DIN EN 1807-2:2013-06

This standard contains specifications meeting the essential requirements set out in Annex I of the EU 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. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in clause 4 which are relevant to stationary and displaceable log band sawing machines with either manual or automatic loading and/or unloading, hereinafter referred to as "machines", designed to cut solid wood, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer, including reasonably foreseeable misuse. This European Standard does not apply to: a) table band saws and band re-saws; Table band saws and band re-saws are covered by EN 1807-1. b) specific hazards related to automatic loading and/or unloading; c) any hazards relating to the combination of a single machine being used with any other machine (as part of a line - for example loading and/or unloading automated systems); d) any hazards arising from any other machining processes (for example milling and sawing) related to associated machines or cutting groups, for example canters and circular saws. This European Standard does not deal with the specific hazards related to thermal engine and P.T.O. equipment fitted to the machine. This European Standard is not applicable to machines manufactured before the date of its publication as EN. Machines with manual loading and/or unloading covered by this document are listed under 4 of Annex IV of the Machinery Directive. This standard contains the German version of EN 1807-2:2013, which has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 142 "Woodworking machines - Safety" of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). This document, together with EN 1807-1:2013, supersedes EN 1807:1999+A1:2009. This standard differs from DIN EN 1807:2010-02 as follows: a) normative references have been updated; b) in 5.2 "Controls", the design requirements for control circuits in certain categories according to EN 954-1 have been replaced by specifications for performance levels according to EN ISO 13849-1; c) in 5.3.7.2 "Guarding of drives (band wheels, feed, etcetera)", a requirement has been included for guard-locking on interlocked movable guards to prevent access to moving parts, of type N of EN 1088 when the band saw blade run-down time is maximum 10 s and of type M when the run-down time exceeds 10 s; d) in 5.4.3, "Emission of chips and dust", further requirements have been included; e) informative Annex ZA on the relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of EU Directive 98/37/EC has been deleted; f) the former Annex ZB is now informative Annex ZA "Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of EU Directive 2006/42/EC"; g) the Bibliography has been updated. The national interests during the preparation are represented by Committee NA 060-06-01 AA "Sicherheit" ("Safety") of Technical Section "Woodworking machines" of the Standards Committee Mechanical Engineering (NAM) at DIN. Representatives of manufacturers and users of stationary and displaceable log band sawing machines, and of the employers liability insurance associations contributed to this standard.
