CEN/TC 214/WG 3 - Safety requirements for industrial laundering machinery

Covers, together with ISO 10472-1, most significant hazards associated with flatwork ironers, feeders and folders, such as: - cylinder and bed ironers for flatwork finishing having a contact area (for bed ironers under pressure) 0,25 m; - flatwork feeding machines for the automatic feeding of flatwork into bed or cylinder ironers, or directly to folders; - flatwork folding machines for the automatic folding of flatwork in association with cylinder and bed ironers; - folding machines for the automatic folding of small pieces (excluding endless towels); - multi-function machines. This part of the standard complements the basic requirements as laid down in ISO/TR 12100-1and ISO/TR 12100-2. It also gives guidance to the designer on assessing the risks associated with the hazards (see EN 1050) and on selecting measures for attaining the required safety level. This aprt does not apply to ancillary equipment, e.g. chemical supply pumps, steam valves and supply pipe work, vent systems, work feed systems and discharge systems and ducting to the atmosphere.

The document covers, together with part 1, all  significant hazards connected with ironing and fusing  presses used in the laundry, garment and dry cleaning  industry.

Covers, together with ISO 10472-1, most significant hazards associated with washing tunnel lines including component machines such as: - continuous tunnel washing machines; - squeeze presses or centrifugal extraction machines; - transfer conveyor systems; - automatic transfer tumblers; - loading or unloading system interfaces; - access platform and ladders.

Identify all significant hazards associated with laundry machinery designed for use in industrial laundry premises, which includes hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, prisons and similar premises, as well as machines designed for use in self-service estabilshments subject to the minimum capacities stated in the separate parts of ISO 10472. Dry-cleaning presses and garment presses are also included.

Covers together with ISO 10472-1, most significant hazards associated with washing machines and washer-extractors of all configurations having a net usable cage volume 60 l. This part does not cover particular hazards for drawer-type washer extractors. This part does not cover the hazards caused by processing work which may create an explosive or flammable atmosphere inside the machine. This part complements the basic requirements as laid down in ISO/TR 12100-1 and ISO/TR 12100-2. It also gives guidance to the designer on assessing the risks associated with the hazards (see EN 1050) and on selecting measures for attaining the required safety level.

Covers, together with ISO 10472-1, most significant hazards associated with air dryers, and in particular with tumble dryers having a net usable cage volume >160 l and tunnel finishers including associated conveyors and cabinet dryers. This part of the standard complements the basic requirements as laid down in ISO/TR 12100-1 and ISO/TR 1210-2. It also gives guidance to the designer on assessing the risks associated with the hazards (see EN 1050) and on selecting measures for attaining the required safety level. This part of the standard does not apply to ancillary equipment.
