Overview

EN 12653:1999+A2:2009 (CEN) specifies safety requirements for nailing machines used in the footwear, leather and imitation‑leather industry. It covers three machine types: heel attaching machines, heel nailing machines, and gang nailing machines (with an exception for gang nailing machines that fully comply with EN 931). The standard addresses design and construction safety, taking into account intended use, foreseeable misuse and component/system failure. It does not cover transport, commissioning or decommissioning and does not apply retroactively to machines manufactured before its EN publication.

Key topics

• Scope & machine types: heel attaching, heel nailing, gang nailing (figures and zone definitions are provided).
• Hazard identification: mechanical (crushing, stabbing, shearing), loader movement impacts, electrical shock/burns, noise, thermal risks from thermocement chambers, hydraulic/pneumatic failures and ergonomic hazards.
• Guarding & mechanical protection: fixed enclosing guards and fencing in accordance with EN 953 and positioning distances informed by EN 294.
• Electrical safety: compliance with EN 60204‑1 and EN 60947‑5‑1; minimum protection rating IP54 required for electrical enclosures.
• Control systems & emergency devices: requirements for stop/release control devices (Annex A) and verification of safety-related control measures.
• Noise control: recommended low‑noise design methodology (EN ISO 11688‑1) and a specific noise test code for nailing machines (Annex C).
• Thermal protection: safeguards for thermocement melting chambers and hot surfaces; prevention of burns and harmful fumes.
• Risk assessment & verification: clauses on verifying safety requirements and providing information for use (instructions, markings, warnings).

Applications & users

EN 12653 is primarily used by:

• Footwear machine manufacturers - to design and certify safe nailing machines.
• Machine designers and safety engineers - to integrate guarding, control and ergonomic measures.
• Footwear production facilities and maintenance teams - for safe selection, operation and servicing of nailing equipment.
• Compliance officers and conformity assessors - to demonstrate conformity with EU machinery essential requirements (see Annex ZA/ZB and relationship to directives such as 98/37/EC and 2006/42/EC).
• Test laboratories and noise assessors - to apply the standard noise test code.

Practical uses include machine design validation, factory risk assessments, CE marking preparation, purchase specifications and operator safety procedures.

Related standards

• EN 931 (lasting machines) - cross‑reference for certain gang nailing machines

5 Safety requirements and/or measures #deleted text$ 5.1 General #Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause. In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100-2 for relevant but not significant hazards which are not dealt with by this document. For hazards which are to be reduced by the application of a type B-standard such as EN 294, EN 547, EN 982, EN 983, EN 60204-1 etc., the manufacturer shall carry out a risk assessment to establish the requirements of the
B-standards which are to be applied.$ 5.2 Common requirements for all nailing machines 5.2.1 Mechanical equipment 5.2.1.1 With the exception of the nailing area, dangerous motions of drives and moving machinery parts shall be safeguarded by fixed enclosing guards or fencing according to EN 953 #deleted text$. Fencing shall be positioned in accordance with the distances given in table 1, table 3 and table 4 of EN 294:1992. 5.2.1.2 #Fixed enclosing guards and fencing shall be designed in such a manner that a tool is required for fixing or removal, in accordance with 3.2, 3.9 and 3.10 of EN 953:1997.$.#deleted text$.

The power supply shall be within the limit specified in 4.3 and 4.4 of #EN 60204-1:2006$. 5.2.2.2 The operator controls and electrical controls which require adjustment for changing the working process shall be located on the outside of the switch cabinets. 5.2.3 Noise !The methodology for low-noise design given in EN ISO 11688-1 shall be followed. Possible noise reduction measures at the design stage are:" a) reduction of vibration through the static and dynamic balancing of rotating parts; b) reduction of vibration within the machine by reducing both the mass of moving parts and their acceleration; c) proper choice and design of the transmission components (gears, pulleys, belts, bearings); d) design of the machine structures taking into consideration vibration damping and avoidance of structural resonance; e) fitting pneumatic exhaust silencers, damping of hydraulic circuits. This list of technical measures for noise reduction at the source gives only examples and is not meant to be complete.
These measures are recommended but not compulsory. !NOTE
EN ISO 11688-2 gives useful information on noise generation mechanisms in machinery." !The criterion for assessing the efficiency of these measures is the actual noise emission values from the machines of the same family and not the nature of the reduction measures themselves." 5.2.4 Thermal protection Hot surfaces which do not need to be exposed for processing but which are accessible shall be safeguarded against accidental contact to prevent burn injury.
This can be met by covering the hot surfaces with insulating material or additional covers so that the temperature does not exceed the minimum temperatures of burn threshold indicated in
#EN ISO 13732-1$. Insulation materials shall not contain asbestos. 5.2.5 Contact or inhalation with harmful fume The associated risk is very low during the normal use but could increase during cleaning and maintenance. Because the fume will depend on the products used in thermocement chamber, it is not possible to give any SIST EN 12653:2000+A2:2009

5.2.6 Functional disorders 5.2.6.1 To prevent high pressure ejection of fluid or ejection of burst hydraulic or pneumatic components the system shall satisfy the requirements of #4.10 of EN ISO 12100-2:2003$, EN 982 and EN 983. 5.2.6.2 Devices in accordance with EN 1037 shall be fitted to prevent uncontrolled dangerous motions caused by irregularity, failure or unexpected re connection of the power supply or when the control circuit has been switched off. 5.2.6.3 Unless otherwise stated in 5.3, safety related parts of the machine control :  shall have at least the same safety level as the safeguarding used
and  # shall, however, as a minimum comply with performance level "c" as defined in EN ISO 13849-1 with components in accordance with Annex B$ The use of programmable electronic systems (PES) shall not reduce any level of safety laid down in this standard. When a machine is fitted with a programmable electronic system, safety related functions shall not rely solely up on it. This requirement is met by the use of:  additional hardwired control system or  other provisions for redundancy 5.2.7 Ergonomics #The design shall be in accordance with the requirements of EN 547-1, EN 547-2, EN 894-1, EN 1005-2 and EN 1005-3.$ 5.2.8 Control systems All the machines shall have a start control fitted at the working zone. The control system shall automatically assume a safe condition if any of the energy inputs are unavailable. The control system shall be designed so that in the event of a failure of one or more of the power sources there shall be no movement of the machine parts and the machine cannot start without the o
