DIN EN 13389:2010-10

This standard defines relevant requirements set out in Annex I of the new EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, relating to machines which were placed on the European Economic Area (EEA) market for the first time, with the intent of simplifying the means of proving conformity with such requirements. Once this standard is designated a harmonized standard in the Official Journal of the European Communities, a manufacturer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive (the so-called presumption of conformity). This European Standard specifies particular requirements for the design, transport, installation, operation and maintenance of fixed or tilting horizontal bowl type mixers with one or two rotating shafts with or without movable blades. These mixers are used to mix, knead and homogenise food for animal or human consumption in powder, paste or liquid form. The mixers can be both floor mounted and transportable (with or without castors). They are intended to be used when stationary. These machines are used in feed mills and factories which produce, work on or process foodstuff, for example biscuits, bread, chocolate, cereal products. This European Standard does not deal with the use of these machines in potentially explosive atmospheres. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to mixers with horizontal shafts, when they are used as intended and under conditions which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see clause 4). This European Standard also specifies food hygiene requirements. The feeding equipment, the dosing equipment, and the requirements of equipment for the supply of inert gases, and for heating and cooling, are excluded from the scope of this European Standard. The hazards due to the unloading equipment (container, discharge belt, and so on) are not dealt with in this standard. When drawing up this European Standard, it has been established that the machines shall not be cleaned with a water jet. This European Standard is not applicable to mixers with horizontal shafts which were manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN. This standard contains the German version of EN 13389:2005+A1:2009 which has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 153 "Machinery intended for use with foodstuffs and feed" of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). The following changes have been made with respect to DIN EN 13389:2005-10: a) The standard has been changed and adapted with respect to the new Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC; b) An informative Annex ZB on the relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC has been added. The national interests during the preparation of the standard were represented by Committee NA 060-18-01 AA "Bäckereimaschinen" ("Bakery equipment") of Technical Section "Food Processing Machinery" of the Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee (NAM) at DIN. Representatives of the interested parties were involved in the preparation of this standard.
