Overview

This testing standard specifies electrical and flammability safety requirements for general purpose conveyor belts not intended for use in underground installations and a means of categorizing conveyor belts in terms of the safety degree sought in their end use application. This European Standard does not provide electrical safety requirements for volume resistance which may be measured by the methods in EN ISO 21178 and which is relevant to some types of light conveyor belts. This European Standard is not applicable to conveyor belts which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN. Directive 94/9/EC concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres can be applicable to the type of machine or equipment covered by this European Standard. The present standard is not intended to provide means of complying with the essential health and safety requirements of Directive 94/9/EC, this being covered in EN 14973. This document has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 188 "Conveyor belts". The responsible national committee is Working Committee NA 045-02-05 AA "Fördergurte (Spiegelgremium zu CEN/TC 188, ISO/TC 41/SC 3)" ("Conveyor belts (national mirror committee for CEN/TC 188, ISO/TC 41/SC 3)") of the Rubber Technology Standards Committee (FAKAU) at DIN.
