EN 15164:2008

Machines and plants for mining and tooling of natural stone - Safety - Requirements for chain- and belt-slotting machines

This standard applies to chain- or belt-slotting machines to be used in open or underground quarries. Chain- or belt-slotting machines are used for cutting marble, granite and other stones loose or at the face. They can be stationary or can be moved on rails during work.
This standard deals with slotting machines with electric main motor and equipped with one main sawing head. This European Standard covers only machines for plain cutting (with one axis) and does not cover the difficul-ties arising from the geomorphology of the stone to be cut.
This standard does not deal with noise as a significant hazard.
This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to chain- and belt-slotting machines, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This European Standard deals with the hazards during transport, commissioning, use and maintenance.
This European Standard does not deal with:
   operation under extreme ambient conditions (outside the limits defined in EN 60204-1);
   operation in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
This document is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.

Maschinen und Anlagen zur Gewinnung und Bearbeitung von Naturstein - Sicherheit - Anforderungen für Ketten- und Gurt-Steinschrämmmaschinen

Diese Norm behandelt Ketten- oder Gurtsteinschrämmaschinen für die Über- oder Untertagegewinnung. Steinschrämmaschinen werden für das Schneiden von Marmor, Granit und anderen Gesteinen in loser Form oder fester Form im Berg genutzt. Sie können im Betrieb stationär genutzt werden oder auf Schienen bewegbar sein.
Ein elektrischer Hauptmotor bringt über eine Riemenscheibe das Werkzeug in Bewegung. Die Maschinen sind mit einem Hauptsägekopf ausgerüstet. Die Europäische Norm behandelt keine Mehrachsen-Maschinen und auch keine Risiken, die aus der Geologie des zu schneidenden Gesteins resultieren.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und Ereignisse, die auf Steinschrämmaschinen zutreffen, wenn sie bestimmungsgemäß verwendet werden, und die Voraussetzungen für einen Missbrauch durch den Hersteller offensichtlich gemacht wurden (siehe Abschnitt 4).
Diese Europäische. Norm spezifiziert geeignete technische Maßnahmen, die die Risiken verhindern oder vermindern, die von den signifikanten Gefährdungen ausgehen.
Diese Europäische Norm deckt auch elektrischen Gefährdungen durch Bezugnahme auf die entsprechenden Europäischen Normen ab.
Gefährdungen von mechanischen, elektrischen, hydraulischen, pneumatischen Anlagenteilen und von anderen maschinellem Ausrüstungen, die in allgemeinen gebräuchlichen Normen behandelt werden von dieser Europäischen Norm nicht erfasst.
Bezugnahme auf Normen, die für diese Art von Maschinen relevant sind, sind gemacht, wo solche Normen anwendbar und soweit nötig sind.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält keine Anforderungen für:
a)   Betrieb unter extremen Bedingungen (z. B. niedrige und sehr hohe Temperaturen, korrosive Umgebung usw.);
b)   Betrieb unter potentiell explosiver Atmosphäre;
c)   Betrieb unter elektrischer Energieversorgung mit Werten, wie Spannung, Frequenz, Toleranzen usw., die von denen des jeweiligen öffentlichen Stromnetzes abweichen;

Machines et installations d'extraction et d'usinage des pierres naturelles - Sécurité - Prescriptions relatives aux coupeuses à chaîne et à sangle

La présente norme s'applique aux coupeuses à chaîne et à sangle, destinées à être utilisées dans des carrières à ciel ouvert ou souterraines. Les coupeuses à chaîne et à sangle sont utilisées pour découper le marbre, le granite et d'autres pierres libres ou à la surface. Ces machines peuvent être fixes ou peuvent se déplacer sur des rails lors de l'exploitation.
La présente norme traite des coupeuses avec moteur électrique principal et équipées d'une tête de sciage principale. La présente Norme européenne couvre seulement les machines pour la découpe à plat (sur un axe) et ne couvre pas les difficultés provenant de la géomorphologie de la pierre à découper.
La présente norme ne couvre pas le phénomène dangereux significatif du bruit.
La présente norme traite tous les phénomènes, situations et événements dangereux significatifs relatifs aux coupeuses à chaîne et à sangle, lorsqu'elles sont utilisées dans des conditions normales et dans des conditions de mauvaise utilisation raisonnablement prévisibles par le constructeur (voir Article 4). La présente Norme européenne traite des phénomènes dangereux pendant le transport, la mise en service, l’utilisation et la maintenance.
La présente Norme européenne ne traite pas :
-   de l'exploitation dans des conditions ambiantes extrêmes (au-delà des limites définies dans l’EN 60204 1) ;
-   de l'exploitation dans des atmosphères potentiellement explosibles.
Le présent document n'est pas applicable aux machines fabriquées avant sa date de publication comme EN.
