Foreword
This document (EN 1247:2004/FprA1:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 202
“Foundry machinery”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure.
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 Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are integral parts of this
document.
The new safety requirements as stated in this document comply with the additional relevant Essential
Requirements of the new Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC complementing the existing Machinery Directive
98/37/EC.
Once this document is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under the new Machinery
Directive 2006/42/EC and has been implemented as a national standard in at least one member state, it
confers a presumption of conformity with the new relevant Essential Requirements of that new Directive and
associated EFTA regulations.
1 Modification to the Foreword
th
Replace the 4 paragraph "For relationship with EU Directive(s), see …" with the following:
"For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are integral parts of this
document."
2 Modification to the Introduction
Replace the existing text with the following:
"This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered
are indicated in the scope of this European Standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B
standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other
standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C
standard.
Where for clarity an example of a preventative measure is given in the text, this should not be considered
as the only possible solution. Other solutions can be used as far as they fulfil correctly the criteria
expressed in the requirement.
This European Standard assumes, that the equipment is operated and maintained by trained personnel."

3 Modification to the Scope
Add at the end of the Scope the following:
"This document is not applicable to ladles, pouring equipment, centrifugal casting machines and
continuous and semi-continuous casting machines which are manufactured before the date of its
publication as EN."
