La norme EN 15061:2007 définit les exigences de santé et de sécurité pour les lignes de traitement de bandes métalliques, offrant ainsi un cadre essentiel pour la sécurité des machines dans ce secteur. Son champ d'application est particulièrement pertinent, car il aborde toutes les situations et événements dangereux significatifs liés à l'utilisation de machines et équipements de lignes de traitement de bandes, tant dans les conditions prévues par le fabricant que dans le cadre d'une utilisation incorrecte anticipée. L'un des points forts de cette norme est sa capacité à couvrir une large gamme d'équipements utilisés dans le traitement des bandes métalliques. En précisant les exigences de sécurité pertinentes lors de la conception, de l'assemblage, du transport, de la mise en service, de l'exploitation, de l'entretien et du déclassement des équipements, la norme garantit une approche complète de la sécurité des personnes impliquées dans ces processus. La norme EN 15061:2007 s'applique aux lignes de traitement de bandes, y compris les équipements terminaux pour diverses opérations telles que le pickling, le prétraitement, le galvanisage, et d'autres traitements spécialisés comme l'électrodéposition et le revêtement organique. Cela renforce sa pertinence, car elle inclut des aspects essentiels de la transformation de métaux qui doivent respecter des normes de sécurité strictes. En se concentrant sur la sécurité des machines, cette norme joue un rôle crucial dans la prévention des accidents sur le lieu de travail. Elle permet non seulement de protéger les travailleurs contre des situations dangereuses, mais aussi de promouvoir des pratiques de fonctionnement sécurisées dans l'industrie, ce qui est d'une importance capitale dans le contexte actuel des normes de sécurité et de santé. Cependant, il est à noter que la norme n'inclut pas certains équipements tels que les fours, les séchoirs et les systèmes de transport de bobines après le premier point de prise de l'entrée ou avant le point de prise de la section de sortie, ce qui peut être considéré comme une limitation. Malgré cela, la norme reste une ressource inestimable pour garantir la conformité de la machinerie aux exigences de sécurité. En conclusion, la norme EN 15061:2007 pour la sécurité des machines dans les lignes de traitement de bandes métalliques est une référence incontournable, offrant des directives claires et complètes qui assurent la sécurité des personnes en interaction avec ces machines et contribuent à des opérations industrielles sûres et efficaces.
EN 15061:2007 표준은 기계 안전 및 안전 요구사항을 규정한 유럽 표준으로, 스트립 가공 라인에 특화된 기계 및 장비의 건강 및 안전 요구 사항을 정의합니다. 이 표준은 스트립 가공 라인에서 발생할 수 있는 모든 중요한 위험과 위험 상황을 다루며, 제조자가 의도한 대로 사용될 때와 예측 가능한 오작동이 발생할 경우까지 포함하고 있습니다. 이 표준의 강점 중 하나는 설계, 조립, 운송, 설치, 운영, 유지보수 및 폐기 과정에서 사람의 안전을 보장하기 위해 고려해야 할 요구 사항을 명확하게 제시한다는 점입니다. 이는 사용자 안전성을 높이는 데 매우 중요합니다. 특히, 금속 스트립 처리에 필요한 전체적인 과정과 장비를 포함하여, 다양한 접점에서 발생할 수 있는 위험이 체계적으로 관리될 수 있도록 합니다. EN 15061:2007은 금속 스트립의 가공을 위한 장비에 관련된 구체적인 요구 사항을 명시하고 있어, 사용자가 직면할 수 있는 실제 위험들을 사전에 예방할 수 있는 장점을 제공합니다. 스트립 가공 라인의 입구 섹션에서부터 출구 섹션에 이르기까지 모든 단계를 포괄적으로 다루며, 화학 후 처리, 열처리 등의 다양한 처리 방식도 포함하여 다각적인 위험 요소를 관리합니다. 더불어, 이 표준은 EN 746-1, EN 746-2 및 EN 746-3에서 규정된 용광로와 같은 특정 장비를 제외하는 것에 따른 명확한 경계를 설정하고 있습니다. 이는 사용자가 해당 장비의 적용 가능성과 안전 요구 사항을 명확히 이해할 수 있도록 도와줍니다. 결론적으로, EN 15061:2007 표준은 기계 안전성과 관련된 중요한 요구 사항을 체계적으로 정리해 놓아 스트립 가공 라인에서의 안전성을 한층 더 높일 수 있는 필수적인 문서로 자리잡고 있습니다.
