EN 14958:2006 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is a C type standard as stated in EN ISO 12100. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are covered are indicated in the scope of this European Standard. 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. Complementary to the hygiene requirements common to all food processing machines, specific requirements for cleanability and sanitation of the machines in the scope are formulated.

EN 14958:2006 (E) 14 5 Safety requirements and/or measures 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 European Standard. For hazards which are to be reduced by the application of the type B standards such as EN 294, EN 349, EN 418, EN 614-1, EN 811, EN 953, EN 1088, EN 1672-2 and EN 13284-1 the manufacturer shall carry out a risk assessment to establish the requirements of the type B-standard. This specific risk assessment shall be part of the general risk assessment of the machine. 5.2 Mechanical hazards 5.2.1 General The following safety requirements for the prevention of mechanical hazards apply:  fixed guards shall comply with EN 953; NOTE
In general movable guards are not considered for the machines in the scope because of the nature of the process.  if the manufacturer adopts as an alternative a movable interlocking guard, this guard shall comply with EN 953 and 1088. In that case the possible need for interlocking with guard locking shall be defined on the basis of the risk assessment;  safety distances shall be in conformity with EN 294, EN 349 and EN 811. If the access to danger zones at product inlet and/or outlet openings has to be prevented by connection to the machine of auxiliary equipment or other machinery, the information for use shall include the necessary instructions for correct connection. 5.2.2 Roller mill (see Figure 6) 5.2.2.1 Zone 1: feeding rolls Access shall be prevented by fixed guard(s). 5.2.2.2 Zone 2: grinding rolls Access during the normal operation shall be made impossible by means of fixed guard(s). If access to this zone is necessary during normal operation, for example for verifying the product, such access shall only be possible at the out-feed side of the rolls, and an internal fixed guard shall be installed which prevent access to the danger points in accordance with EN 294 (Tables 3 or 4). In that case the external door giving access can be movable without interlocking. 5.2.2.3 Zone 3: roll drive arrangement The access to the roll drive arrangement (or the part of it) located on the same floor as the equipment shall be prevented by fixed enclosing guards. The access to the part of the roll drive arrangement situated below that floor shall also be prevented by fixed enclosing guards unless for danger zones located at more than 2,7 m from the lower floor (see EN 294:1992, 4.1.1).



EN 14958:2006 (E) 15 5.2.2.4 Zone 4: pneumatic pistons Access to the danger zones of pneumatic pistons of roll engaging or disengaging device shall be prevented by fixed enclosing guards. 5.2.2.5 Zone 5: grinding rolls transmission drive Access to the grinding rolls transmission drive (belt, gear or chain) shall be prevented by fixed guards. 5.2.2.6 Zone 6: feeding rolls transmission drive Access shall be prevented by fixed guard. 5.2.2.7 Zone 7: scraper Access shall be prevented by fixed guard. 5.2.3 Plan sifter (see Figure 7) 5.2.3.1 Zone 1: belt transmission drive Access shall be prevented by fixed guard. 5.2.3.2 Zone 2: centrifugal weights Access shall be prevented by fixed guard. 5.2.3.3 Zone 8: loss of stability In order to avoid possible hazard of instability:  the machine shall be laid out so that the period of starting phase be limited as much as possible;  the design of the control system shall prevent a new start before the machine has stopped completely;  detectors are mounted on the machine that detect the sliding or gliding off of the machine and give a stop instruction to the machine if the amplitude of the movement exceeds the normal limit. If the machine is intended for an area with increased earthquake risk it is recommended that it shall be equipped with security ropes capable of keeping the plan sifter stable for at least six times the static load. 5.2.4 Air classifier (purifier) (see Figure 8) 5.2.4.1 Zone 1: vibrating drive The access to the moving parts shall be made impossible by means of fixed guard. The design of the control system shall prevent a new start before the machine has stopped completely. 5.2.4.2 Zone 8: loss of stability The machine shall be laid out so that the period of starting phase is limited as much as possible.



EN 14958:2006 (E) 16 5.2.5 Aspirator (see Figure 9) 5.2.5.1 Zone 1: rotor The rotor shall be completely enclosed inside the housing. Access openings shall be closed by fixed guards. 5.2.5.2 Zone 2: rotor drive transmission The access shall be prevented by fixed guard. 5.2.5.3 Zone 3: screw The screw shall be completely enclosed inside the housing. Access openings shall be closed by fixed guards. 5.2.5.4 Zone 4: vibrating drive The access shall be prevented by fixed guard. 5.2.6 Rotating machine (see Figure 10) 5.2.6.1 Zone 1: rotor Where no access is required access to the rotor shall be prevented by means of fixed guard. Where access is required a door without interlocking can be used assuming that the sieve cover acts as a fixed guard with openings in compliance with EN 294:1992, Table 4. 5.2.6.2 Zone 2: rotor drive belt transmission Access shall be prevented by fixed guard. 5.2.7 Impact machines 5.2.7.1 Impactor (see Figure 11) 5.2.7.1.1 Zone 1: rotor The rotor shall be completely enclosed inside the housing. 5.2.7.1.2 Zone 2: rotor drive belt transmission The access shall be prevented by fixed guard. 5.2.7.2 Infestation destroyer (see Figure 12) 5.2.7.2.1 Zone 1: rotor The rotor shall be completely enclosed inside the housing. 5.2.7.2.2 Zone 2: rotor drive belt transmission The access shall be prevented by fixed guard.

If necessary the manufacturer shall also formulate instructions for the integration of the machine in an installation in accordance with EN 1127-1:1997, 6.4.7. 5.3.6 Safety requirements related to electromagnetic phenomena The machines shall have sufficient immunity to electromagnetic disturbances to enable them to operate safely as intended and not fail to danger when exposed to the levels and types of disturbances intended by the manufacturer. The manufacturer of the machines shall design, install and wire the equipment and sub-assemblies taking into account the recommendations of the suppliers of these sub-assemblies. 5.4 Noise reduction Noise reduction shall be an integral part of the design process thus specifically taking into account measures at source as given in EN ISO 11688-1. The success of the applied noise reduction measures is assessed on the basis of the actual noise emission values (see Annex B) in relation to other machines of the same family. The major sound sources are: motors and moving parts. A noise emission declaration shall be given according to Annex B. 5.5 Protection against dust emission Dust emission shall be minimized. For the machinery, this shall be achieved by one or both of the following methods:  enclosed design/construction;  an interface for connection to an aspiration system. 5.6 Ergonomic requirements The design of the machine shall comply with EN 614-1. In particular correct positions of the body during cleaning and maintenance of the machinery shall be ensured, as well as during the replacement of parts. The manufacturer shall define procedures for the handling of heavy machine parts. For machine parts with a mass of more than 25 kg that have to be transported, the manufacturer shall define appropriate methods allowing the use of normal lifting gear or handling equipment, or shall supply the necessary handling equipment.
