Overview
EN 13035-9:2006+A1:2010 (CEN) specifies safety requirements for stationary flat glass washing installations - including scrubbing, washing and drying units - used in the manufacture, treatment and processing of flat glass. It is a Type C standard (machine-specific) that addresses significant hazards during commissioning, operation and maintenance for installations of the type illustrated in Annex A. The standard excludes loading/unloading machines (see EN 13035-5), conveyors (EN 619), fans, automotive/bent glass washing, water treatment/disposal systems and machinery built before its publication.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and risk assessment: Covers hazards, hazardous situations and reasonably foreseeable misuse; requires manufacturers to perform an adequate risk assessment and apply EN ISO 12100 principles where hazards are not explicitly covered.
- Machine structure and components: Defines typical parts - inlet/outlet sites, scrubbing unit, washing unit, drying unit - and describes their functions (feeding, cleaning, transport and delivery).
- Mechanical safeguards: Requires fixed guards and, where access is necessary, movable interlocking guards (EN 953). Interlocks and control-system elements must meet at least Performance Level c per EN ISO 13849-1.
- Protection against specific hazards: Addresses crushing, drawing-in, shearing, cutting, entanglement, falling objects and unexpected start-up. Prescribed measures include guarding, roller protection, safe access and procedures for maintenance.
- Electrical and control safety: References electrical equipment requirements (EN 60204-1) and emergency stop principles (EN ISO 13850).
- Noise and ergonomic considerations: Identifies fan/blower noise risks and refers to acoustic measurement/declared emission standards; includes ergonomic and PPE guidance for handling sharp glass and avoiding unsafe human behavior.
- Verification and information for use: Specifies verification tests (see Clause 6) and required user documentation, including machine arrangement, safe work systems and training instructions.
Practical applications and users
This standard is intended for:
- Machine manufacturers and designers of flat glass washing installations ensuring CE conformity
- Plant integrators installing washing units within glass production lines
- Safety engineers and compliance officers performing risk assessments and validation
- Maintenance teams and operators who need documented safe procedures and guarding information Practical benefits include reduced injury risk, clearer requirements for guarding/interlocks, improved machine acceptance testing and alignment with EU Machinery Directive requirements.

perpendicular to the surface of the sheet.
NOTE The brushes, integral with the beam, move along vertically with respect to the thickness of the glass sheet. Special clamping rollers lead and hold the glass sheet when being scrubbed (see Annex A, Figures A.1 and A.2) 3.1.2.2 washing unit machines that wash and rinse glass.
NOTE 1 These machines are basically composed of rotating brushes with an axis located transversely to the feeding direction of the glass sheet. These brushes can be positioned either on the upper or lower surface of the glass or on both sides. The brush is made of a shaft, preferably of metal, provided with plastic bristles, the location of which varies from one machine to another. The washing operation is performed by the rotating brush. In addition, tubes are also provided with nozzles which spray water with detergents or (pure) water for rinsing on to the glass sheet. NOTE 2 The height of the brushes is adjustable according to the thickness of the glass. Rollers clamping the glass sheets while being washed are located both downstream and upstream from the brushes (see
Annex A, Figures A.3 and A.4) 3.1.3 drying unit machines consisting of one or several pairs of blowers providing air flows which remove water from the
surface of the glass sheet.
