Overview

This Type C standard contains safety requirements. 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 tissue making machines for the production of soft and crepe paper and applies together with EN 1034-1:2000+A1:2010. It deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazard events relevant to tissue making machines when used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer. Pressure hazards in steam-heated drying cylinders and Yankee cylinders are not dealt with. This standard does not apply to: - paper and board making machines - tissue winder (plying machines) - tissue converting machines. At this stage the standard does not deal with tissue making machines which apply the dry process for sheet forming. These machines are intended to be included in the standard at a later date. Application: machine designers. This standard contains the German version of EN 1034-17:2011 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.
