1.1   This European Standard specifies the safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of vegetable cutting machines which are transportable and have a maximum rated power less than 3 kW.
This European Standard deals with machines intended for cutting, shredding, dicing, chipping and grating of food products in which the product passes through the machine.
As described in 3.2.1, the types of machines in the scope are machines with a fixed chamber and rotating blade or cutting disc, with a rotating drum and fixed blades or machines with horizontal reciprocating cutters (mainly used for potato chipping).
1.2   This European Standard specifies all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to vegetable cutting machines, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This European Standard deals with the hazards which can arise during commissioning, operation, cleaning, removal of food blockages, feeding, changing the tools, maintenance and decommissioning of the machine.
1.3   This European Standard does not apply to:
-   food processors (see EN 12852);
-   vegetable peelers (see EN 13208);
-   vegetable cutting attachments which are mounted onto machines having an auxiliary drive hub (see
EN 12851);
-   planetary mixers (see EN 454);
-   domestic machines.
1.4   This European Standard is not applicable to vegetable cutting machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.

1.1   This European standard specifies the safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of vegetable peelers used in the commercial and institutional catering industry, and in food shops.
The machines concerned by this standard are designed to peel different sorts of vegetables and tubers such as potatoes, carrots, salsify, turnips, celery and onions.
The standard is limited to machines where the maximum capacity is 50 kg.
The machines are not intended to be moved during operation.
The rotating plate mixes the product under appropriate conditions so that the desired operation is carried out on the entire load.
This operation can be:
-    the abrading of the surface of the vegetable or tuber;
-    the cutting of fine particles of skin if the fitting is of the blade-type;
-    grating, an operation which is similar to abrading;
-    scraping or cleaning with a brush, rubber coating or cast iron surface.
Machines subject to this standard use water circulation to carry waste to the waste outlet. The underside of the plate is sometimes designed with raised parts which speed up the discharge of the waste water.
This European Standard deals with the hazards which can arise during commissioning, operation, cleaning, removal of food blockages, feeding, changing the tools, maintenance and decommissioning of the machine.
Machines covered by this standard are not intended to be cleaned by high pressure water jets.
1.2   This European standard does not apply to domestic machines.
Vegetable peelers have nothing in common with meat derinding machines (which are dealt with in
EN 12355), both from their design and use standpoint.
1.3   This European Standard specifies all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to vegetable peelers, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
1.4   Noise is not considered to be a significant hazard for vegetable pee

1.1   This European Standard specifies the safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of food processors and blenders.
It applies to food processors and blenders having a bowl which is stationary while the food is being processed.
The total volume of the bowl is less than or equal to 150 l.
The machines covered by this standard are intended to carry out various types of operations such as: mincing, mixing, blending, whipping, using a large number of products and raw materials, and which are used in food and catering industries such as restaurants, hotels, coffee shops and pubs.
This European Standard specifies all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to food processors and blenders, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This European Standard deals with the hazards which can arise during commissioning, operation, cleaning, removal of food blockages, feeding, changing the tools, maintenance and decommissioning of the machine.
1.2   This standard does not apply to:
-   domestic machines;
-   machinery dedicated to food industrial processing (e.g. pet food, cannery industry, industrial meat processing).
Small machines called "shakers" which are dedicated to blending liquid, with an impellor, usually driven from above are excluded.
1.3   This European Standard is not applicable to food processors and blenders which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.

1.1   This European Standard specifies the safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of hand-held blenders and whisks used in the commercial and institutional catering, and in food shops.
The term "hand-held blenders" is used to refer to the equipment covered by this standard.
The machines covered by this standard are hand-held appliances whose tool is intended to process a foodstuff in a container. Tools are designed to crush, mix, mash, emulsify, etc. foodstuffs such as vegetables into soups, mashes, purees, sauces, mayonnaise, cream, dairy products and more generally to process all solid, liquid, pasty or powdery foodstuffs to obtain a homogeneous fluid.
These appliances are designed to process up to 100 l of food in one operation.
This standard applies to the following machines, according to their weight and to the operating modes required by their intended use:
-   manually operated machines, using one or both hands, actuated throughout the whole operation (see figure 1);
-   machines operating resting on the bottom of the container (see figure 2);
-   machines fixed to or placed on a special support which can be fitted to the container (see figure 3). The support acts as a substitute for the operator for operations that take a long time or for food processing which may present risks of burns (steam or splashes).

1.2   This standard does not apply to:
-   domestic machines;
-   vertical crushers, sieves mounted on trolleys and beam mixers (beam mixers are covered by EN 12854:2003).

This document specifies the safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of salad dryers taking account of installation, cleaning, removal of jammed food, feeding, maintenance and decommissioning. The spinning function is obtained by the rotation of a perforated basket in which the product being processed is placed.
It applies to machines:
-   which are intended for use in the commercial and institutional catering industry;
-   having a rotation speed between 300 rpm and 900 rpm;
-   having a nominal output below 2 kW;
-   having a nominal volume of the basket less than 100 l.
These machines can be stationary or movable.
The machines concerned by this document are those appliances which are intended for eliminating by spinning the water present on salad after washing. These machines can also be used for spinning other vegetables such as spinach, watercress, radish, French beans, etc.
The machines covered by this document are not intended to be cleaned with water jet.
This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to salad dryers, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
NOTE   If the machine is not used under above conditions, the manufacturer should verify, when he is informed of such situation, if the preventive measures remain valid (see 3.22 of EN ISO 12100-1:2003).
The feeding principle of the machine can be notably:
-   manual loading into the basket left in position in the machine;
-   placing in and withdrawal from the machine of the loaded basket.
1.2   Noise is not considered to be a significant hazard with salad dryers. This does not mean that the manufacturer of these machines is absolved from reducing noise and making a noise declaration. Therefore a noise test code is proposed in Annex A.
1.3   Vibrations are not considered as a hazard with these machines.
