Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such nationalstandards may be obtained on application to the CEN Management Centre or to any CEN member.This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translationunder the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN Management Centre has the same status as theofficial versions.CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland,France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal,Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.EUROPEAN COMMITTEE FOR STANDARDIZATIONCOMITÉ EUROPÉEN DE NORMALISATIONEUROPÄISCHES KOMITEE FÜR NORMUNGManagement Centre: rue de Stassart, 36

Depending on the individual end use requirement, these other factors can affect the category of belt selected and additional safety precautions may need to be employed. This European Standard is therefore designed to enable the user to select the category of conveyor belt most suited to the particular circumstances of the application. The principal changes from the first edition of EN 12882 are as follows: e) the surface potential, when measured in accordance with EN ISO 21179, has been increased from 500 V to 1 000 V, in the light of further experience since EN 12882:2001 was published; f) Annex A, which was an Extract from CENELEC Report CLC/R 044-001 “Safety of machinery – Guidance and recommendations for the avoidance of hazards due to static electricity”, has been deleted as its inclusion has caused confusion between users and manufacturers of belts.

EN ISO 21178 and which is relevant to some types of light conveyor belts.
This European Standard is not applicable to conveyor belts which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
NOTE 1 Directive 94/9/EC concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres can be applicable to the type of machine or equipment covered by this European Standard. The present standard is not intended to provide means of complying with the essential health and safety requirements of Directive 94/9/EC, this being covered in EN 14973. NOTE 2 EN 12882 is not a product standard but is intended to help users of conveyor belts to select the required electrical and flammability safety properties needed following a suitable risk assessment. No requirements are, therefore, included for marking, information to be supplied, etc., these matters being covered in relevant product standards such as EN ISO 14890 and EN ISO 15236-1. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
