The safety related parts of the control system shall be category 3 of EN 954-1:1996. 5.1.1.3 Access through the feed opening The dimensions and the design of the hopper or other feeding device shall be such as to avoid the possibility of the upper limbs reaching the cutting chamber through the feed opening. The safety distances shall be in accordance with EN 294:1992, table 2. 5.1.1.4 Access through the discharge opening Access to the rotor(s) in the shredding chamber through the discharge opening shall be prevented until the motion of the rotor(s) has ceased. This shall be achieved by interlocking guards in accordance with 3.5 of EN 953:1997 and EN 1088:1995, if the minimum distances between the guards and the rotors are in accordance with EN 999:1998. If these minimum distances cannot be achieved, interlocking guards with guard locking in accordance with 3.6 of EN 953:1997 and EN 1088:1995 shall be provided; the safety related parts of the control system shall be category 3 of EN 954-1:1996. 5.1.2 Feeding area 5.1.2.1 Entanglement by the material being fed The manufacturer shall give advice to the user on precautions to be taken if the material being processed is likely to cause entanglement (see 7.1.5). NOTE In shredding lines materials are usually pre-cut by, for example, guillotines if the hazard due to entanglement can occur. 5.1.2.2 Ejection of parts of the machine or material Measures shall be taken at the design stage to prevent the possibility of ejection of parts of the machine or of material through the feed opening. Examples of the measures which can be taken are:  feeding devices designed in such a way that ejection of material or parts of the machine is prevented so far as possible, as shown in figure 1a;  protective flaps as shown in figure 1b. 5.1.3 Discharge area Access to the rotor(s) in the discharge area shall be prevented until the motion of the rotor(s) has ceased. This shall be achieved by fixed guards in accordance with 3.5 of EN 953:1997 and EN 1088:1995 if the minimum distances between the guards and the rotors are in accordance with EN 999:1998.
