend en compte des conditions d'utilisation normales ainsi que les usages prévisibles des équipements, ce qui témoigne d'une approche pragmatique et sécuritaire. De plus, le caractère spécifique de la norme, qui exclut certains systèmes d'extraction tels que ceux ayant un débit volumique nominal supérieur à 8000 m3/h ou conçus pour des atmosphères explosives, permet de concentrer l'attention sur les dispositifs couramment utilisés dans le cadre de la menuiserie, limitant ainsi les risques associés à des applications inappropriées. La norme se révèle particulièrement pertinente dans un secteur où la sécurité des machines est primordiale, en garantissant non seulement la protection des opérateurs mais aussi la conformité aux réglementations en matière de santé et de sécurité au travail. En offrant des exigences précises et des recommandations basées sur des risques concrets, le document SIST EN 16770:2018 renforce la confiance dans les systèmes d'extraction, élément essentiel pour toute installation de traitement du bois respectant les normes de sécurité. En résumé, la norme SIST EN 16770:2018 se distingue par sa clarté, sa spécificité et sa capacité à adresser les préoccupations de sécurité des systèmes d'extraction de poussières, tout en rester un outil incontournable qui soutient les bonnes pratiques dans l'industrie du travail du bois.
