4.6 Hazards generated by noise
Pie and tart machines can generate airborne noise which can result in hearing damage, in
accidents due to interference with speech communication and in interference with the perception
of acoustic signals.
5 Safety and hygiene requirements and/or protective measures
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 292 for hazards
relevant but not significant which are not dealt with by this document.
5.1 Mechanical hazards
Pneumatically operated machines shall be designed and use components to meet the
requirements of EN 983:1996. Hydraulic machines shall comply with EN 982:1996.
Where reference is made to interlocking devices throughout clause 5, they shall comply with 4.2.1,
5 and 6 of EN 1088:1995.
Unless stated otherwise, safety related parts of control systems shall be to category 1 of EN 954-
1:1996.
All guards shall be constructed in accordance with EN 953:1997 in particular clauses 6 and 7.
Unless stated otherwise interlocking shall be by use of control interlocking (4.1.1, EN 1088:1995).
Manual controls shall be located outside the hazard zones and as detailed in 5.5.
5.1.1 Access to zone 1
5.1.1.1 Machines where the operator's hands enter the hazard zone at each cycle
Access shall be prevented by provision of a moveable interlocking guard (Figure 4). The
interlocking device chosen shall stop movement of the closing die before injury can occur. This
may be achieved by a maximum stopping time of one second after any movement of the guard
from close or use of guard locking (3.3 and 4.2.2, EN 1088:1995).
Either power interlocking (4.1.2, EN 1088:1995) or control interlocking (4.1.1, EN 1088:1995) with
a dual circuit may be used and devices shall comply with clauses 5 and 6 of EN 1088:1995.
The safety related control system shall be in accordance with EN 954-1:1996, category 3. The
performance of the interlocking device(s) shall be compatible with this category (7.6,
EN 1088:1995).

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------

SIST EN 13390:2002
EN 13390:2002 (E)
5.1.1.2 Machines which are loaded outside the hazard zone
Access shall be prevented by a combination of fixed guards and moveable interlocking guards (3.2
and 4.2.1, EN 1088:1995) used if necessary in conjunction with false tables or table frames and
adjustable sections so that all openings giving access to the hazard zone are minimized and a
permanent warning sign showing the risk (see EN 61310-1) shall be fixed to the machine.
Suitable false tables and/or frames shall be supplied for use with all dies/platforms provided with
the machine. In relation to height of frames the minimum provision necessary for any particular
size of mould is one frame corresponding to the deepest pie mould of that size. Means to avoid
pastry fouling the guard shall be provided, for example, the frame webs may be higher than the pie
moulds.
Where shearing traps are created between guards and false tables or frames, injury shall be
prevented by :
- limiting the force, with which the rotating table indexes round, to 75 N ;
- using a device which causes the table to stop in a time less than or equal to 0,5 s (e.g. trip
flaps).
Figures 5 and 6 show examples of the use of table frames and false tables respectively.
When false tables or table frames are used means shall be provided to ensure that the machine
cannot operate unless these are in place. This may be achieved by interlocking with the machine
control circuit. Because of the technical difficulty of interlocking a rotating frame or table the use of
proximity switches which complies with 5.7.3 and 6.3 of EN 1088:1995 is allowed for example a
metal detecting proximity switch will be acceptable. If adjustable guards are used the detection
switch shall be fixed to the adjustable portion of the guard so that guard adjustment allowing only
openings in accordance with Table 4 of EN 294:1992 is necessary to allow machine operation.
5.1.1.3 Automatic machines
Access shall be prevented by a combination of fixed and movable interlocking guards (Figure 7).
5.1.2 Access to zone 2
During its operation, access to the depositor cut off device, shall be prevented. Access via the
feed hopper may be prevented by fixed or movable interlocking guards whose dimensions comply
with EN 294:1992, Table 4. Where the hopper itself is removable for cleaning access to the hazard
zone shall be prevented. This may be achieved by interlocking the hopper itself.
Where movable interlocking guards or removable hoppers are used, the stopping time shall be
less than or equal to 0,5 s.
Access via the discharge outlet shall be prevented by use of an outlet whose dimensions comply
with EN 294:1992, Table 4 or by a suitable curved outlet tube designed to prevent access.
Because of the need for accurate dispensing of product this may not always be achievable. The
use of a piston mechanism (with a maximum force of 50 N) can be used to prevent access to the
depositor cut off device. The residual risk of slight injury from these should be highlighted by a
warning sign on the machine and in the machine instruction handbook.

