This European Standard assumes that the machinery is used with adequate workplace lighting conforming to EN 12464-1.
NOTE Local regulations regarding lighting should be considered and could differ from requirements of EN 12464-1.
This European Standard applies to:
CCM for the transformation of molten liquid steel into solid products in sections (e.g. square, rectangular, beam blank, circular)
from the point where overhead cranes or other transport systems deposit ladles (e.g. in a ladle turret or ladle car);
via casting process;
via cutting equipment;
to the run-out-area where the cut product is collected.
This European Standard does not cover safety requirements for:
auxiliary plants (e.g. water treatment, refractory handling);
ladles;
cranes;
winches and hoists;
conveyors or handling systems.
This European Standard is not applicable to CCM, manufactured before the date of publication of this standard by CEN.

handling equipment designed specifically to be used within the forging line, e. g., material manipulation devices, turnover or handling devices attached to fork lift trucks or cranes etc.
It specifies the health and safety requirements at all stages in the life of the equipment, its design, ordering, construction, use and disposal.
This European Standard specifies requirements to be met by the manufacturer to ensure the health and safety of persons during construction, transport, commissioning, operation, maintenance and de-commissioning, as well as in the event of foreseeable faults as malfunctions which may occur in the equipment.
This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to hydraulically powered hot forging presses when they are used as intended and under conditions foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This European Standard does not cover:
hydraulically controlled closed die forging presses for hot working;
mechanically powered hot forging presses;
mobile manipulators as defined in 3.4.2;
standard transport and lifting equipment modified for use with material manipulation devices, turnover and handling devices such as for fork lift trucks and cranes.

This European Standard applies to:
extrusion presses from the exit side of the heater through associated handling, cooling and quenching equipment including, e.g. the puller, the hot saw, the run-out table, the stretcher, the cold saw, cold saw table and/or coiler when incorporated into the equipment, to a point where the extruded product is passed to associated finishing equipment.
It specifies the health and safety requirements at all stages in the life of the equipment, its design, ordering, construction, use and disposal.
This European Standard specifies requirements to be met by the manufacturer to ensure the health and safety of persons during construction, transport, commissioning, operation, maintenance and de-commissioning, as well as in the event of foreseeable faults as malfunctions which may occur in the equipment.
This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to extrusion presses when they are used as intended and under conditions which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This European Standard is not applicable to extrusion presses which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.
