Abstract
1.1 This document specifies safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of pizza dough sheeters which: a) are intended to be used: 1) for producing mainly pizza dough bases in shops and craft activities (i.e. pizzerias, takeaway pizza shops, craft bakeries and/or pastries, catering facilities, etc.); 2) for flattening and enlarging pieces of dough; 3) only for professional use; 4) by one operator at a time; 5) as standalone table-top machines only; 6) only with manual feeding of the pieces of pizza dough by gravity; 7) only with manual unloading of the flattened and enlarged pieces of pizza dough; b) are fitted with: 1) at most two pairs of flattening rollers, the rollers of a pair having the same diameter and the same length; 2) flattening rollers having: i. diameter ≤ 60 mm; ii. fixed direction of the rotation such as to move the pizza dough from top to bottom; iii. motor(s) for the rotation of the flattening rollers which transmit a power ≤ 0,50 kW to each pair of rollers 1.2 The following relevant hazards are not covered by this document: - hazards arising from the use of an automatic loading and/or unloading system; - hazards due to packaging, handling and transport; - hazards due to ambiguous and/or not easily understandable information needed to control the machine. This document does not deal with any specific requirement on noise emitted from pizza dough sheeters as the generated noise does not cause a relevant hazard. The significant hazards covered by this document are described in Annex A. 1.3 The following machines are excluded from the scope of this document: - domestic (household) appliances; - machines with automatic feeding of the pizza dough pieces and/or unloading of the pizza bases; - machines with feeding of the lumps other than by gravity; - machines to process other products than pizza dough; - bagel machines; - dough sheeters (see EN 1674:2015); - moulders (see EN 12041:2014); - sheeters for pasta dough processing; - experimental and testing machines under development by the manufacturer. 1.4 This document is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard.
