EN 415-7: 2006 (E) 8 Introduction Group and secondary packaging machines are used extensively in Europe, in an increasingly wide range of industries. They contain several significant hazards and have the potential to cause serious injury. This document is a type C standard as defined in the Introduction of EN ISO 12100-1:2003. 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.

1 Scope This European Standard applies to the following groups of machines: Group and secondary packaging machines and the collating systems associated with them. The individual machines are described in 3.2 of this European Standard. This European Standard deals with safety requirements for machine design, construction, installation, commissioning, operation, adjustment, maintenance and cleaning of group and secondary packaging machines. The extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered, are indicated in Clause 4. Exclusions This European Standard is not applicable to the following machines:  machines that were manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN;  strapping machines. These machines are covered by EN 415-8;  crate loaders and un-loaders for pre-formed rigid containers. These machines are covered by
EN 415-2;  cartoning machines. Cartoning machines are covered by EN 415-3. This European Standard does not consider the following hazards:  use of group and secondary packaging machines in potentially explosive atmospheres;  health, safety or hygiene hazards associated with the products that may be handled by the machines, but does include general advice on this subject;  hazards that may be associated with electromagnetic emissions from group and secondary packaging machines;  hazards that may be associated with decommissioning group and secondary packaging machines. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