EN 15061:2007は、ストリップ加工ラインの機械および設備に関する安全要求事項を明確に定義した欧州標準であり、その範囲は非常に広いです。この標準は、ストリップ加工ラインの使用に関連するすべての重要な危険、有害な状況、イベントを網羅しており、製造者が想定した条件で意図通りに使用される場合の安全性を確保します。また、使用上の誤りに対する予見可能な故障や不具合についても取り扱っています。 この標準の主な強みは、設計、組立、輸送、運用、保守、廃棄に至るまで、機器の安全性を確保するための要件を明確に規定している点です。特に、金属ストリップを処理するためのストリップ加工ラインのエントリーセクションから出口セクションまでのプロセスを包括しています。具体的には、酸洗いや前処理、加熱浸漬、電気めっき、張力平準化、スケール破壊、有機コーティング、化学後処理など、さまざまな終端装置に対応しています。 さらに、EN 15061:2007は、熔炉や乾燥機、コイル輸送システムなど、適用外となる設備についても明記しています。この明確さが、ユーザーがどの要件に従うべきかを理解する上での助けとなり、機器の安全性を高めるための重要なガイドラインとして機能しています。 この標準の関連性は、高いレベルの安全性を求める産業において特に重要です。ストリップ加工ラインを使用する企業は、この安全要求事項を遵守することで、従業員や作業環境の安全を守ることができます。したがって、EN 15061:2007は、ストリップ加工ラインの運用における不可欠な資源であると言えるでしょう。
The standard EN 15061:2007 titled "Safety of machinery - Safety requirements for strip processing line machinery and equipment" provides critical guidelines that ensure the health and safety of personnel interacting with strip processing lines. With its comprehensive scope, this European Standard meticulously outlines safety requirements for various stages of a strip processing line, which includes machinery used for treating metal strips from the entry point to the exit section. One of the key strengths of this standard is its systematic approach to identifying and addressing significant hazards associated with strip processing line machinery. By considering all potentially hazardous situations and events during the design, assembly, operation, and maintenance of equipment, the standard seeks to preemptively mitigate risks. This proactive stance enhances the overall safety of the equipment and promotes a safer working environment. The EN 15061:2007 standard is particularly relevant for manufacturers and operators of strip processing lines, as it provides clear requirements that must be followed to maintain compliance and ensure safety. The inclusion of considerations for foreseeable faults and malfunctions reinforces its practical applicability under various scenarios, including potential misuse of the machinery. This feature makes the standard a vital reference for risk assessments and safety evaluations in industrial settings. Moreover, the standard delineates its applicability to substantial processing equipment including pickling, pre-treatment, hot dipping, electroplating, tension leveling, and chemical post-treating. By specifying the terminal equipment across different sections of the processing line, the standard fosters consistency in safety practices throughout the manufacturing process. However, it is essential to note the boundaries of this standard, as it does not cover furnaces or drying ovens which are regulated under specific existing standards (EN 746 series and EN 1539). This delineation helps avoid overlap and confusion regarding compliance and safety measures required for different types of machinery. In conclusion, EN 15061:2007 stands out as a fundamental document for enhancing safety in the equipment used within strip processing lines. Its thorough examination of health and safety requirements, along with its comprehensive scope, ensures that operators are well-equipped to address potential hazards, ultimately driving improvements in safety standards across the industry.
Die Norm EN 15061:2007 definiert die Sicherheitsanforderungen für Maschinen und Ausrüstungen von Walzbetrieben. Durch ihre umfassende Betrachtung deckt sie alle signifikanten Gefahren und risikobehafteten Situationen ab, die im Zusammenhang mit der Nutzung von Walzlinien entstehen können. Ein zentrales Merkmal dieser Norm ist die präzise Definition des Anwendungsbereichs, der sich auf die gesamte Prozesskette von der Übernahme am Eingangsbereich bis zur Übergabe am Ausgangsbereich erstreckt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die detaillierte Behandlung von Gefahren für Personen, die während des gesamten Lebenszyklus der Maschinen berücksichtigt werden müssen: von der Planung über die Montage bis hin zu Betrieb, Wartung und Außerbetriebnahme. Dies stellt sicher, dass die Sicherheit von Mitarbeitern an oberster Stelle steht und somit ein verantwortungsvoller und sicherer Umgang mit der Technologie gefördert wird. Die Norm ist sowohl für die Verarbeitung von Metallstreifen als auch für die relevante Terminalausrüstung wie Beiz-, Vorbehandlungs- und Warmtauchanlagen anwendbar. Ihre Relevanz zeigt sich in der Berücksichtigung von voraussehbaren Fehlfunktionen oder Missbrauchsszenarien, was die Flexibilität und Anwendbarkeit in realistischen Betriebsumgebungen anhebt. Ein weiterer klarer Vorteil der EN 15061:2007 ist die Anforderung, dass Sicherheitsvorkehrungen während der Auslegung und des Betriebs stets berücksichtigt werden müssen. Dadurch wird nicht nur der Schutz der Bediener verbessert, sondern auch die Langlebigkeit und Effizienz der Maschinen gefördert. Wichtig ist auch, dass die Norm bestimmte Ausnahmen klar definiert – wie beispielsweise für Öfen, die unter anderen Normen wie EN 746-1 geregelt sind. Dies ermöglicht eine klarere Struktur und hilft Anwendern, sich in den jeweiligen technischen Anforderungen besser zurechtzufinden. Insgesamt zeigt die EN 15061:2007 durch ihre umfassende und detaillierte Herangehensweise, wie wichtig Sicherheit im Bereich der Maschinenbaukunst ist. Die Norm leistet einen entscheidenden Beitrag zur Gewährleistung einer sicheren und leistungsfähigen Arbeitsumgebung innerhalb der Industrie der Walzbetriebe.
