Overview
EN 746-8:2000 is a CEN standard in the EN 746 series that specifies the particular safety requirements for quenching equipment used in industrial thermoprocessing. It defines the specific hazards and the safety measures that must be provided by the manufacturer for quenching equipment, whether the equipment is an independent unit or integrated into a larger plant. The standard explicitly excludes salt-bath quenching equipment (see prEN 746-5:1999) and does not cover handling, storage, transport, disposal, transfer or regeneration of quenching media and processed material outside the physical limits of the equipment.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope of applicability: Safety requirements apply to quenching equipment used in heat-treatment and industrial thermoprocessing installations, both stand-alone and integrated.
- Manufacturer responsibility: Obligations for the manufacturer to identify specific hazards and provide appropriate safety provisions for the equipment.
- Exclusions: Salt bath quenching is handled separately (prEN 746-5:1999). Activities outside the equipment boundaries (storage, transport, disposal, regeneration, etc.) are not covered.
- Hazard focus: The document centers on particular hazards intrinsic to quenching operations and the safety measures that should be implemented by equipment suppliers and integrators.
- Harmonization: Part of the EN 746 family, intended to be used alongside general and related parts of the EN 746 series for industrial thermoprocessing equipment.
Applications
EN 746-8 is practical for:
- Manufacturers of quenching equipment preparing design and safety documentation.
- Plant designers and integrators who specify or install quenching units within heat-treatment lines.
- Safety engineers and risk assessors conducting machinery safety assessments and conformity checks.
- Procurement and compliance teams creating technical specifications and verifying adherence to European safety norms.
- Inspection and certification bodies assessing whether quenching equipment meets the required safety provisions.
Common uses include preparing safety files, informing equipment specifications during purchase, supporting risk assessments for quenching operations, and ensuring compliance with European thermoprocessing safety expectations.

記事のタイトル: EN 746-8:2000 - 産業用熱処理装置 - 第8部: 淬火装置に関する特定の安全要件 記事の内容: このEN 746の一部では、独立したユニットまたはプラントの一部として使用される淬火装置について、製造業者が提供する特定の危険と安全要件を定めています。ただし、このEN746の一部では、淬火手段として使用される塩浴槽装置の特定の危険と安全要件については含まれていません（prEN746-5:1999を参照）。また、この規格は、装置の範囲外での淬火媒体や加工物質の取り扱い、貯蔵、輸送、廃棄、転送、再生については取り扱っていません。
EN 746-8:2000 is a safety standard that outlines the specific hazards and safety requirements for quenching equipment in industrial thermoprocessing. It applies to both independent units and integrated parts of a plant. However, it does not cover the hazards and safety requirements for quenching equipment that uses salt baths, as these are addressed in a separate standard. Additionally, the standard does not address the handling, storage, transport, disposal, transfer, or regeneration of the quenching media and processed material outside the equipment's limits.
