EN 14656:2006 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100. The equipment concerned and the extent to which hazards and 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. Any other solution leading to the same risk reduction is permissible if an equivalent level of safety is achieved. This European Standard assumes that the equipment is operated and maintained by trained personnel.

This assessment then formed the basis for determining: a) the safety features which shall be incorporated into the equipment and b) any special instructions which shall be communicated to the user.



EN 14656:2006 (E) 9 The significant hazards and hazardous situations are defined in 5.2, columns 1 and 2 of Table 1 and Annex A, Table A.1. In addition it is important for the manufacturer to carry out an individual risk assessment according EN 1050 to identify any other significant hazard of the machine/equipment. Significant hazards identified in this individual risk assessment but not dealt with in this European Standard shall be reduced by applying the principles of EN ISO 12100-2. The manufacturer shall establish at the contract stage all hazards which may arise from any foreseeable cause in which the equipment may be used, and the appropriate preventative measures. The repeated reference to "operating/maintenance instruction" in Table 1 is an instruction to the manufacturer to give details of the information that shall be included in the information for use manual (see 7.5) which shall be supplied with the equipment and which shall be available at all times to the operator(s) and maintenance personnel of the equipment. 5 Safety requirements and/or measures 5.1 General 5.1.1 Introduction Extrusion presses for steel and non-ferrous metals shall comply with the safety requirements and/or measures of Clause 5. This clause specifies and explains the preventative measures given in Table 1 and it also describes additional safety features, procedures and techniques which shall be considered by the designer and the manufacturer of the equipment. 5.1.2 Site inspections The manufacturer shall undertake sufficient site inspections to establish all safety requirements of the equipment design with regard to a) accessibility, according to the requirements of 5.1.10 and EN ISO 14122-2, b) maintenance and clearance gaps for cleaning, according to the requirements of EN 294, EN 349, EN 811, EN 953 and EN 1088, c) movement of machinery and materials, according to the requirements of EN 999, d) safe operation, according to the requirements of 5.2, e) health and safety at the workplace, according to the requirements of EN 294, EN 811, EN 953 and f) prevention of emissions hazardous to health at the workplace (e.g. noise, vibration, pollution). 5.1.3 Structural assembly The manufacturer shall undertake and record design calculations to show that the structural assembly of the equipment, e.g. materials, auxiliaries, services and potential foundation block ground loadings, are adequate for safety functions under intended use. NOTE It remains the responsibility of the user to ensure the grounding is suitable to withstand the forces generated by the equipment based on the information supplied by the manufacturer.



EN 14656:2006 (E) 10 5.1.4 Safety layout A safety layout showing all plant-related safety devices and their position in the plant shall be provided by the manufacturer and shall describe: a) isolators, b) emergency stops, according to the requirements of EN 418, c) escape routes (if necessary, e.g., for large plants), d) other safety marking, according to the requirements of EN ISO 7731 and EN 842, e) guards (generic terms), according to the requirements of EN 294, EN 811, EN 953 and EN ISO 14122-2 and f) fire precautions (if applicable). 5.1.5 Safety devices Safety devices which require regular monitoring, e.g., fixed guards, interlocked guards, light beams, proximity devices and emergency stops, shall be accessible for inspection and maintenance and protected against damage under foreseeable conditions. In particular, they shall be selected, constructed and be sufficiently robust to operate reliably. 5.1.6 Railings Railings shall not be used as the sole measure for safeguarding danger zones. They are intended to prevent slips, trips and falls. 5.1.7 Discharge of fluids The manufacturer shall give instructions for discharge of fluids in case of maintenance of the fluid systems or due to a leakage. These instructions shall include information for sealed surfaces (e.g. foundation), drains and the fluid that will be discharged. 5.1.8 Personal protective equipment (PPE) The manufacturer shall give information in the instruction handbook (see 7.5) on the required type of personal protective equipment needed to safeguard personnel from any risks remaining after applying the safety measures. 5.1.9 Warning devices and safety signs Warning devices and safety signs are additions to the design requirements to reduce hazards. Warning devices and safety signs according to EN 61310-1 and EN 61310-2 shall be used. Appropriate signs shall be in accordance with ISO 7000. Danger signals shall be in accordance with EN ISO 7731 and/or EN 842 and/or EN 981. Warning signs shall be affixed so that they are visible from outside the danger zone. The manufacturer shall not rely upon warning devices and safety signs alone to reduce hazards in case of significant risks.



