Overview

This standard defines relevant requirements set out in Annex I of the 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 applies to machines for the processing of fresh and filled pasta, by mixing, kneading, dough sheet forming, pasta forming and pasteurizing. It applies to stationary and movable machines (not intended to be moved during operation), with a nominal capacity of not less than 25 kg/h. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations, and events when the machines falling within the scope of this standard are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. It deals with the hazards during the following phases of the machines' lifetime: transport, assembly and installation, commissioning, setting and adjusting, operation, cleaning, fault finding, maintenance, de-commissioning, dismantling, disabling and scrapping. This document applies to the following groups of machines: - discontinuous manually loaded kneading machines with or without lifting and tilting devices; - continuous kneading machine; - combination of dough kneading and dough sheet forming machine; - forming machine processing one single dough sheet; - forming machine processing two dough sheets; - dough sheet forming machine; - sizing roller machine; - dough transport shuttle machine; - steam pasteurizer machine; - cooler machine; - dough sheet cutting machine; - gnocchi machine; - typical shapes pasta machine. This European Standard is not applicable to the following machines: - household machines; - auxiliary equipment (not changing the characteristics of product): conveying systems not part of the machinery, weighting and bagging equipment, lifting and tilting machinery. This European Standard is not applicable to pasta processing machines, which were manufactured before CEN published this European Standard. This standard contains the German version of EN 15774:2010 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 national interests during the preparation of the standard are represented by Committee NA 060-18-07 AA "Getreideverarbeiter" ("Grain processors") of Technical Section "Food Processing Machinery" of the Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee (NAM) at DIN. Representatives of the interested parties of pasta and cereals processing machinery, and of the employers' liability insurance associations are involved in the preparation of this standard.
