3.24
control mode(s)
single machines or groups of interlinked machines of cold flat rolling mills can be operated by different
control modes:
Note 1 to entry: This document distinguishes between control mode(s) and operating mode(s) because there is
neither a common understanding nor a definition in EN ISO 12100 and EN 60204-1. The operating modes (see 3.25)
corresponds to the “control mode” of EN ISO 12100:2010, 6.2.11.9.
3.24.1
manual control mode(s)
3.24.1.1
hold-to-run control
every function is controlled by an operator by means of a button or equivalent device according
EN ISO 12100:2010, 3.28.3
Note 1 to entry: Release of the button/device stops the function (e.g. movement) immediately.
3.24.1.2
single function
functions are started and/or stopped by an operator
3.24.2
semi-automatic control
sequence of functions released once by an operator
Note 1 to entry: The released sequence is automatically stopped at its end. For the initiation of another sequence,
a new command by the operator is required.
3.24.3
automatic control
cycles of successive or parallel sequences once initiated by the operator
Note 1 to entry: If there is no operator intervention, the repetition of the sequences takes place as long as the
running conditions are met.
3.25
operating mode(s)
state of the control system allowing to operate the cold flat rolling mill under defined conditions
Note 1 to entry: Such modes are, e.g. production, safe stop, enabling, adjustment, inspection.
Note 2 to entry: The safety level of the operating mode(s) is defined as result of the risk assessment.
3.25.1
special modes
3.22.1.1
enabling mode
operation of machine functions by using an enabling device (as per 3.22)
3.22.1.2
inching (jog) mode
operation of machine functions using a hold-to-run control device (as per 3.23)
3.25.2
safe stop mode
movement of the involved equipment is prevented through the control system
Note 1 to entry: The required safety level of the safe stop is defined as result of the risk assessment.
Note 2 to entry: Safe stop is not sufficient as a safety measure to perform reconditioning or repair work because
isolation of the equipment from the relevant energy sources is not realized.
Note 3 to entry: Residual risks, e.g. by stored energy must have been secured by other means.
Note 4 to entry: Safe stop mode may also include switching off additional devices, e.g. X-ray.
3.25.3
normal production mode
machine is ready to produce or producing as intended
Note 1 to entry: Production, material handling and activities supporting these processes are covered.
Note 2 to entry: Maintenance according 3.10 is not covered.
3.26
reduced speed
speed, reduced to minimize the hazardous potential without safety monitoring of speed
Note 1 to entry: In case of failure, an increase in speed can occur.
Note 2 to entry: Applies to linear or rotational speed.
Note 3 to entry: Speed reduced without an enabling device means that the movement is so slow that the operator
can move away from this dangerous movement in time. Based on a risk assessment, an enabling device might
therefore be required in some cases, even at a reduced speed (e.g. in narrow spaces).
Note 4 to entry: Examples of reduced speeds include speeds of less than 10 mm/s for presses, less than
250 mm/s for robots, less than 250 mm/s for all non-shearing movements and less than 33 mm/s for shearing or
crushing movements.
3.27
safely-limited speed, SLS
exceeding of a predefined speed limit is safety-related prevented according to EN 61800-5-2:2017,
4.2.3.4
Note 1 to entry: Applies to linear or rotational speed.
3.28
unexpected (unintended) start-up
any start-up caused by:
— a start command which is the result of a failure in, or an external influence on the control system;
— a start command generated by inopportune action on a start control or other parts of the machine,
as e.g. a sensor or a power control element;
— restoration of the power supply after an interruption;
— external/internal influences (gravity, wind, self-ignition in internal combustion engines…) on parts
of the machine
Note 1 to entry: Automatic machine start-up during normal operation is not unintended but can be considered to
be unexpected from the point of view of the operator. Prevention of accidents in this case involves the use of
safeguarding.
Note 2 to entry: Definition adapted from EN ISO 14118:2018, 3.2.
3.29
remote access
access from remote location via interface to control systems of the cold flat rolling mill, e.g. for software
update
3.30
safety access
access into a danger zone by using interlocking guards or trip devices and monitored by the safety-related
control system
Note 1 to entry: Definition of interlocking guard and trip device according EN ISO 12100:2010, 3.27.4 and 3.28.5.
Note 2 to entry: In general, all hazardous movements are stopped.
3.31
ionizing radiation
x-ray radiation or radiation emanating from radioactive sources
4 Significant hazards and risk assessment
4.1 General
The hazards, hazardous situations and events which are identified in this document as significant and
require action to eliminate or reduce the risk are listed in Clause 5.
In general, risks and associated hazards are production and plant related. The main differences arise from
the processing of different materials in different qualities and the surroundings (i.e. different
combinations of machines, different boundary conditions, see Annex G). The resulting variety of
“different plants” could not be covered in all details in a standard. To deal with this fact, an individual risk
assessment of the rolling mill in question shall be carried out considering the safety requirements of this
document.
Significant hazards identified in this individual risk assessment but not dealt with in this document shall
be avoided respectively reduced by applying the principles of EN ISO 12100.
If combinations of machines and/or machine functions described at different parts of the standard are
located in the same danger zone, the different measures shall be considered together.
4.2 Interfaces to the linked/integrated equipment
The individual risk assessment shall include the interfaces to the linked/integrated equipment, e.g.
exhausting systems, radiation emitting system, energy supply (e.g. hydraulic fluids, compressed air,
gases, steam), auxiliary equipment and systems.
5 Safety requirements and/or protective/risk reduction measures
5.1 General
Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective/risk reduction measures of this
clause. In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100:2010 for
relevant but not significant hazards which are not dealt with by this document.
