Overview

This type C standard contains environmentally relevant requirements. This European Standard contains specifications meeting the essential requirements set out in Annex I of the "Machinery Directive", Directive 2006/42/EC, and which apply to paper making and finishing machines that are either first placed on the market or commissioned within the EEA to facilitate proof of compliance with these requirements. Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, it is deemed a "harmonized" standard and thus, a manufacturer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive ("presumption of conformity"). This European Standard applies to machines for the production of paper and board, including head box, wire section (former), press section, drying section, film size press, coating unit, flotation and infrared dryer, smoothing unit, integrated calender, measuring device, reel-up, integrated sheeter, drives and control system and applies together with EN 1034-1:2000+A1:2010. It deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazard events relevant to machines for the production of paper and board, when used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see clause 4). This document does not deal with pressure hazards in steam-heated drying cylinders. Directive 97/23/EC gives essential safety requirements for equipment under pressure. This standard does not apply to: - tissue making machines, - cardboard making machines, - coating machines, - machines for the production of corrugated board, - integrated conveyors and cranes designed for transporting reels/shells (reel spools) and for machine maintenance, and - integrated fire extinguishing equipment. Application: machine designers. This standard contains the German version of EN 1034-16:2011 which has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 198 "Printing and paper machinery - Safety" of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). During the preparation of the standard, the national interests were represented by Working Committee NA 060-23-01 AA "Druck- und Papiermaschinen" ("Printing and paper machinery") at Technical Section "Printing and paper machinery" of the Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee (NAM) at DIN. Representatives of machine manufacturers and of the employers' liability insurance association for the raw material and chemical industry (formerly known as employers' liability insurance association for papermakers) contributed to this standard. Application: machine designers.
