Overview
EN 12629-5-2:2003+A1:2010 is a CEN Type C safety standard for pipe making machines manufacturing in the horizontal axis. Intended to be used together with EN 12629-1:2000+A1:2010 (Common requirements), it defines additional safety requirements and deviations specific to horizontal-axis concrete and calcium‑silicate pipe production equipment - in particular spinning machines and related machine elements. The standard addresses significant hazards when machines are used as intended or under reasonably foreseeable misuse and includes Amendment 1 (2010).
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and relationship: Supplements EN 12629-1; applies to machines forming an integral part of pipe-making process plants. Not applicable to units manufactured before its publication.
- Risk approach: Aligned with EN ISO 12100 (basic concepts and design principles) and EN 1050 (principles for risk assessment). Manufacturers must perform risk assessments and apply technical measures to eliminate or reduce hazards.
- Hazard identification: Lists significant hazards for horizontal spinning machines:
- Crushing, shearing, entanglement, drawing-in/trapping
- Friction/abrasion, noise, material contact (concrete exposure), ejection of parts
- Slip, trip and fall (wet floors around machines)
- Machine-specific measures: Defines guarding and protective measures by hazard zone (Annex B), covering mobile feeders, compacting rollers, vibrating rollers, moulds, hoppers and transmissions.
- Verification and documentation: Verification follows EN 12629-1. Requires information for use, marking, and safety instructions; includes a practical recommendation for floor drainage to manage water and reduce slip risks.
- Informative annexes: Annex A (definitions/illustrations), Annex B (hazard zones), Annex ZA (relationship to EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC).
Practical applications - who uses it
- Machine manufacturers and OEMs designing or supplying horizontal-axis pipe spinning machines.
- Plant designers and integrators specifying equipment for precast concrete pipe production lines.
- Safety managers and compliance officers ensuring machinery meets European safety requirements and supports conformity with the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC).
- Test and inspection bodies performing verification against normative clauses and hazard-zone protections.
