DIN EN 860:2012-09

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 document specifies all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in clause 4, relevant to stationary and displaceable one side thickness planing machines fitted with an integrated feed and with cutterblock fixed in position and manual loading and unloading of the work-piece, hereinafter referred to as "machines", designed to cut solid wood, chipboard, fibreboard and plywood when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer including reasonably foreseeable misuse. Machines which are designed to work wood based materials may also be used for working hardened plastic materials with similar physical characteristics as wood. This document does not apply to: a) machines set up on a bench or a table similar to a bench, which is intended to carry out work in a stationary position, capable of being lifted by one person by hand. Transportable motor-operated electric tools are dealt with in EN 61029-1:2000 together with prEN 61029-2-3:2004. b) hand held planers or any adaptation permitting their use in a different mode, that is bench mounting; Hand-held motor-operated electric tools are dealt with in EN 60745-1:2003 together with EN 60745-2-14:2003. c) thickness planing machines where the cutterblock is adjustable for depth of cut setting. Machines covered by this European Standard are listed under 3 of Annex IV of the Machinery Directive. This document is not applicable to one side thickness planning machines fitted with an integrated feed and with cutterblock fixed in position which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN. This document contains the German version of EN 860:2007+A2:2012, which has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 142 "Woodworking machines - Safety" of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). The following significant modifications have been made with respect to DIN EN 860:2010-01: a) in clause 1, the scope has been extended to include machines for working hardened plastic materials with similar physical characteristics as wood; b) normative references have been updated to include the new editions of the cited standards; c) in clause 4, the list of significant hazards has been revised with regard to EN ISO 12100:2010; d) in subclause 5.2.1 "Safety and reliability of control systems", the design requirements for control circuits in certain categories have been replaced by specifications for performance levels; e) in subclause 5.2.1 "Safety and reliability of control systems", subclauses 5.2.1.2 "Use of well-tried components" and 5.2.1.3 "Use of electronic components" have been deleted; f) in subclause 5.2.3, the starting requirements have been revised; g) in subclause 5.3.4, the braking system requirements have been revised; h) further requirements have been included in subclause 5.4.3 "Emission of chips and dust"; i) Annex D "Use of well-tried components" has been deleted; j) Annex E "Use of electric components" has been deleted. During the preparation the national interests were represented by Working Committee NA 060-06-01 AA "Sicherheit" ("Safety") of the Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee (NAM) at DIN. Manufacturers' representatives and users of one side thickness planing machines, as well as representatives of professional and trade associations were involved in the preparation of the standard.
