Introduction
Use of vegetable peelers generates various mechanical and other hazards.
Their extensive use in numerous countries justifies the need of a standard covering both safety and the hazards to
food hygiene arising from machine design complementary to EN 1672-2 which state common hygiene
requirements for food processing machines.
This European standard has been prepared to be a harmonised standard to provide one means of conformity with
the essential safety and hygiene requirements of the Machinery Directive and associated EFTA Regulations.
This European standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this standard.
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 the other standards, for machines that
have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.

1 Scope
1.1 This European standard specifies the safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of
vegetable peelers used in the commercial and institutional catering industry, and in food shops.
The machines concerned by this standard are designed to peel different sorts of vegetables and tubers such as
potatoes, carrots, salsify, turnips, celery and onions.
The standard is limited to machines where the maximum capacity is 50 kg.
The machines are not intended to be moved during operation.
The rotating plate mixes the product under appropriate conditions so that the desired operation is carried out on the
entire load.
This operation can be:
the abrading of the surface of the vegetable or tuber;
the cutting of fine particles of skin if the fitting is of the blade-type;
grating, an operation which is similar to abrading;
scraping or cleaning with a brush, rubber coating or cast iron surface.
Machines subject to this standard use water circulation to carry waste to the waste outlet. The underside of the
plate is sometimes designed with raised parts which speed up the discharge of the waste water.
This European standard applies when such machines are used to operate under the intended conditions of use as
defined in 3.12 of EN 292-1:1991 and stated in the instruction handbook (see 7.1), including cleaning, removal of
food blockages and loading, and installation, maintenance, and disposal of wastes.
Machines covered by this standard are not intended to be cleaned by high pressure water jets.
1.2 This European standard does not apply to domestic machines.
Vegetable peelers have nothing in common with meat derinding machines (which are dealt with in prEN 12355),
both from their design and use standpoint.
1.3 This European standard covers significant hazards at such machines, as identified by risk assessment (see
EN 1050), which are listed in clause 4 of this standard.
1.4 Noise is not considered to be a significant hazard for vegetable peelers. This does not mean that the
manufacturer of the machine is absolved from reducing noise and making a noise declaration.
1.5 This European standard does not deal with the vibrations hazard.
1.6 This European standard applies primarily to machines which are manufactured after its date of issue.
1.7 It has been assumed in preparing this standard that the vegetables to be processed have no foreign bodies,
e.g. stones.

4 List of significant hazards
4.1 General
This standard covers the significant hazards related to intended conditions of use.
NOTE If the machine is not to be used as described in clause 7 of this standard, the manufacturer should, when he is
informed of such situation, check on the basis of a new risk analysis that the preventive measures remain valid and sufficient.
4.2 Mechanical hazards
For these machines, the mechanical hazards are low because the operating cycle does not require any manual
operation inside the chamber during the peeling. The only manual operation when the plate rotates is the loading
with food products which prevents interlocking of the cover.
4.2.1 Access to the danger zones
Mechanical hazards arise from the risk of contact with the rotating parts.
In the example in Figure 3, the hazard zones are:
Zone 1: Access to the peeling chamber via the feeding opening for the product being processed:
Hazard of crushing of fingers.
Zone 2: Access to the peeling chamber via the delivery chute:
Hazard of crushing of fingers and hands.
Zone 3: Rotating plate:
Hazard of abrasion, cutting, trapping of fingers and hands.
Zone 4: Drive system:
Hazard of crushing, trapping of fingers and hands.
Zone 5: Waste outlet:
Hazard of crushing, trapping of fingers and hands.
Zone 6: Hinged lid:
Hazard of impact to fingers, hands and arms.

Inability to clean food and splash area effectively and thoroughly.
Contamination of the food by undesirable materials including residues of food, microbiological organisms as well as
residues of cleaning and disinfecting fluids.
4.5 Hazards generated by neglecting ergonomic principles in machine design
Neglecting ergonomic principles can cause mistakes in operation of controls, or physical injury to the operator due
to over-reaching, heavy loads, awkward posture, etc.
There is a severe risk of ergonomic problems caused by heavy loads when filling the machine and taking away the
peeled product.
5 Safety and hygiene requirements and/or measures
5.1 General
Vegetable peelers conforming to this standard 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 (e.g. sharp edges).
NOTE For hazards which are to be reduced by the application of another standard such as EN 1672-2, and EN 60204-1,
the manufacturer should carry out a risk assessment to establish the requirements of the standard which are to be applied. This
specific risk assessment is part of the general risk assessment of the machine.
Where the means of reducing the risk is by the physical arrangement or positioning of the installed machine, the
manufacturer shall include in the Information for use a reference to the reduction means to be provided, and to any
limiting value of the requirement, and, if appropriate, to the means of verification.
Where the means of reducing the risk is by a safe system of working the machinery, the manufacturer shall include
in the Information for use details of the system and of the elements of training required by the operating personnel.
5.2 Mechanical hazards
The safety objective is to prevent access to the parts which would injure when they are in motion. This shall be
achieved by compliance with the following.
5.2.1 Access to danger zones
5.2.1.1 Zone 1: Access to peeling chamber via feeding opening
The gap between the rotating plate and the walls of the peeling chamber shall not exceed 8 mm.
5.2.1.2 Zone 2: Access to the peeling chamber via the delivery chute

6 Verification of the safety and hygiene requirements and/or measures
This clause contains the methods of testing for the presence and adequacy of the safety requirements stated in
clause 5. All safety measures of clause 5 contain self-evident criteria of acceptance.
Verification of the requirements can be made by means of inspection, calculation, or testing. These shall be
applied to a machine in a fully commissioned condition but partial dismantling may be necessary for the purpose of
some checks. Such partial dismantling shall not invalidate the result of the verification.
Methods of verification are given in Table 1.
