La norme SIST EN 12268:2015, intitulée "Machines de transformation des aliments - Machines à scie à bande - Exigences de sécurité et d'hygiène", établit des exigences cruciales pour la conception et la fabrication des machines à scie à bande dédiées à la découpe de divers produits alimentaires. Son champ d’application est clairement défini, excluant les machines destinées à la transformation du bois et celles à usage domestique, ce qui permet de concentrer les efforts sur des équipements professionnels imparables pour l’industrie alimentaire. Une des forces majeures de cette norme est qu'elle aborde de manière exhaustive toutes les dangers significatifs associés à l’utilisation de ces machines. En considérant toutes les phases de la vie de l’appareil, de son transport à son démantèlement, elle garantit que les fabricants prennent en compte non seulement les risques lors de l'utilisation normale, mais aussi lors de conditions d'utilisation imprévues. Cela apporte une grande valeur ajoutée à la sécurité des opérateurs et à l'hygiène dans les environnements de traitement des aliments. En ce qui concerne sa pertinence, cette norme joue un rôle essentiel dans l'assurance de la conformité des machines aux exigences réglementaires de sécurité et d'hygiène, ce qui est crucial pour maintenir des standards élevés dans le secteur alimentaire. Le fait qu'elle couvre plusieurs types de machines à scie à bande – des modèles de table aux machines de type sol avec des spécifications techniques variées – montre son adaptabilité aux différents besoins des professionnels du secteur. La clarté du document, avec des descriptions détaillées et des illustrations des types de machines, facilite sa compréhension et son application par les fabricants et les utilisateurs finaux. La norme SIST EN 12268:2015 se positionne donc comme un document fondamental, contribuant de manière significative à la sécurité, à l’efficacité et à la qualité dans la transformation des aliments, tout en répondant aux enjeux contemporains de fiabilité et de sécurité alimentaire.
The SIST EN 12268:2015 standard provides a comprehensive framework for the safety and hygiene requirements specifically for band saw machines used in food processing.
