1.3   Combinations of forming machines and auxiliary devices and/or interchangeable equipment
1.3.1   Definition
A combination of a forming machine with auxiliary devices and/or interchangeable equipment becomes a new machine, when the following requirements are fulfilled / met:
-   the (combined) device/equipment works together as an entity, meaning from production related view they form an entity (i.e. the coaction will be focused on a shared aim) and
-   they are controlled as an entity, via a shared or linked control system and
-   they work - regarding safety - together as an entity and also form a unit in this aspect.
According to this definition a new machine is not existent when in a total complex single autonomous functional machines are connected in relation to function and control, but do not form a unit in relation to safety. This is given e.g. when:
-   on the single interfaces / interconnection points none ore only minor hazards between the separate machines occur, due to their combination;
-   the emergency stop of one machine is connected / looped through to the next machine since the operator’s position is only at the next machine.
In such mechanical equipment each single machine can still be regarded autonomous in relation to safety.

This European Standard specifies requirements for the design and manufacture of portable and/or hand-guided machines and appliances equipped with electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically driven cutting tools (see Figures 1 to 9), hereinafter referred to as "machines".
The machines covered by this European Standard are used for slaughtering animals, for cutting up animal carcasses, poultry and other foodstuff such as e.g. fish.
They are mainly intended for use in slaughterhouses and rooms, which are used for cutting and preparing. These machines are used for the industry and trade.
This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to machines, appliances and machinery, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This European Standard deals with the hazards which can arise during commissioning, operation, maintenance and de-commissioning of the machine.
This European Standard is not applicable to portable and/or hand-guided machines and appliances equipped with electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically driven cutting tools, which are manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.
1.2   This European Standard covers the following machines subdivided into tool types:
1.2.1   Saws (see Figures 1 to 5)
   Circular saws (see Figures 1 and 2);
   straight blade reciprocating saws (see Figures 3 and 4);
   band saws (see Figure 5).
1.2.3   Knives (see Figures 8 and 9)
   Ring-blade circular knives;
   circular knives with simple or double blade;
   reciprocating knives with one or two straight blades;
   rotating knives.

1.1   This European Standard specifies safety and hygiene requirements to minimise the hazards which can arise during the commissioning, the use and the maintenance of mixing machines and their accessories intended to be used in sausage kitchens and industrial operations.
This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to mixing machines, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer ( see Clause 4).
This European standard is not applicable to mixing machines which are manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.
1.2   This European Standard covers the following types of mixing machines:
-   Mixing machines with a tilting container, one or several mixing shafts
-   Mixing machines with a stationary mixing container, front face or bottom discharge opening
-   Mixing machines with a container and loading device
-   Mixing machines with a container, mixing shaft(s), screw conveyor and loading device
The mixing machines are constructed of a machine frame, a trough-shaped mixing container, one or several mixing shafts, an associated drive and electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic components, depending on machine type.
The mixing shaft can be equipped with wings, screws, rods, paddles or the like.
Mixing machines may be equipped e. g. with
-   cover over the top of the mixing container,
-   pipe connections for gases, steam, water or vacuum,
-   protective hood over the front face discharge opening,
-   lifting devices for mixing shaft,
-   loading device,
-   screw conveyor at the discharge opening.

This Standard specifies requirements for design and construction of cutters. The machines covered by this standard are used to process fresh or frozen meat, meat products, fish and vegetables in a revolving bowl. This is performed by means of vertical blades rotating around a more or less horizontal axis. This standard does not apply to household cutters.

This European standard applies to the design and manufacturing of derinding, skinning and membrane removal machines. The machines described in this standard are used for derinding, skinning and membrane removal of meat, game and fish by cutting at a blade. Derinding, skinning and membrane removal machines for household purposes are not covered by this standard.

This European standard specifies requirements for the design and manufacture of circular saw machines (see Figures 1 and 2). The machines covered by this standard are used to cut bone. The circular saw machines covered by this standard do not include circular saw machines for processing of wood or similar materials. This standard covers the following type of circular saw machine - with a fixed table; - with a hinged product pusher (see Figure 1).

This European Standard specifies requirements for the design and manufacture of band saw machines. The machines covered by this standard are used to cut meat, frozen meat, bone and other foodstuff. The band saw machines covered by this standard are distinct from woodworking band saw machines. The requirements described in prEN 1807 do not apply to the band saw machines described here.

This part of EN 1672 specifies common hygiene requirements for machinery used in preparing and processing food for human and, where relevant, animal consumption to eliminate or minimise the risk of infection, illness, contagion or injury arising from this food. It identifies the hazards which are relevant to the use of such food processing machinery and describes design methods and information for use for the elimination or reduction of these risks.  This standard does not deal with the hygiene related risks to personnel arising from the use of the machine, such as the use of cleaning agents, steam etc. which are dealt with in prEN 1672-1:1994.  This standard applies to food processing machines listed in the normative  annex A used for batch, continuous, open and closed processing using any kind of energy for motive power, heating or control.  NOTE : Separate hygiene requirements are contained in other EU Directives.  This standard applies primarily to machines which are manufactured after its date of issue.  In addition, the principles contained in this standard can be applied to other machinery and equipment used to process food where similar risks apply.