EN 13390:2002 (E)
5.1.3 Access to zone 3
Access to the inrunning rollers of the dough sheeter, shall be prevented. This may be achieved by
a combination of fixed and movable interlocking guards to prevent access via the hopper. When
an open hopper is used access may be prevented by use of swan neck extension, whose
dimensions comply with Table 4 of EN 294:1992 (see Figure 7).
5.1.4 Access to zone 4
Access to the dough cutting guillotine shall be prevented. This may be achieved by fixed guarding
(EN 953) to the infeed and outfeed conveyors which complies with the distance requirements in
Table 4 of EN 294:1992.
5.1.5 Access to zone 5
The shearing hazard at zone 5 shall be eliminated as far as possible by design, for example
careful location of structural members below moving conveyors with openings for foils.
Access to any such traps through the foil dispensing magazine shall be prevented. This may be by
the presence of the foils themselves if a sensing device e.g. a suitable photocell (see EN 61496-
1:1997) stops the machine before the magazine becomes empty and prevents it starting unless a
foil is in place.
A trip mechanism or flap may also be used to prevent injury at Zone 5. Movement of the
mechanism or flap shall be interlocked to stop movement of the machinery before injury occurs.
Figure 5 shows an example of a trip mechanism. In the case of rotating table machines the entire
front guard may act as a trip mechanism.
5.1.6 Access to zone 6
Access to the inrunning nips shall be prevented by fixed guards complying with dimensions of
Table 4 of EN 294:1992.
For example a guard such as the one marked B in Figure 10, shall be fitted to prevent access to
the inrunning nip.
5.1.7 Access to zone 7
Trapping points at the ejector unit shall be prevented by design in accordance with EN 349:1993,
Table 1.
Alternatively, the trapping hazard may be eliminated by observing the safety distances set out in
EN 294:1992, Table 4 or by provision of an interlocked guard.

EN 13390:2002 (E)
5.1.8 Access to zone 8
Access to hazards in the drive mechanism shall be prevented. This may be achieved by the use of
fixed or movable and interlocked guards.
5.1.9 Loss of stability
Machines shall be designed to be stable and shall comply with 5.1.9.1 to 5.1.9.2 as applicable. For
machines designed to be fixed to the floor, the instruction handbook shall indicate the values of
forces at the fixing points.
5.1.9.1 Free standing machines without castors shall be stable when tilted 10° from the
horizontal plane in the most unfavourable direction.
5.1.9.2 Free standing machines with castors shall have at least two castors (or sets of castors)
fitted with a locking device, and shall comply with the provisions of 5.1.9.1.
5.2 Electrical hazards
The electrical equipment shall comply with EN 60204-1:1997, with the following precisions.
5.2.1 Electromagnetic compatibility (see 4.4.2 of EN 60204-1:1997)
Where electrical/electronic components are used, the manufacturer shall ensure that the
equipment shall not generate electromagnetic disturbances above the levels that are
appropriate for its intended place of use. In addition, the equipment shall have adequate level of
immunity to electromagnetic disturbances so that it can correctly function in its intended place
of use.
NOTE 1  The supplier of the electrical/electronic equipment should be able to detail its electromagnetic
compatibility.
NOTE 2  Where conditions of use, installation and maintenance are specified by the supplier in order to
achieve electromagnetic compatibility, these should be complied with by the manufacturer.
5.2.2 Cleaning with water
If the machine or part of the machine is intended to be cleaned with water, the manufacturer shall
provide warnings and a method of cleaning in the instruction handbook.
5.2.3 Protection against electric shock (see clause 6 of EN 60204-1:1997)
The electrical equipment shall comply with clause 6 of EN 60204-1:1997.

5.2.4 Power circuits (see 7.2.3 of EN 60204-1:1997)
A device for detection and interruption of overcurrent in the phase conductor is sufficient for single
phase machines.
5.2.5 Earth faults (see 9.4.3.1 of EN 60204-1:1997)
For machinery supplied from a single phase conductor and an earthed neutral conductor, there is
no requirement for double pole interruption.
5.2.6 Emergency stop (see 10.7 of EN 60204-1:1997)
For machines where the operator's hands enter the hazard zone at each cycle and guarded
according to 5.1.1.1 (Figure 1), an emergency stop is not required. A normal stop shall be fitted
which causes the die to rise to its top position before power is disconnected.
For machines which are loaded outside the hazard zone Ffigure 2), an emergency stop of
category 1 is required, which stops the rotation of the table within 0,5 sand causes the die to rise
to its top position before power is disconnected.
For automatic machines (Figure 3), one or more emergency stop of category 1 (see 4.1 of EN
418:1992) shall be fitted at each side of the machine so that index, sheeters and depositors stop
within 0,5 sand the guillotine and dies rise to their top positions before power is disconnected.
5.2.7 Start function (see 10.6 of EN 60204-1:1997)
Start devices shall be designed to reduce the risk of inadvertent operation by conforming to EN
60204-1, 10.6.
5.2.8 Motor enclosures (see 15.2 of EN 60204-1:1997)
Where a motor has a degree of protection lower than IP23 it shall be mounted inside an enclosure
that guarantees a minimum degree of protection of IP23.
5.3 Thermal hazards
The temperature of external machine components, except the dies, which in ordinary use can
come into contact with the operator for 3 s maximum, shall not exceed the temperature limit value
of 65 °C for uncoated metal.
For other materials, see EN 563:1994.
On machines where the die(s) is (are) heated, the design shall minimize the risk of accidental
contact with the die when loading and unloading.

annex A which gives additional information.
The three zones in EN 1672-2:1997 are defined as follows.
5.4.1 Food area
The food area is generally at least as follows :
- inside of all hoppers, sheeters and associated solid guards. Where guards have grids or bars
the whole guard shall be included in the food area ;
- all dies, platforms, platens, the top of false tables and table frames ;
- all surfaces of rotating tables or moving belts;
- all measuring and sheeting devices.
On the manually loaded machines, where the operator is frequently touching the product directly
with the hand (without a tool) and then the controls, controls n
