1 Scope 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 (see Clause 4). This document does not deal with pressure hazards in steam-heated drying cylinders and Yankee cylinders.

NOTE Directive 97/23/EC gives essential safety requirements for equipment under pressure.

This document does not apply to:

• — paper and board making machines;
• — tissue winder (plying machines);
• — tissue converting machines.

At this stage this 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. This document is not applicable to tissue making machines which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