Life phases of rolling mills are the following:
a) Manufacture:
— at the manufacturer’s premises: design, manufacture, pre-assembly, transport;
— transport to facility installation site;
— on site: assembly, commissioning (in acc. with EN ISO 12100), trial runs;
— putting into service (first use for its intended purpose, CE marking issued);
b) Operation by plant operator;
c) Disabling and disassembly:
Usually, a rolling mill has a service life of several decades. In the course of the years, rolling mills are
repeatedly modernized and adapted to changed technical requirements. Thus, the condition of a
rolling mill at the date of disabling is not known, see 7.4.3;
d) Disposal:
Usually, a rolling mill has a service life of several decades. At the time of commissioning, the laws and
regulations valid at the date of disposal are not known, see 7.4.3).

according Clause 7.
The manufacturer shall include in the information for use all details required for a safe operating
procedure for the defined operating modes/ mill conditions. Points for energy isolation and dissipation
shall be described in accordance with EN ISO 14118.
It is assumed that rolling mills are operated and maintained by trained personnel (see 3.8).
It is assumed that machinery is used with adequate workplace lighting conforming to EN 12464-1 or to
local regulations.
Where frequent access is planned by the manufacturer, permanent means of access shall be provided.
It is not required to provide permanent means of access to every part of the rolling mill where temporary
activities may be necessary, e.g. for exceptional repair. The manufacturer shall provide in the Information
for use instructions about temporary means of access to be used for exceptional access.
Safety devices shall be protected against damage. In particular they shall be robust to withstand damages
related to normal operation in the respective area, e.g. caused by vibrations, water condensation, dust.
Surfaces for walking or standing shall be selected so that the risks of slips, trips and falls caused by scale,
oil, emulsion and/or lubricant are avoided or minimized. Where required, they shall be designed to
withstand moving material, tools and jets of high-pressure fluids or gases.
Means of access, such as stairways, walkways, platforms, etc. shall be in accordance with EN ISO 14122
(all parts).
5.2.2 Planning of rolling mills
If the manufacturer is not responsible for the planning of the entire plant (e.g. halls, civil works) he shall
take into account the following aspects, based on information from the user, in order to ensure good
placement and safe operation:
a) accessibility;
b) possibility of escape from the rolling mill;
c) clearance gaps for maintenance and cleaning;
d) movement of machinery and material;
e) health and safety at the work station;
f) prevention of emissions hazardous to health at the work station.
5.2.3 Linked equipment
The risk assessment shall consider the interfaces to mechanically and/or control-related linked
equipment. Respective instructions and safety measures for the interfaces shall be given in the
Information for use, e.g.:
a) Machinery/equipment/devices listed as not covered by Clause 1;
b) Fire alarm system and extinguishing system;
c) Energy and media supply (e.g. compressed air, gas, steam);
d) Auxiliary equipment and systems (e.g. measuring equipment/system);
e) Material feeding and removal.
5.2.4 Structural assembly
The manufacturer shall undertake and record design calculations to show that the structural assembly
(e.g. steel sections, auxiliaries) which forms part of the equipment is adequate to withstand the load
under intended use.
5.2.5 Safety layout
The manufacturer shall prepare a safety layout document of the rolling mill. The safety layout shows the
spatial arrangement of safety related elements and areas along the rolling mill and shall include a key.
The safety layout shall be part of the Information for use. An unambiguous relationship shall be
established between the information provided in the safety layout and the Information for use.
Specific issues, in particular interfaces like escape routes (of the plant/building) or fire extinguishing
devices have to be jointly clarified between manufacturer and user.
Where applicable, the following shall be shown:
a) danger zones (related to single and/or interconnected machinery) (see 3.3);
b) areas with specific residual risks, e.g. influence of asphyxiant gases, as due to CO -extinguishing
installation (see Table 4), radiation;
c) safeguards which prevent access to hazardous areas of the cold rolling mill;
d) safety accesses;
e) possibility of escape;
f) local control devices or stands with safety-related functions;
g) emergency stop devices;
h) warning devices and safety signs;
i) areas where no main routes are allowed.
5.2.6 Safety signs and warning devices
When machinery and equipment of rolling mills present residual hazards to personnel, safety signs
according to EN ISO 7010 and warning devices according to EN 61310-1 shall be used. They shall be so
installed, that they are perceptible before accessing/reaching the zone where the danger exists.
An accumulation of safety signs and warning devices should be avoided as this reduces the effectiveness
and thus attention of the individual devices.
Any written or verbal information on safety signs or warning devices should be expressed in the official
language or languages of the country.
The meaning of safety signs and warning devices shall be described in the Information for use (e.g. to the
hazard it refers, indication of the affected area).

Graphical symbols shall be in accordance with ISO 3864-1 and/or EN ISO 7010.
Danger signals shall be in accordance with EN ISO 7731 and/or EN 842 and/or EN 981.
The manufacturer shall not rely upon safety signs and warning devices alone to reduce hazards in case of
significant risks.
5.2.7 Personal protective equipment (PPE)
The manufacturer shall give information in the Information for use (see Clause 7) on the hazards that
require the use of PPE (e.g. noise, hazardous substances, heat).
5.2.8 Loss of energy and failure of controls
Possible hazards due to energy loss (hydraulic, pneumatic, electric) and/or failure of controls shall be
considered in the risk assessment and respective measures shall be provided. An emergency energy
supply (e.g. emergency power supply, pressure accumulator) can be used as temporary measure to
bridge the gap till the rolling mill is in safe condition. Residual risks shall be listed in the Information for
use together with compensational safeguarding measures.
In case of re-supply of energy after interruption, any unexpected start-up shall be avoided, see
EN ISO 14118.
Safety-related control systems and devices shall comply with 5.2.21.
5.2.9 Workstations and assigned modes of operation
5.2.9.1 General
