Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 12779:2004+A1:2009. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports the basic requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA which is an integral part of this document. The European Standards produced by CEN/TC 142 are particular to woodworking machines and compliment the relevant “A” and “B” standards on the subject of general safety (see Introduction of EN ISO 12100:2010 for a description of A, B and C standards). NOTE Extraction systems as a whole are not intended to be installed in areas, where the presence of potentially explosive atmosphere needs to be taken into account. In relation to the previous version of the standard, the following main modifications have been made: — The scope has been adjusted to meet the fields of application of the standard; — The requirements for safety related controls have been modified for clarification; — The requirements for electrical equipment and installations have been modified for clarification; — The requirements for fire and explosion protection have been modified for clarification; — The requirements for noise protection have been modified for clarification; — The requirements for protection against hazardous substances have been modified for clarification; — The requirements for silos have been modified for clarification; — A new annex for examples of extraction systems have been added for clarification; — A new annex for the classification of places where explosive atmosphere may occur have been added for clarification. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, SIST EN 12779:2016

EN 12779:2015 (E) 6 Introduction This standard has been prepared to be a harmonized standard to provide one means of conforming to the Essential Health and Safety Requirements of the Machinery Directive and associated EFTA Regulations. This document is a type “C” standard as defined in EN ISO 12100:2010. 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/employers (small, medium and large enterprises); —
machine users/employees (e. g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs); —
service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises); —
consumers (in 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 and events covered are indicated in the scope of this document. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those, which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of other standards, for machines that have been designed and built in accordance with the provisions of this type C standard. The requirements of this document are directed to manufacturers and their authorized representatives of chip and dust extraction systems. This document also includes information to be provided by the manufacturer to the user. SIST EN 12779:2016
