Overview

EN 1870-17:2007/prA1 is a draft amendment to the European standard EN 1870-17:2007 covering the safety of woodworking machines specifically for manual horizontal cutting cross‑cut sawing machines with one saw unit (manual radial arm saws). Prepared by CEN/TC 142, this prA1 draft is distributed for review and, if accepted, will modify the parent standard and contribute to a consolidated text (EN 1870-17:2007+A2:2009).

Key updates in this draft amendment include modifications to normative references, marking and instruction handbook requirements, ergonomics and handling provisions, and the addition of informative relationship mapping to EU Directive 2006/42/EC (Annex ZB).

Key Topics

• Scope and status: This document is a final draft amendment submitted for unique acceptance; it supports the essential requirements of the Machinery Directive and is issued in English, French and German versions.

• Normative references updated: EN ISO 13857:2008 replaces EN 294:1992; EN 60825-1:2007 replaces EN 60825-1:1994; EN ISO 13849-2:2008 is referenced in the bibliography.

• Ergonomics and handling: Machines and components with a mass exceeding 25 kg shall include attachments to permit fitting of a lifting device (for safe transport, assembly, dismantling and scrapping).

• Marking: Manufacturer name and address, year of construction, and clear designation of the machinery and series/type are required on the machine.

• Instruction handbook: Expanded content requirements include noise information for sales literature, safe handling for transport and dismantling, emergency operating methods for accidents or blockages, and specifications for spare parts affecting health and safety.

• Annex ZB (informative): Added mapping between the standard clauses and the Essential Requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC, clarifying which clauses confer a presumption of conformity and noting exceptions (for example, ER 1.5.3 excludes hydraulically powered machine actuators).

Applications

This amendment applies to manufacturers, technical authors, conformity assessors and safety managers working with manual radial arm saws and related circular sawing machines. Practical benefits include:

• Improved operator protection through clarified guarding, control and maintenance requirements.
• Enhanced ergonomics and handling guidance for heavy components and safer servicing.
• Clearer compliance path with the Machinery Directive via Annex ZB mapping and updated normative references.
• Stronger documentation and marking expectations to aid traceability and safe use.

Related Standards

• EN 1870 (other parts): the overall series for circular sawing machines (Part 1, Part 3, Part 11, Part 17, etc.).
• EN ISO 13857:2008 - Safety distances to prevent reaching hazard zones.
• EN 60825-1:2007 - Safety of laser equipment (where applicable).
• EN ISO 13849-2:2008 - Safety-related parts of control systems (bibliography update).

For manufacturers and compliance teams, EN 1870-17:2007/prA1 provides targeted amendments to reinforce safe design, marking and documentation practices for manual horizontal cross‑cut circular sawing machines and to streamline alignment with EU legal requirements.
