The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this European 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. Where for clarity an example of a preventative measure is given in the text, this should not be considered as the only possible solution. Other solutions can be used as far as they fulfil correctly the criteria expressed in the requirement. This European Standard assumes, that the equipment is operated and maintained by trained personnel." 1 Scope This standard specifies requirements to be met by the manufacturer of abrasive blasting equipment for the foreseeable significant hazards due to design, construction and installation, during commissioning, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of the equipment which employ either centrifugal force or compressed air as a means of accelerating abrasive to achieve the desired result. Abrasive blasting equipment covers: centrifugal blasting machines; air blasting machines; loading, conveying and unloading systems for the workpieces. See Annex A for more details. This standard covers all foreseeable significant hazards which could be encountered during the lifetime of the machine as listed in clause 5.

The equipment comprises a chamber which contains the workpiece and also prevents the abrasive media from escaping to the environment after impacting on the workpiece. It also incorporates: a system for collecting, recycling, cleaning by air or magnetic separation or a combination of both and storage for the abrasive media ready to feed back to the dosing device for abrasive media (for examples of blasting equipment types see Annex A, for an example of a processing scheme see Annex B, Figure B.1) and a conveying system for workpieces. !3.3 abrasive media granular metallic or non-metallic material to be forcibly applied to a surface to achieve the desired result NOTE Classification of metallic abrasives see EN ISO 11124-1, of non-metallic abrasives see EN ISO 11126-1.

A parameter for the level of safety measures to be applied is the risk of accident to be expected, the extent of which depends upon the highest foreseeable degree of severity and effect as well as the probability of an injury e.g. exposure to risk (frequency of intervention or access or duration of stay in a danger zone). Movable safeguards or facilities with guarding functions in danger zones with fixed cycle intervention or access (e.g. during filling with molten metal, periodical manual cleaning, or trouble shooting) require a special degree of safety against unexpected start up or dangerous movements, as well as against hazardous sources and failure of relevant safeguards and control systems. !The significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, as far as they are dealt with in this document, identified by risk assessment as significant for this type of machinery and which require action to eliminate or reduce the risk, are listed in Clause 5, Table 1, together with the appropriate safety measures."

In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100-2 for relevant but not significant hazards which are not dealt with by this document. 5.1.2 When selecting the adequate safety measures the manufacturer shall apply the following principles in the given order: 1) elimination or minimisation of risks by integration of the safety concept into the design of the machine; 2) establishment of adequate safety measures against remaining risks (e.g. guard scaffolding, light barriers); 3) instruction to personnel concerning the remaining risks (e.g. service manuals, danger signs). When more than one measure is necessary to safeguard a hazard then all the necessary measures shall be used. When selecting the safety requirements and/or measures consideration shall be given to the different hazards that may appear at the same time. Warning signs alone are not sufficient in cases of significant risk. 5.1.3 Where access is into a working area is by guards/doors the safety related parts of the electro-mechanical/electronic control system shall be in accordance with at least performance level PL=d with use of category 3 according to EN ISO 13849-1:2006. The hydraulic and pneumatic systems shall be in accordance with at least performance level PL=c with use of category 1 according to
EN ISO 13849-1:2006. 5.1.4 Where it is possible to gain access to a hazardous area which is not protected by a movable guard or door, access shall be prevented by fixed guards in accordance with EN ISO 13857, EN 953 and EN 1088. 5.1.5 Emergency stop equipment shall be in accordance with EN ISO 13850 (where applicable, for determination of stop categories see Table 1). 5.1.6 The following Table 1 is developed to allow the designer and manufacturer of the equipment to apply a logical approach for checking the design against the list of significant hazards with respect to abrasive blasting equipment. Table 1 is structured as follows: column 1 identifies the significant hazards; column 2 describes the hazardous situations; column 3 specifies the safety requirements and/or measures to avoid or minimize the hazards and hazardous situations; column 4 identifies the verification methods to be used to demonstrate conformity; the abbreviations V, P, M and D are defined as follows: SIST EN 1248:2002+A1:2009
