CEN/TC 202/WG 2 - Moulding and core making

This document deals with foreseeable significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to molding and coremaking machinery and associated equipment when used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 5). It provides the requirements to be met by the manufacturer to ensure the safety of persons and property during the life-cycle phases in accordance with ISO 12100:2010, 5.4, as well as in the event of foreseeable failures or malfunctions that can occur in the equipment.
This document applies to the following equipment:
a) machinery constructed to condition and/or reclaim foundry sands for mold and coremaking (including related moldable granular materials);
b) molding machinery;
c) coremaking machinery;
d) knock-out equipment;
e) other directly associated equipment.
This document does not apply to:
—    ladles and pouring equipment;
NOTE          This equipment is covered within the European Union (EU) by EN 1247:2010.
—    wax and lost foam pattern production and wax removal equipment;
—    additive manufacturing equipment;
—    dust and/or gaseous emissions reduction equipment;
—    crane installations;
—    winches;
—    continuous conveyors or handling systems which can be an integral part of the equipment covered by this document;
—    sand and casting separation systems.
This document does not explicitly deal with electrical hazards. These hazards are covered by IEC 60204-1: 2016

This standard specifies safety requirements to be met by the manufacturer for machines and plant used in foundries for the production of castings in disposable models. It takes into account the foreseeable significant hazards due to design, construction and installation that may occur during commissioning, operation, maintenance and decommissioning. It specifies preventative measures and verification means for the elimination or reduction of these hazards. It specifies requirements for information to be provided by the manufacturer to the user on safe operation and maintenance.
This standard applies to the following equipment:
-   Machinery and plant constructed to condition and/or reclaim foundry sands;
-   Moulding machinery and plants;
-   Coremaking machinery and plants;
-   Knock-out equipment;
-   Other directly associated equipment.
The foreseeable significant hazards covered are listed in clause 5 and include:
-   Mechanical hazards, movement of machinery and workpieces, ejection of material, of liquids and gases, inadequacy of the mechanical strength;
-   Explosion, fire, exothermic reactions;
-   Contact with hot parts, gases and flames;
-   Noise and vibration;
-   Thermal heat radiation and conduction;
-   Harmful by-products, poisoning, pollution of operators' breathing air.
This standard applies to equipment covered by this standard which is placed on the market after the date of issue of this standard.
This standard does not cover the safety requirements for wax- and lost foam pattern production and wax removal equipment and drying ovens.
This standard does not apply to crane installations, winches, continuous conveyors or handling systems which could be an integral part of the above equipment.
The standard does not cover dust reduction equipment.
