Overview
SIST EN 693:2001/kprA1:2008 is a European standard amendment focused on machine tool safety, specifically targeting hydraulic presses used in industrial settings. Developed under the auspices of CEN Technical Committee CEN/TC 143, this amendment updates safety requirements ensuring compliance with relevant EU machinery directives. The document provides essential modifications to the original EN 693:2001 standard, addressing noise emission declarations, manufacturer documentation, and conformity with EU regulations.
This standard plays a crucial role in harmonizing safety practices across member states of the European Union, guaranteeing that hydraulic presses meet minimum safety and environmental requirements. It also supports manufacturers by clarifying updated obligations regarding noise data and manufacturer identification on machinery.
Key Topics
Noise Emission Requirements
SIST EN 693:2001/kprA1:2008 introduces changes to noise emission declarations in hydraulic presses. It references EN ISO 4871:1996 for the declaration and verification of machinery noise levels and mandates reporting sound power where noise exceeds 80 dB(A). Noise data must be included not only in technical documentation but also in sales literature to inform users of potential acoustic impacts.Manufacturer Identification and Documentation
Enhancements to manufacturer information in marking and documentation now include:- Full name and address of the manufacturer and authorized representative
- Precise designation of machinery series or type
Such details improve traceability and accountability in safety compliance.
Conformity with EU Directives
The amendment solidifies the link between EN 693 and key EU legislation:- Directive 98/37/EC (amended by 98/79/EC) on machinery safety
- Directive 2006/42/EC on machinery
Compliance with the standard presumes conformity with essential health and safety requirements under these directives, facilitating market access.
Applications
Industrial Hydraulic Presses
The standard applies to hydraulic presses used in forging, stamping, and metal forming industries. It ensures that these machines are designed and operated within safe parameters to protect operators and maintenance personnel from hazards.Machine Safety Audits and Certification
Manufacturers and testing bodies use SIST EN 693:2001/kprA1:2008 to assess machinery safety, particularly when updating designs or verifying noise emissions. Compliance supports CE marking and demonstrates adherence to EU safety mandates.Procurement and Specification
Organizations sourcing hydraulic presses rely on this standard to specify safety features, noise limits, and manufacturer data documentation that meet recognized European safety requirements.
