Figure 1 – Example of wood chipper and reference plane 4 Safety requirements and/or measures 4.1 General Machines 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 hazards relevant but not significant, which are not dealt with by this document (e.g. sharp edges).
Unless otherwise specified in this document all opening and safety distances shall comply with Tables 1, 3, 4 and 6 of EN 294:1992 and other aspects shall comply with the relevant parts of EN ISO 12100. 4.2 Operator controls 4.2.1 General All machines shall have separate controls for starting/stopping the chipping components and for starting/stopping the infeed action meeting the requirements given below in 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.4. The safety and reliability of control system shall meet the requirements given in 4.2.5. Controls for stopping the chipping components shall also stop the infeed action. 4.2.2 Starting the machine 4.2.2.1 Where the machine is powered by an external power source, e.g. a tractor power take-off or a hydraulic system, the tractor power-take-off start control or hydraulic system control is regarded as the operator's control for starting the chipping components, infeed components and integral conveyors (where fitted).



EN 13525:2005+A1:2007 (E) 10 4.2.2.2 Where the machine is powered by an integral power source, e.g. an internal combustion engine or an electric motor, the engine or motor start is regarded as the operator's control for starting the chipping components, infeed components and integral conveyors (where fitted). 4.2.2.3 Where an electric starter is used to start the integral power source, unauthorised activation of the starter shall be avoided by using one or more of the following methods:  a key operated ignition or starting switch;  a lockable cover for the ignition or starting switch;  a security ignition or starting lock;  a lockable battery disconnection switch. 4.2.3 Stopping the machine 4.2.3.1 Where the machine is powered by an external power source, e.g. tractor power take-off or hydraulic system, the external power source stopping controls such as the tractors engine stop control, the tractor power take-off control or hydraulic system control are regarded as the operator's control for stopping the machine. 4.2.3.2 Where the machine is powered by an integral power source, e.g. an internal combustion engine or electric motor, the engine or motor stop is regarded as the operator's control for stopping the machine. 4.2.3.3 Where integral power source is an internal combustion engine, the engine stop control shall not require sustained manual pressure for its operation and when once actuated it shall not be possible to restart the engine unless the control has been reset. 4.2.4 Infeed stop control 4.2.4.1 General All machines shall have an infeed stop control. The design, position and function of the infeed stop control shall allow the operator when in the designated operating position, if entangled in the wood being fed into the machine, to stop the infeed action. The operator shall be able to engage the infeed stop control, in the direction of infeed, by using parts of the body other than just the hands (e.g. shoulder, elbow, torso, hip, legs etc.). To achieve this, it shall meet the positional requirements given in 4.2.4.2 and functional requirements in 4.2.4.3. Whilst these requirements shall be fulfilled, the design, position and function of the infeed stop control shall seek to minimise inadvertent activation (nuisance tripping) by wood and branches as they are fed into the machine; and opportunities for the operator to remove, disconnect, disable, defeat, or jam the control. 4.2.4.2 Positional requirements 4.2.4.2.1 The infeed stop control shall be located in accordance with either 4.2.4.2.2, see Figure 2 or 4.2.4.2.3, see Figure 3, as appropriate to the height of the outermost lower edge of the infeed chute. At the infeed chute vertical edges, the infeed stop control shall cover a minimum of 0,75 x h. At the relevant horizontal edge, top or bottom, the infeed stop control shall cover the entire width of the edge. 4.2.4.2.2 For type A machines, the infeed stop control shall be located at the sides and at the lower edge of the chute, see Figure 2.

Key h Height of the chute side Figure 2 – Location and coverage of the infeed stop control on type A machines 4.2.4.2.3 For type B machines, the infeed stop control shall be located at the sides and at the upper edge of the chute, see Figure 3. Dimensions in millimetres
Key h Height of the chute side Figure 3 – Location and coverage of the infeed stop control on type B machines 4.2.4.2.4 In either location, the position of the infeed stop control in relation to the outermost edge of the infeed chute shall be in accordance with the appropriate Figure 4 or Figure 5 such that:  all positions of the infeed stop control that allow or cause infeed action are in front of the outermost edge of the infeed chute, i.e. zone B;  from those positions, the infeed stop control shall be able to be moved to a position known as the ‘emergency stop position’, i.e. position C; and  this emergency stop position is in the position closest to the outermost edge of infeed chute but sufficiently in front of that edge for the emergency stop position to be successfully engaged, i.e. the respective operation completed, by the operator in the manner described in 4.2.4.1 in the event of entanglement. 4.2.4.2.5 The positions/functions of the infeed stop control shall be clearly indicated on both sides of the infeed chute and also in the instruction handbook. The colour of the infeed stop control shall be preferably red or yellow. Where other colours are used, they shall be bright and in contrast to the background colour of the infeed chute.



EN 13525:2005+A1:2007 (E) 12 4.2.4.2.6 In the case of machines with an integrated feed conveyor, the infeed stop control shall meet the requirements of 4.2.4.2.4. Instead of meeting the location requirements of 4.2.4.2.1 the infeed stop controls shall be provided at the sides and at the outer end of the conveyor. Any reverse action of the conveyor shall have a hold-to-run control located within reach of the operator but outside of reach to the danger zones and in a position providing good visibility of the conveyor and the infeed components.

Type B machines shall also meet the requirements of 4.2.4.3.7. Where the infeed stop control incorporates other functions for controlling the infeed components, they shall meet the appropriate requirements of 4.2.4.3.8 to 4.2.4.3.10. 4.2.4.3.2 Actuation of any part of the infeed stop control shall have the same functional result. 4.2.4.3.3 Movement of the infeed stop control from zone B to position C, as defined in 4.2.4.2.4, shall stop infeed action. Actuation to the emergency stop position shall have priority over any other controls used to operate the infeed components as defined in 4.2.4.3.6. 4.2.4.3.4 The force required to actuate the infeed stop control from zone B to position C (see Figures 4 and 5) shall not exceed 150 N on the horizontal part of the infeed stop control (including those provided on machines with an integrated feed conveyor) and 200 N on other parts along the length 0,75 x h as specified in 4.2.4.2.1. The force required shall be measured in a horizontal direction ±15°, or in the case of a pivoting infeed stop control, in the tangential direction of its movement.

The operator shall only be able to restart infeed action by deliberate actuation of a separate control provided for this purpose. 4.2.4.3.7 In addition to meeting the requirements of 4.2.4.3.2 to 4.2.4.3.6, for type B machines the infeed stop control shall stop or reverse infeed action when pulled to its outermost position against the direction of feed, i.e. to position H. 4.2.4.3.8 Where the infeed stop control incorporates a control position for reversing the infeed action, the operation of that function shall be hold-to-run if it is behind the outermost edge of the infeed chute, i.e. at position E, see Figure 4 or Figure 5 as appropriate. Position E shall be as close as possible to the outermost chute edge of the infeed chute. 4.2.4.3.9 For type A machines, in respect of the infeed direction from the operator to the outermost edge, all positions of the infeed stop control in zone B, which allow or cause infeed action, shall be before any position which
