This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Clause 4 which are relevant to horizontal beam panel sawing machines where the saw unit is mounted below the workpiece support and which are manually or mechanically loaded and/or unloaded, fitted with: a side pressure device and/or the facility for scoring and/or the facility for post-formed/soft-formed edge pre-cutting and/or a panel turning device and/or a pushing out device and/or pneumatic clamping of the saw blade and/or a powered panel loading device and/or a grooving device and/or additional cutting line(s) inside the machine for longitudinal and / or head cut (before transversal cutting line) and/or workpiece vacuum clamping as part of a panel turning device or of a panel loading device, hereinafter referred to as "machines" when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer. The machines are designed for cutting panels consisting of: wood based materials such as chipboard, fibreboard, plywood and also these materials where they are covered with plastic/light alloy laminates which can be cut easily; solid wood; hardened rubber and hardened plastic material; non ferrous materials e.g. light alloy; gypsum boards, gypsum bounded fibreboards; composite boards made from the materials listed above. This document does not deal with specific hazards related to: specific features which differ from the list above; the machining of panels with grooving tools; mechanical unloading of panels; the combination of a single machine being used with any other machine (as part of a line). This document is not applicable to horizontal beam panel sawing machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.

Overview

EN 1870-13:2007+A1:2009/FprA2 is a European Standard developed by CEN focusing on the safety of woodworking machines, specifically circular sawing machines of the type horizontal beam panel sawing machines. This standard addresses all significant hazards and hazardous situations associated with these machines when used as intended or under reasonably foreseeable misuse, ensuring safe operation during manual or mechanical panel loading and unloading.

The document covers machines designed to cut a variety of materials such as wood-based panels (chipboard, fibreboard, plywood), solid wood, plastics, non-ferrous light alloys, gypsum boards, and composite boards. It explicitly excludes hazards related to unique machine features outside those listed, grooving tool machining, certain mechanical unloading processes, and combined machine lines.

This standard supports compliance with the European Machinery Directive and integrates the latest harmonized safety practices for woodworking machining equipment.

Key Topics

  • Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
    The standard identifies significant hazards including mechanical risks such as crushing, shearing, cutting, entanglement, drawing-in, and impact hazards. It also considers risks linked to high-pressure fluids and energy accumulation within machinery systems.

  • Machine Design and Safety Requirements
    Requirements cover design aspects such as safeguarding of the saw blade (inside and outside cutting zones), pressure beam controls, cutting sequences, speed adjustments, emergency stops, and electrical and pneumatic components.

  • Safety-Related Control Systems
    EN 1870-13 emphasizes the use of well-tried mechanical and electronic components, specifying performance levels (PL) for safety control systems to reduce operational risks effectively.

  • Operational and Maintenance Guidelines
    The standard specifies conditions for normal and emergency stopping, pressure beam control, safeguards for feeding, unloading devices, and measures to manage dust and chip emissions ensuring workplace safety.

  • Compliance with EU Regulations
    Includes harmonization with key directives (Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC) and aligns with internationally recognized standards for safety of machinery such as EN ISO 12100:2010.

Applications

  • Woodworking Industry
    Applicable to manufacturers and users of horizontal beam panel sawing machinery in industries involved with furniture manufacturing, construction materials, and panel processing operations.

  • Machine Manufacturers
    Provides comprehensive safety requirements to integrate into the design and production of circular sawing machines ensuring regulatory compliance and enhanced user safety.

  • Safety Inspectors and Compliance Auditors
    Serves as a reference to verify hazard controls, machine guarding, emergency systems, and ergonomic aspects of horizontal beam panel sawing machines during safety inspections.

  • Training and Operation Manuals
    Supports development of clear instruction handbooks and on-site safety training programs for operators and maintenance personnel to minimize risks during machine use.

Related Standards

  • EN ISO 12100:2010 – Safety of machinery: General principles for risk assessment and risk reduction
