Overview

EN 13128:2001/prA2 is a European standard focused on the safety of machine tools, specifically covering milling machines including boring machines. Developed by the CEN Technical Committee CEN/TC 143 "Machine Tools - Safety," this standard aims to ensure that milling machines meet strict safety requirements to protect operators and comply with EU machinery directives. The latest amendment (prA2:2008) updates essential clauses related to user instructions, noise emissions, and marking requirements.

This standard supports the European Commission and European Free Trade Association directives on machinery safety, providing manufacturers and users with clear guidelines to reduce operational risks. Compliance with EN 13128:2001/prA2 grants a presumption of conformity with the Essential Requirements of machinery directives, facilitating legal market access throughout Europe.

Key Topics

• Instruction Handbook Updates
  The standard mandates updated instruction handbooks that include detailed information on residual risks, such as situations where noise levels may exceed 80 dB(A) or hazards posed by sharp or hot machine components. This ensures operators are fully informed about potential dangers during machine use.

• Noise Emission Declaration
  Manufacturers are required to provide transparent and accurate noise emission data both in technical documentation and in sales literature. This promotes safer working environments by enabling buyers to assess noise-related risks in milling and boring machines.

• Marking Requirements
  The standard specifies that machine tools must be marked with critical information, including:

  • Manufacturer’s name and address
  • Authorized representative details (if applicable)
  • Machine designation and series/type identification
    These markings enhance traceability and assist with proper machine identification for safety and maintenance purposes.

• Alignment with EU Directives
  EN 13128:2001/prA2 aligns with EU directives 98/37/EC (amended by 98/79/EC) and 2006/42/EC on machinery safety. Annexes ZA and ZB detail how the standard supports conformance with these directives, ensuring that manufacturers adhering to this standard meet essential legal safety obligations.

Applications

EN 13128:2001/prA2 is crucial for manufacturers, safety inspectors, and end-users involved with:

• Construction and operation of milling machines
• Design and manufacturing of boring machines
• Risk assessment and safety compliance auditing in machine tool facilities
• Documentation preparation for machinery sales within European markets
• Noise control and workplace safety management in industrial environments

By following this standard, companies ensure safer machine tool operation, reduce accident risks, and comply with mandatory EU safety directives.

• EN ISO 12100 - General principles for machinery safety and risk assessment
• EN ISO 11688 - Noise test code for machine tools
• EU Directive 2006/42/EC - Machinery Directive covering health and safety requirements

These related standards complement EN 13128 by providing broader frameworks for machinery safety, noise testing, and regulatory compliance essential for manufacturers and operators of industrial machine tools.
