DIN EN 1870-14:2012-06

This standard contains specifications meeting the essential requirements set out in Annex I of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and which apply to machines that are first placed on the market within the European Economic Area (EEA). Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, it is deemed a "harmonized" standard and thus, a manufacturer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive ("presumption of conformity"). This document specifies all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in clause 4 which are relevant to manually loaded and unloaded vertical panel sawing (with or without integrated feed) machines fitted with: - the facility for scoring; - an angle cutting device; - a middle support device; - a programmable stop for parallel vertical cuts; - the facility for grooving with a width of at most 20 mm in one pass by using a milling tools, hereinafter referred to as "machines" when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer including reasonably foreseeable misuse. The machines are designed for cutting panels of the following materials: - wood based materials such as chipboard, fibreboard, plywood and also these materials where they are covered with plastic/light alloy laminates; - solid wood; - hardened rubber and hardened plastic material; - non-ferrous materials, for example, light alloy; - compound materials with core consisting of polyurethane or mineral material laminated with light alloy. This document does not apply to vertical panel saws with pressure beam and saw unit mounted behind the workpiece support. This document does not deal with hazards relating to the combination of a single machine being used with any other machine (as part of a line). This document is not applicable to vertical panel saws which are manufactured before the date of its publication by CEN. Machines covered by this document are listed under 1.4 of Annex IV of the Machinery Directive. This standard contains the German version of EN 1870-14:2007+A2:2012, which has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 142 "Woodworking machines - Safety" of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). This standard differs from DIN EN 1870-14:2010-06 as follows: a) update of the normative references to the new editions of the cited standards; b) fundamental revision of clause 5, Safety requirements and/or measures; c) update of subclause 6.3 "Instruction handbook" with regard to items s, v and w, and addition of new item x; d) informative Annex A, Use of well-tried components, has been deleted; e) normative Annex G, Use of electronic components, has been deleted; f) informative Annex ZA, Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of EU Directive 98/37/EC, has been deleted; g) the previous informative Annex ZB, Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of EU Directive 2006/42/EC, is now included as informative Annex ZA; h) update of the bibliography. During the preparation the national interests were represented by Working Committee NA 060-06-01 AA "Holzbearbeitungsmaschinen - Sicherheit" ("Woodworking machines - Safety") at Technical Section "Woodworking machines" of the Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee (NAM) at DIN. Representatives of manufacturers and users of vertical panel saws and of the employers' liability insurance associations contributed to this standard.