EN 14656:2006 (E) 11 5.1.10 Access The manufacturer shall take account of the following: a) access to the plant shall be controlled in such a way that unintentional entry into any danger zone shall not be possible, considering EN ISO 12100-2 and EN 953; b) access to control desks, pulpits, underground areas, inspection and service floors shall be protected against heat radiation, jets of high pressure fluids and designed to withstand moving materials and tools (if any), according EN 294, EN 811, EN ISO 14122-1, EN ISO 14122-2, EN ISO 14122-3 and
EN ISO 14122-4; c) surfaces for walking or standing shall be so designed, that risks of slipping caused by scale, oil and/or lubricant are minimised; d) the relevant category for controls for access to equipment during operation or maintenance shall be selected from B.2 and consider the requirements of EN 1037; e) areas of the equipment which are entered regularly due to maintenance reasons shall be easily accessible and considering a). 5.1.11 Electrical equipment Electrical equipment shall meet the requirements of EN 60204-1. In particular the manufacturer shall construct and install all electrical equipment so that it is capable of withstanding all hazards, including those from heat, vibration, wet conditions, identified in the risk assessment required at the design stage and taking into account the requirement set out in Annex B. 5.1.12 Safety control system Each safety control shall be selected in accordance with the severity of the risk as described in EN 954-1. The function of each safety control shall be considered in combination with other elements of the safety control system and shall be selected so as it does not reduce the safety level of any other component of the control system. For the hazards listed in Table 1 where an electrical control system is involved a risk assessment shall be carried out according to EN 954-1. 5.1.13 Guards Guards shall be provided to prevent access to a danger zone. They shall be selected as appropriate for the degree and frequency of access to be permitted, e.g. an enclosing guard or distance guard, fixed or movable with interlock. This selection shall be made according to EN 953. Interlock systems shall meet the requirements of EN 1088. The requirements of the guards shall conform to Clause 5 of EN 953:1997 and to EN 294, EN 349, EN 811. 5.1.14 Surface temperatures Surfaces, which are intended to be touched with bare hands, shall have temperatures not exceeding the burn threshold for the contact time and material as specified in EN 563. 5.1.15 Operators' visibility A good operators' visibility to the operating process shall be provided. Where it is not possible to prevent access to hazardous areas which are not naturally visible from the operator’s position, e.g. the die during break-through of the profile, devices shall be provided



EN 14656:2006 (E) 12  to prevent the operation of the equipment while a person is present in the area and/or  to give the operator a clear view of the hazardous area, e.g. suitably placed mirrors or closed circuit televison (CCTV). 5.1.16 Hydraulic and pneumatic systems Hydraulic and pneumatic systems shall meet the requirements of EN 982, EN 983 and Annex A. 5.1.17 Ergonomics Operators positions and places which are regularly visited for the purposes of routine maintenance shall be designed to ergonomic principles described in EN 894-1, EN 894-2 EN 894-3, EN 614-1 and EN ISO 11064-1. 5.2 List of significant hazards, hazardous situations, safety requirements and/or measures Table 1 is developed to allow the designer and manufacturer of the equipment to apply a logical approach to checking their design proposals against the list of significant hazards that have to be addressed for their particular extrusion equipment. Hence the layout of Table 1 traces the route of the extrusion process  from the billet handling and transfer station(s) (see 5.2.1) to the  press and die handling positions (see 5.2.2) through to the  run-out, cooling and finishing sections of the equipment (see 5.2.3). The table then addresses miscellaneous hazards (5.2.4) difficult to categorise (e.g. noise, vibration radiation, materials/substances and ergonomic hazards). Each of the items listed in 5.2.1, 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 addresses the mechanical, hydraulic/pneumatic, electrical and thermal hazards where they are relevant. Each clause is further subdivided into extrusion presses for steel, aluminium and copper/brass processing. This approach allows the designer to pick the process appropriate to his equipment. Table 1 is a comprehensive presentation of identified significant hazards, the situations that give rise to the hazards, the safety requirements to reduce risks, and the means of verifying their presence:  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 risk. They are shown as combined measures or as options;  column 4 makes references to clauses or standards which are relevant to the safety requirements and/or measures identified in this European Standard to avoid or minimize the risk; NOTE 1 When implementing safety requirements and/or measures it has to be considered that different hazards may appear at the same time. NOTE 2 5.3 contains special safety requirements or measures.  column 5 identifies the verification method(s) to be used to demonstrate conformity. Verification may involve more than one method. The abbreviations V, D and M are defined as follows:
V: Visual inspection verifies the required features of the components.



EN 14656:2006 (E) 13 D: Drawings and/or calculations verify that the design characteristics of the components provided meet the requirements of the relevant standards. M: Measurement or mode test verifies that requirements are met, within the tolerances permitted by the relevant standards. For further information on verification see Clause 6.
