Safety of packaging machines - Part 3: Form, fill and seal machines
This European Standard establishes safety requirements for form, fill and seal packaging machines and the filling machines which are particularly associated with them. This group of machines is defined in detail in clause 3 of this standard, with diagrams illustrating examples of the principle of operation of each machine type. However briefly, this standard covers the following broad groups of machines: - horizontal form, fill and seal machines; - vertical form, fill and seal machines; - pre-made bag erect fill and seal machines; - mandrel flexible package or carton form, fill and seal machines; - carton erect, fill and close machines; - thermoform, fill and seal machines. Filling machines commonly fitted to form, fill and seal machines including: - auger fillers; - volumetric cup fillers; - volumetric piston fillers; - counters; - gravimetric fillers (weighers). This standard covers the safety requirements for machine design, construction, installation, commissioning, operation, adjustment, maintenance and cleaning. This part of EN 415 applies primarily to machines manufactured after the date of issue of this standard. This standard does not cover in detail the safety or hygiene hazards associated with the products which may be handled on form, fill and seal machines, but does include general advice. This standard does not cover thermoforming machines. These machines are covered in prEN 12409. This standard does not cover blow mould, fill and seal machines. The main hazards and safety requirements for these machines are described in EN 422. This document is not applicable to form, fill and seal machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN 415-3:1999 as amended.
Sicherheit von Verpackungsmaschinen - Teil 3: Form-, Füll- und Verschließmaschinen
Diese Europäische Norm stellt Sicherheitsanforderungen für Form-, Füll- und Verschließmaschinen und die
speziell mit ihnen verbundenen Füllmaschinen auf. Diese Gruppe von Maschinen wird im Einzelnen in
Abschnitt 3 dieser Norm definiert und mit Schemazeichnungen versehen, die Beispiele der Arbeitsprinzipien
jeder Maschinenart aufzeigen. Kurzgefasst erstreckt sich diese Norm auf folgende Maschinengruppen:
⎯ Horizontal-Form-, Füll- und Verschließmaschinen
⎯ Vertikal-Form-, Füll- und Verschließmaschinen
⎯ Aufricht-, Füll und Verschließmaschinen für vorgefertigte Beutel
⎯ Form-, Füll- und Verschließmaschinen für dornradgeformte flexible Packungen oder Faltschachteln
⎯ Faltschachtel-Aufricht-, Füll- und Verschließmaschinen
⎯ Tiefzieh-Form-, Füll- und Verschließmaschinen
Füllmaschinen, die gewöhnlich mit Form-, Füll- und Verschließmaschinen verbunden sind:
⎯ Schnecken-Füllmaschinen
⎯ Messbecher-Füllmaschine
⎯ Kolben-Füllmaschinen
⎯ Zähl-Füllmaschinen
⎯ Wäge-Füllmaschinen
Diese Norm erstreckt sich auf die Sicherheitsanforderungen für Entwurf, Konstruktion, Montage, Inbetriebnahme,
Betrieb, Einstellung, Wartung und Reinigung der Maschinen. Dieser Teil der prEN 415 gilt in erster
Linie für Maschinen, die nach dem Erscheinungsdatum dieser Norm hergestellt werden.
Diese Norm enthält keine detaillierten Angaben zu den Sicherheits- oder Hygienegefährdungen, die von den
auf Form-, Füll- und Verschließmaschinen verarbeiteten Produkten ausgehen können, wohl aber dazu einige
grundsätzliche Hinweise.
Diese Norm erstreckt sich nicht auf Thermoform-Maschinen. Sie werden in der prEN 12409 behandelt. Diese
Norm gilt auch nicht für Blasform-, Füll- und Verschließmaschinen. Die wichtigsten Gefährdungen und
Sicherheitsanforderungen für diese Maschinen werden in der EN 422 beschrieben.
!Diese Norm ist nicht anwendbar auf Form-, Füll- und Verschließmaschinen, die vor Veröffentlichung dieser
geänderten Fassung des Dokuments EN 415-3:1999 hergestellt wurden."

Ta standard zajema varnostne zahteve za načrtovanje, izgradnjo, namestitvijo, začetek obratovanja, delovanje, prilagajanje, vzdrževanje in čiščenje naprave. Ta del EN 415 velja predvsem za naprave, izdelane po datumu izdaje tega standarda. Ta standard ne zajema podrobno varnostne ali higienske nevarnosti v povezavi s proizvodi, ki se obdelujejo v oblikovalnih, polnilnih in zapiralnih napravah, ampak vsebuje splošne nasvete. Ta standard ne zajema naprav za toplotno oblikovanje. Te naprave so zajete v prEN 12409. Ta standard ne zajema naprav za oblikovanje s pihanjem, polnjenje in zapiranje. Glavne nevarnosti in varnostne zahteve za te naprave so opisane v EN 422.

EN 415-3:1999+A1:2009 (E) 5 Introduction Form, fill and seal machines are used extensively in Europe, in an increasingly wide range of industries. They contain many hazards and have the potential to cause serious injury. The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope and clause 4 of this standard. In addition, machines should comply as appropriate with EN 292-1 and EN 292-2 for hazards which are not covered by this standard. !This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are covered are indicated in the scope of this document. 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 establishes safety requirements for form, fill and seal packaging machines and the filling machines which are particularly associated with them. This group of machines is defined in detail in clause 3 of this standard, with diagrams illustrating examples of the principle of operation of each machine type.
However briefly, this standard covers the following broad groups of machines: horizontal form, fill and seal machines; vertical form, fill and seal machines; pre-made bag erect fill and seal machines; mandrel flexible package or carton form, fill and seal machines; carton erect, fill and close machines; thermoform, fill and seal machines. Filling machines commonly fitted to form, fill and seal machines including: auger fillers; volumetric cup fillers; volumetric piston fillers; counters; gravimetric fillers (weighers). This standard covers the safety requirements for machine design, construction, installation, commissioning, operation, adjustment, maintenance and cleaning.
This part of EN 415 applies primarily to machines manufactured after the date of issue of this standard. SIST EN 415-3:2001+A1:2010

These machines are covered in prEN 12409. This standard does not cover blow mould, fill and seal machines.
The main hazards and safety requirements for these machines are described in EN 422. !This document is not applicable to form, fill and seal machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN 415-3:1999 as amended." 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
