Safety of machinery. Safety requirements for strip processing line machinery and equipment. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This European Standard defines the health and safety requirements of strip processing lines (see 3.1). This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant for strip processing line machinery and equipment, when used as intended and under conditions foreseen by the manufacturer, but also includes foreseeable faults and malfunctions in case of misuse. This European Standard specifies the requirements to ensure the safety of persons which are to be considered and met during the design, assembly, transport, commissioning, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of the equipment. This European Standard applies to: Strip processing lines for treating metal strip: from take-over point (see 3.6) of the entry section (terminal equipment, see 3.2) through the process (processing and terminal equipment, see 3.3 and 3.2) up to the takeover point of the exit section or interface to other lines (terminal equipment). This European Standard does not cover:

• — Furnaces in accordance with EN 746‑1, EN 746‑2 and EN 746‑3;
• — Dryers and ovens in accordance with EN 1539;
• — Coil transporting system before take-over-point at the entry section and after take-over-point at the exit section, e. g., hook conveyors, overhead cranes, fork lift and railway trucks and other vehicles;
• — Storage equipment for coils;
• — Rolling mill stands (i. e., skin pass and reduction stands) according to prEN 15094;
• — Rollshop equipment.

If applicable, the safety requirements of those standards mentioned above should be considered. This European Standard is not applicable to strip processing line machinery and equipment, which are manufactured before the date of publication of this standard by CEN.
