Overview

EN 415-1:2014 - Safety of packaging machines, Part 1: Terminology and classification of packaging machines and associated equipment - is a European standard published by SIST (adopting EN 415-1:2014). It defines a unified nomenclature and classification for packaging machinery used across industries. The standard names and categorizes machine groups (for example: filling, closing, labelling, cleaning, form‑fill‑seal, wrapping, palletizing and strapping machines) and indicates where the relevant machine‑specific safety requirements can be found in the EN 415 series or other applicable standards.

Key Topics

  • Scope and classification: Clear grouping of packaging machines (filling, closing, labelling/decorating/coding, cleaning/sterilising/cooling/drying, fill & seal, inspection, container handling, form‑fill‑seal, carton erecting/closing, wrapping, secondary packaging, palletizers/depalletizers, pallet wrapping, strapping).
  • Terminology and definitions: Standardized terms and definitions for machine types, dosing methods (volumetric, gravimetric, level, timed flow, count), closing methods (heat sealing, welding, capping, crimping) and other key concepts.
  • Normative references: Directs users to machine‑specific parts of EN 415 (Parts 2–8, 10) and related standards (e.g., EN ISO 12100 for risk assessment).
  • Annexes of practical value: Annex A maps machine types to the correct safety standard; Annex ZA explains the relationship to EU Directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive); additional annexes cover multilingual names and new definitions.
  • Harmonization purpose: Provides consistent vocabulary to reduce ambiguity in documentation, accident reporting, conformity assessment and machine selection.

Applications and Who Uses It

  • Manufacturers & designers: Use the classification to identify which EN 415 part or other standard contains the applicable safety requirements during design and CE marking.
  • Safety managers & risk assessors: Use standardized terminology in hazard analysis and to apply EN ISO 12100 recommendations consistently across packaging lines.
  • Suppliers, importers & integrators: Ensure correct technical documentation, labeling and conformity with EU Machinery Directive requirements.
  • Inspectors & enforcement bodies: Improve clarity in reporting and regulatory enforcement by referencing uniform machine definitions.
  • Consultants & technical writers: Use the standard to produce accurate specifications, operator manuals and training materials.

Related Standards (if applicable)

  • EN 415 series (Part 2–8, Part 10 - machine‑specific safety requirements)
  • EN ISO 12100 - Safety of machinery: risk assessment and risk reduction
  • EN 619, EN 422 and other referenced machine and safety standards
  • Annex ZA links EN 415-1:2014 to EU Directive 2006/42/EC
