Overview

EN 1672-1:2014 - published by CEN - defines the basic safety concepts and safety requirements for food processing machinery used in commercial and industrial environments. The standard addresses the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events that can arise when machines are used as intended or under reasonably foreseeable misuse, including risks that occur during transport, assembly, commissioning, operation, cleaning, maintenance and fault finding. It sets common technical requirements that can be applied across a wide range of food-processing machines, but excludes domestic machines, packaging machines, agricultural/animal‑rearing machinery, machine-specific standards listed in Annex C, and hygiene risks to consumers (handled in EN 1672-2:2005+A1:2009).

Key Topics

EN 1672-1:2014 covers a broad set of machine-safety topics relevant to food processing machinery:

• Hazard identification: lists significant hazards (mechanical, electrical, thermal, noise, vibration, radiation, materials/substances, ergonomics).
• Mechanical safeguards: protection of moving parts, feed hoppers, cutting devices and conveyors; prevention of stored‑energy and high‑pressure fluid hazards.
• Electrical safety: requirements for electrical equipment and managing electrostatic phenomena.
• Ergonomics and human factors: design to reduce human error, safe control layout and access for cleaning/maintenance.
• Controls and isolation: stop functions, emergency stop principles, means of isolating energy supplies.
• Verification and testing: visual inspections, functional tests, measurements, and design verification methods.
• Information for use: marking, accompanying documents, signals and warnings.
• Supporting methods: Annex A on noise measurement, Annex B on alternative safeguarding methods, Annex C on relationship to machine‑specific standards.

Applications

Who uses EN 1672-1:2014 and how:

• Machine manufacturers / OEMs - integrate common safety requirements into machine design and manufacture.
• Safety engineers and designers - perform risk assessments and select appropriate guards, controls and ergonomic solutions.
• Maintenance and operations teams - follow verification, testing and information-for-use guidance to keep equipment safe in service.
• Compliance and procurement - evaluate suppliers and technical documentation for safety compliance.
• Test laboratories and notified bodies - use verification methods (visual, functional, measurement) to assess conformity.

Practical use cases include designing hygienic yet safe guards for cutting devices, specifying stop/isolation systems for conveyors, and defining maintenance procedures that minimize exposure to mechanical and electrical hazards.

Related Standards

• EN 1672-2:2005+A1:2009 - addresses hygiene risks to consumers (complements EN 1672-1).
• Annex C of EN 1672-1 lists machine-specific food processing standards for more detailed, application-specific requirements.
• Refer to Annex A (noise measurement) and Annex B (alternative safeguarding) for technical measurement and protection options.

Keywords: EN 1672-1:2014, food processing machinery, safety requirements, machine safety, CEN, hygienic design, hazard identification, guards, electrical hazards, noise measurement.

Figure 1 — Cleaning under food processing machinery 4.2.1.6 Spillage trays Food processing machines may be fitted with trays to collect spillages of food from the machine. It is good hygienic design practice for spillage trays to be easily removable so that product can be emptied frequently; however, when the trays are removed, the operator may be exposed to danger zones on the machine. 4.2.2 Hazards caused by high pressure fluids Some food processing machines incorporate pneumatic or hydraulic systems. Pneumatic and hydraulic equipment presents crushing, shearing, ejection of parts, explosion and injection of fluids hazards. Stored energy in pneumatic or hydraulic systems may cause mechanisms to move unexpectedly even when power supplies are disconnected. In addition, hydraulic oil and pneumatic lubricating oil present a potential fire hazard and can contaminate the food. Some food processing machines use high-pressure water to cut or dislodge food products. These high-pressure jets can cause cutting injuries. SIST EN 1672-1:2014
