1.1 This standard contains the requirements for the design and installation of glass presses including equipment for feeding of portions of molten glass to the mould, loading equipment and equipment for discharging articles (take-out) when these are integral parts of the presses.
1.2 !This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to glass presses when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).

SIST EN 13042-5:2004+A1:2009 is the Slovenian adoption of EN 13042-5:2003+A1:2009 from CEN. It specifies safety requirements for the design and installation of glass presses used in the manufacture, treatment and processing of hollow glass. The standard is written for manufacturers, installers and users who need to control hazards during commissioning, operation, setting and maintenance.
What does SIST EN 13042-5:2004+A1:2009 specify?
SIST EN 13042-5:2004+A1:2009 specifies machine-specific safety measures for glass presses, including integral feeding, loading and take-out equipment. It is a type-C standard, so it focuses on the hazards of this machine family and the safeguards needed in real use.
The scope limits the document to glass presses and their integral equipment. It excludes press/blow forming machines where pressing is only one part of the hot-forming process, self-standing gob feeders and handling machines for feeding, presses made before CEN published the document, and cooling or waste-ejection equipment with air or external heating systems.

The document is organized into introduction, scope, normative references, terms and definitions, list of significant hazards, safety requirements and/or protective measures, verification, and information for use.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 13042-5:2004+A1:2009?
SIST EN 13042-5:2004+A1:2009 combines guarding, control-system design, stopping performance, and user information to reduce the main risks from presses. The practical message is that the machine must stay safe not only in automatic production, but also during setting, mold change and maintenance.
Hazards and risk assessment
Clause 4 lists the main hazards: crushing, drawing-in, entanglement, electrical shock, burns, fire, ergonomic strain, unexpected start-up, stopping failures and slipping. Before using the standard, the manufacturer is expected to carry out a general risk assessment for the actual machine and its intended use.
Guarding and physical layout
Clause 5.1 addresses crushing hazards around moving mould parts, rotating or sliding tables, loading equipment and take-out devices. The document uses fixed gaps, fixed or interlocking guards, smooth table surfaces, fixed covers and trip devices to keep hands and arms away from danger zones.
Control system and stopping
Clauses 5.5 to 5.12 require a lockable energy disconnecting device, emergency-stop equipment, stop-control devices near the machine and a control system that avoids unexpected start-up after power returns. The emergency-stop arrangement must be positioned where operators actually work, including manual controls, the press station, mould-change areas and the main control panel.
Setting and mode changes
Clause 5.13 requires manual control for setting operations to use a hold-to-run device, with movements of the plunger and ring limited to a safe low speed. This matters because setting and job change are the times when people are closest to the tooling and the risk of crushing is highest.
Hydraulics, pneumatics and gravity
Clauses 5.2 to 5.4, 5.16 and 5.17 deal with hot water, hydraulic liquid, electrical and hose routing, and unintended downward movement caused by leaks or gravity. The machine must protect people from steam, hot water discharge, oil spread, heat damage to cables and hoses, and sudden drops of moving assemblies.
Noise, handling and user information
Clauses 5.19 and 5.20 address lifting aids for mould change and noise control. The document also requires noise declaration, low-noise design measures and specific information in the instruction handbook, so the user knows what to measure, what to warn about and how to work safely.
What terms does SIST EN 13042-5:2004+A1:2009 define?
SIST EN 13042-5:2004+A1:2009 defines the main machine and operating terms used throughout the safety requirements.
- Glass presses - machines that shape molten glass by pressure in a mould set as the mould parts close linearly.
- Mould set - the configuration made up of the plunger, ring and lower mould.
- Mould change - replacement of a mould set or its parts by identical ones to keep production running.
- Job change - replacement of a mould set to produce a different product.
- Setting operations - work needed for mould change or job change.
- Start-up delay - the time from the first start signal in automatic mode to the first movement of the automatic cycle.
- Cycle-single control mode - a mode where each working cycle is manually initiated and then stops automatically at the end of the cycle.
- Automatic control mode - a mode where cycles repeat automatically after a manual start until a stop signal is given.
Who uses SIST EN 13042-5:2004+A1:2009?
SIST EN 13042-5:2004+A1:2009 is used by glass-press manufacturers, machine integrators, safety engineers, maintenance teams and plant operators in hollow-glass production. Buyers and quality managers use it when specifying press safety features, checking guarding and control systems, and reviewing instructions and marking. It is also relevant during commissioning, setting, job change and maintenance planning.
What changed in SIST EN 13042-5:2004+A1:2009 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 13042-5:2004+A1:2009 supersedes EN 13042-5:2003 and incorporates Amendment 1, approved by CEN on 5 June 2009. The text marks amended passages with tags. The foreword also states that the standard supports the essential requirements of EU Directive 98/37/EC and EU Directive 2006/42/EC through Annexes ZA and ZB.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 13042-5:2004+A1:2009?
SIST EN 13042-5:2004+A1:2009 relies on several cross-cutting safety and measurement standards:

There are hazards at other times, e.g. movements initiated by personnel or failure of the controls during setting.
Safety requirements laid down in this standard relative to the movements of mould parts therefore deal especially with the manual control of glass presses for setting operations as defined in 3.7. When compiling this standard, it was assumed that: movements of mould parts (plunger and ring) in hydraulically and pneumatically operated presses result from the movements of the rod or of the cylinder; harmful materials such as asbestos and toxic substances are not used; noise generated by the glass press is itself not a significant hazard, but noise by air-cooling of hot articles and the mould and by pneumatic waste ejection with air from an outside system may cause the necessity of wearing ear protection by the operator. glass presses are not intended to be used in potentially explosive atmospheres. 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 1.1 This standard contains the requirements for the design and installation of glass presses including equipment for feeding of portions of molten glass to the mould, loading equipment and equipment for discharging articles (take-out) when these are integral parts of the presses. 1.2 !This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to glass presses when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards during commissioning, operation and maintenance." 1.3 This standard does not deal with forming machines for hollow glass where the press operation is only a part of the hot-forming process, such as the press/blow process of IS machines (see !EN 13042-3"). 1.4 This standard does not deal with gob feeders (see !EN 13042-1") and handling machines for feeding (see !EN 13042-2") which are self-standing machines and dealt with in other standards of the series regarding machinery used in the production of hollow glass. 1.5 This document is not applicable to presses which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN. 1.6 This standard deals only with hazards arising from the application of components which may be used in glass presses, such as motors and continuous handling equipment.
