The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situation and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this type C document are different from those, which are stated in type A or B documents, the
provisions of this type C document take precedence over the provisions of the other documents, for machines that

This document specifies the additional requirements to and/or the deviations from EN 12629-1:2000 specific for the
stationary and mobile equipment for long-line manufacture of pre-stressed products as defined in Clause 3.
With the aim of clarifying the intentions of the document it should be noticed that the following assumptions were
made when producing it:
 specific conditions of use or environmental conditions out of the scope of the document shall be the subject of
negotiations between the manufacturer and the user/owner
 the equipment will only be used by competent and designated persons

EN 12629-6:2004 (E)
1 Scope
1.1 This document is intended to be used together with EN 12629-1 “Machines for the manufacture of
constructional products from concrete and calcium-silicate — Safety — Part 1: Common requirements", which
specifies general requirements of machines for the manufacture of constructional products from concrete and
calcium–silicate.
This document specifies the additional requirements to and/or the deviations from EN 12629-1 specific for the
stationary and mobile equipment for the manufacture of precast reinforced products as defined in Clause 3.
This document applies to these machines also when used for the manufacture of non-reinforced moulded products.
1.2 This document applies to the modules comprising production machines (with or without turnover demoulding)
for the manufacturing of reinforced moulded products as shown below and illustrated in informative Annexes A and
B.
NOTE This machinery can consist of three modules and they are generally designed to obtain a large moulding capacity
(middle length of the products from 3 to 4 meters), with a limit height of demoulding of 1 m and a maximum width of 1,50 m.
Module A: Manufacturing machines by vibration or compression and floating, with or without turnover.
Module B: Stocking/hardening unit.
Module C: Assembly for palletising/packaging of the concrete products. This module also permits the inspection
of the products.

These machines are designed to perform the following cyclic operations:
 manufacturing by vibration and even compression (oiling, mould feeding – concrete + reinforcement –,
vibration, floating, interlocking, turnover, removing from mould);
 storage of moulds and pallet boards for concrete hardening;
 products destacking and packaging;
 moulds and pallet boards return to the manufacturing module.
Any of these operations may be manual, semi-automatic or automatic.
This document deals with automatic and semi-automatic operations of modules A and C and with automatic
operations of module B.
There are two main types of stationary and mobile equipment for manufacture of precast reinforced products:
 equipment with instant removing from mould on pallet boards or on the floor;
 equipment with delayed removing from mould (collection of moulds: the concrete products are hardened in the
mould).
This standard does not deal with the machines for:
 mixing of concrete;
 manufacturing of the reinforcing steel;
 evacuation of the products to the stockyard;
5

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------

EN 12629-6:2004 (E)
 manufacturing of products (e. g. slabs or blocks) covered by other parts of EN 12629.
Annex A shows the most common types of units as well as their variations: immediate demoulding unit and delayed
demoulding unit.
1.3 This document is limited to the units comprising a fixed or movable manufacturing module with or without
rolling over of the mould, a module or storage area for storing/hardening of the products and a products
palletising/packaging module. It deals with the significant hazards pertinent to these machines, when used as
intended under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4), except noise hazards, which are partly
dealt with.
NOTE An amendment is under preparation to deal with noise, in particular for measures to reduce noise at source and a
noise test code including noise declaration.
This document specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant
hazards, particularly:
 following a malfunction during the automatic mode of operation;
 during manual or semi-automatic manufacturing processes;
 during end-of-shift cleaning procedures, adjustment and maintenance.
This document deals with the significant hazards generated by handling equipment for palletising and
stacking/destacking that are gantries. Complementary safety measures can be necessary if other type of handling
equipment is used.
1.4 This document is not applicable to stationary and mobile equipment for the manufacture of precast products,
which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.

4 List of hazards
This Clause contains all hazards, as far as they are dealt with in this document, identified by risk assessment as
significant for this type of machinery and which require action to eliminate or reduce risk.
The significant hazards and hazardous situations (based upon EN 1050) are given in Tables 1 to 4 each of which
relates to a particular designated type of machine. The tables show in which module and where the hazard might
be expected to occur.
Before using this standard it is important to carry out a risk assessment of the machine to check that it has the
hazards identified in this Clause
