Cash desk - Safety

This document specifies the security requirements for the design of checkout furniture in self-service stores, regardless of the size of the store. Safety requirements apply to both the operator and the public.
This document applies to all types of checkout furniture equipped with electrically powered conveyor(s). It does not deal with computer equipment related to cash register furniture.
This document covers all significant hazardous phenomena, situations or events, with the exception of..., which are relevant to cash registers when used normally and when they are subject to reasonably
foreseeable misuse by the manufacturer.
(Risks covered: mechanical, electrical (excluding IT, including controls), electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), ergonomics (refer to standard NF X 35-701 which must evolve into a European standard), hygiene (food contact, REACH, materials, cleaning products), recyclability, fire, noise).

Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/cashier (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/cashier (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in the case of machinery intended for use by consumers)
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other
standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C
standard.
