1 Scope This document applies to:

• — Pre-press machinery (machinery and devices for the production of master copies and printing forms):
  • — exposure equipment for the production of films and printing forms;
  • — equipment for developing films and printing forms;
  • — washing machines for printing forms;
  • — machines for bending printing forms;
  • — Punching machines for film and printing forms;
  • — cutting machines for film and printing forms;
  • — machines for the production of gravure printing forms;
  • — scanners.
• — Printing and varnishing machines:
  • — proofing presses;
  • — sheet-fed printing presses and varnishing machines including digital printing presses;
  • — web-fed rotary presses and varnishing machines including digital printing presses;
  • — screen printing presses.
• — Auxiliary devices:
  • — cylinder and roller washing devices;
  • — continuous flow drying devices;
  • — powder spraying devices;
  • — auxiliary devices on inking and damping units;
  • — automatic plate clamping devices;
  • — washing equipment for printing forms, rollers and scrapers;
  • — pile turners;
  • — measuring and control devices.

This document shall be used together with EN 1010‑1:2004+A1. Both parts together identify all significant hazards relevant to printing and varnishing machines including pre-press machinery and auxiliary devices, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). The specific requirements specified in prEN 1010-2 take precedence over respective requirements in this standard. This document does not deal with risks generated by noise emitted from the machines. These issues are fundamentally covered in EN 1010‑1:2004+A1 This document does not apply to high-pressure cleaning devices and screen printing presses for textile substrates. This document is not applicable to printing and varnishing machines including pre-press machinery which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
