Overview

This standard defines relevant requirements set out in Annex I of EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, relating to machines which were placed on the European Economic Area (EEA) 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 Union, a manufacturer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive (the so-called "presumption of conformity"). This standard includes the German version of EN 12042:2013 which has been prepared by Technical Committee 153 "Food processing machinery" at the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). This standard differs from DIN EN 12042:2011-06 as follows: * normative references have been updated; * Clause 4: new presentation in a table; * 5.2.2, zone 1: * the requirements are the same whether the loading of the machine is manual or automatic; * addition of new requirements for pressure sensitive edge (see 5.2.2.2.2), AOPD (see 5.2.2.2.3), cleaning of the hopper (see 5.2.2.2.6) and feeding assistance device inside the hopper (see 5.2.2.2.7); * new stopping time ≤ 0,35 s; * new performance level d. * 5.2.3, zone 2: * the former Table 1 (Dimensions of the guard or tunnel) has been replaced by a reference to EN ISO 13857; * Instruction handbook has been updated (environmental information). The national interests during the preparation are represented by Committee NA 060-18-01 AA "Bäckereimaschinen" ("Bakery equipment") at Technical Section "Food processing machinery and packaging machinery" of the Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee (NAM) at DIN. Representatives of manufacturers and users of bakery equipment, and of the employers' liability insurance associations contributed to this standard.
