5.1 General
#Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause.
In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100 for relevant but not
significant hazards which are not dealt with by this document.
For hazards which are to be reduced by the application of a type B-standard such as EN 294, EN ISO 13850,
EN 547, EN 60204-1 etc., the manufacturer shall carry out a risk assessment to establish the requirements of
the B-standards which are to be applied.$

EN 931:1997+A2:2009 (E)
5.2 Common requirements for all lasting machines
5.2.1 Mechanical equipment
5.2.1.1 With exception of the lasting area, the dangerous motions of drives and moving machinery parts
shall be safeguarded by fixed enclosing guards or fencing #that satisfy EN 953$.
Fencing shall be positioned in accordance with the distances given in tables 1, 3 or 4 of EN 294:1992.
5.2.1.2 Fixed enclosing guards and fencing shall be designed in such a manner that a tool is required for
fixing or removal #, in accordance with 3.2, 3.9 and 3.10 of EN 953:1997.$
#deleted text$
#Fixing systems of fixed guards and fixed covers shall remain attached to these parts or to the machine
when the parts are removed.$
5.2.2 Electrical equipment
5.2.2.1 Electrical systems and equipment shall be in accordance with #EN 60204-1$ and
#EN 60947-5-1$.
5.2.2.2 The operator controls and electrical controls which require adjustment for changing the working
process shall be located on the outside of the switch cabinets.
5.2.3 Noise
!The methodology for low-noise design given in EN ISO 11688-1 shall be followed. Possible noise
reduction measures at the design stage are:"
a) Reduction of vibration through the static and dynamic balancing of rotating parts;
b) Reduction of vibration within the machine by reducing both the mass of moving parts and their
acceleration;
c) Proper choice and design of transmission components (gears, pulleys, belts, bearings and so on);
d) Design of the machine structures taking into consideration vibration damping and avoidance of structural
resonance;
e) Fitting pneumatic silencers, vibration damping of hydraulic circuits;
This list of technical measures for noise reduction at the source is informative only and not meant to be
complete.
These measures are recommended but not compulsory. Alternative measures with identical or higher efficacy
can be used.
!NOTE EN ISO 11688-2 gives useful information on noise generation mechanisms in machinery.
The criterion for assessing the efficiency of these measures is the actual noise emission values from the
machines of the same family and not the nature of the reduction measures themselves."

5.2.4 Material and substances emission
Lasting machines using thermocement shall have protection in the form of a thermal fuse or back-up
thermostat to ensure that thermocement temperature does not exceed 250˚ C to prevent excessive fumes due
to overheating.
5.2.5 Thermal protection
5.2.5.1 Hot surfaces which are not directly required for the working process and to which exposed persons
have access shall be safeguarded against accidental contact to prevent burn injury. This can be met by
covering the hot surfaces with insulating material or additional covers so that the temperature does not exceed
the minimum temperature of burn threshold indicated in #EN ISO 13732-1$.
Insulation materials shall not contain asbestos.
5.2.5.2 Lasting machines which use hot thermocement adhesive shall be provided with means to minimise
the risk of injury by ejection of hot adhesive. This shall be achieved by careful consideration of injector design,
pressure control, temperature control, physical guards, thermal fuses and back-up thermostats. At the time of
writing this standard it was recognised that it is not possible to completely eliminate the risk of injury.
5.2.6 Functional disorders
5.2.6.1 To prevent high pressure ejection of fluid or ejection of a burst part hydraulic and pneumatic
systems shall satisfy #4.10 of EN ISO 12100-2:2003, EN 982 and EN 983.$
5.2.6.2 Devices shall be fitted in accordance with #EN 1037$ which prevent uncontrolled dangerous
movements caused by irregularities, failure or unexpected reconnection of the power supply or when the
control circuit has been switched off.
5.2.6.3 Unless otherwise indicated in 5.3 safety related parts of the machine control system:
Shall have at least the same level of safety as the safeguarding used,
And
#Shall as a minimum comply with performance level "c" as defined in EN ISO 13849-1 and Annex B$
The use of a programmable electronic systems (PES) shall not reduce any level of safety laid down in this
standard. When a machine is fitted with a programmable electronic system, safety related functions shall not
rely solely on it. This requirement is met, by the use of:
An additional hardwired control system,
Or
Other provisions for redundancy.
5.2.7 Ergonomics
#The design shall be in accordance with the requirements of EN 547-1,
EN 547-2, EN 894-1, EN 1005-2 and EN 1005-3.$

5.3 Requirements for specific machines
5.3.1 Forepart lasting machine
5.3.1.1 Zone 1
At the time of drafting this standard it was not considered practicable to provide physical safeguards for
the mechanical hazards in this danger zone. Therefore, the manufacturer shall provide adequate
information with the machine concerning the correct operation of the pincers.
#A stop and release control device in accordance with Annex A and EN ISO 13850 shall be designed
and arranged in such a manner that it can be actuated by treadle and/or knee. The related parts of the
control system shall comply with performance level "c" as defined in EN ISO 13849-1 and Annex B.$
5.3.1.2 Zone 2
#A stop and release control device in accordance with Annex A and EN ISO 13850 shall be designed
and arranged in such a manner that it can be actuated by treadle and/or knee. The related parts of the
control system shall comply with performance level "c" as defined in EN ISO 13849-1 and with Annex
B.$
5.3.1.3 Zone 3
When the heel meets an obstacle with a closing force exceeding 250 N it shall stop automatically and
shall cease to apply force.
#A stop and release control device in accordance with Annex A and EN ISO 13850 shall be designed
and arranged in such a manner that it can be actuated by treadle and/or knee. The related parts of the
control system shall comply with performance level "c" as defined in EN ISO 13849-1 and with Annex
B.$
5.3.2 Seat lasting, seat and side lasting machine
5.3.2.1 Zone 1
# A stop and release control device in accordance with Annex A and EN ISO 13850 shall be designed
and arranged in such a manner that it can be actuated by treadle and/or knee. Only for heel seat lasting
machines, this device can be replaced with push buttons on both sides. The related parts of the control
system shall comply with performance level "c" as defined in
EN ISO 13849-1 and with Annex B.$
The closing force arising between the sensor foot and jack post shall not exceed 250 N until the gap
between the sensor foot and the last is less than 8 mm.
5.3.2.2 Zone 2
At the time of drafting of this standard it was not considered practicable to provide physical safeguards
against the hazards in this danger zone. Therefore the manufacturer shall provide the user with adequate
information concerning safe use.
# A stop and release control device in accordance with Annex A and EN ISO 13850 shall be designed
and arranged in such a manner that it can be actuated by treadle and/or knee. Only for heel seat lasting
machines, this device can be replaced with push buttons on both sides. The related parts of the control
system shall comply with performance level "c" as defined in
EN ISO 13849-1 and with Annex B.$
