General Information
Relations
Overview
SIST EN 1218-1:2000/kprA1:2009 is a European standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) under Technical Committee CEN/TC 142 focused on woodworking machine safety. This document specifically addresses the safety of single end tenoning machines with sliding tables-hereafter called “machines”-designed to cut solid wood, chipboard, fibreboard, plywood, and similar materials including those covered with plastic laminate or edgings. The standard details significant hazards associated with these machines and specifies safety requirements, control systems, and protective measures to reduce or eliminate risks during operation.
This standard supports regulatory compliance with the Machinery Directive and harmonizes safety requirements across European member states, improving machine safety, operator health, and machine reliability in woodworking environments.
Key Topics
Scope and Definitions
The standard precisely defines the types of woodworking materials and machines covered, focusing on tenoning machines with sliding tables for single-end cutting operations.Identification of Significant Hazards
A comprehensive hazard list addresses mechanical dangers such as crushing, shearing, cutting, entanglement, drawing-in or trapping of parts, impact hazards, and high-pressure fluid hazards.Electrical Safety Hazards
Specifications for protection against electrical risks such as direct and indirect contact with live parts, including measures on control system reliability and emergency stop functions.Noise and Ergonomic Factors
Guidelines to minimize risks from noise exposure and ergonomic issues including unhealthy postures and excessive operator effort are included, improving workplace safety and operator comfort.Control Systems Safety and Reliability
Requirements cover the design and testing of control systems, ensuring functions like starting, stopping, emergency stops, speed changes, and power failure responses are reliable and safe.Risk Reduction Measures
The standard defines safety guarding, machine strength, spindle locking mechanisms, prevention of access to moving parts, and prevention of hazards like unexpected start-up or breakdowns during operation.Marking and Documentation
Clear marking of hazards and comprehensive instruction handbooks are mandated to enhance operator awareness, proper use, and maintenance of machines.
Applications
SIST EN 1218-1:2000/kprA1:2009 is highly applicable for manufacturers, safety engineers, and employers in industries using woodworking machines for:
Furniture manufacturing utilizing tenoning machines for joint cutting on wood boards with or without laminate coverings.
Joinery workshops processing solid wood or wood-derived panels safely through sliding table machines.
Production lines producing chipboard, fibreboard, or plywood components requiring adherence to uniform safety protocols.
By following this standard, stakeholders significantly reduce occupational hazards like mechanical injuries, electrical shocks, noise-induced hearing loss, and ergonomic strain, leading to safer working environments and improved productivity.
Related Standards
This standard references and aligns with key related harmonized standards for comprehensive safety compliance in woodworking machinery:
EN ISO 12100-1 & 12100-2 – Basic concepts and general principles for machine design and safety risk assessment.
EN ISO 13857:2008 – Safety distances to prevent reach into hazardous machine zones.
EN ISO 13850:2006 – Principles for emergency stop design.
EN 60204-1:2006 – Safety requirements for electrical equipment of machines.
EN 848-1:2007 – Safety requirements for sanding machines.

EN 61310-1:2008 – Requirements for safety-related visual and tactile signals.
EN 1005 series – Human physical performance and ergonomic requirements.
Implementing SIST EN 1218-1:2000/kprA1:2009 together with these standards ensures a holistic, state-of-the-art approach to woodworking machine safety, addressing mechanical, electrical, ergonomic, and environmental hazards comprehensively.
By adopting the safety requirements and risk management methods in EN 1218-1, woodworking professionals achieve increased protection, legal compliance, and operational efficiency enhancing overall workshop safety and machine life cycle management.
