Foreword
This document (EN 13985:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 143 ”Machine tools -
Safety“, the secretariat of which is held by SNV.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by July 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by
July 2003.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European
Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EC Directive(s).
For relationship with EC directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
Organisation contributing to the preparation of this European Standard include the European Manufacturer
Association CECIMO.
NOTE  The safety requirements related to the use of PES or PPS will be dealt with at its next revision.
The European Standards produced by CEN/TC 143 are particular to machine tools and complement the relevant A
and B standards on the subject of general safety (see introduction of EN 292-1:1991 for a description of A, B and C
standards).
Annexes A, B and D are normative. Annex C is informative.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
0 Introduction
This European Standard has been prepared to be a harmonised standard to provide one means of conforming to
the essential safety requirements of the “Machinery“ Directive and associated EFTA Regulations. It is a C-type
standard as described in EN 1070:1998.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this standard. When provisions of this C type standard are different from those which are
stated in A or B standards, the provision of this C type standard take precedence over the provisions of the other
standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this C type standard.
Complementary guidance is given in the A and B standards to which reference is made in the text (see clause 2).
The figures are intended to be examples only and not to give the only interpretation of the text.
The requirements of this European Standard concern designers, manufacturers, suppliers and importers of
machines described in the scope.
This standard also includes information to be provided by the manufacturer to the user.
1 Scope
1.1 This European Standard specifies technical safety requirements and measures to be adopted by persons
undertaking the design as defined in 3.11 of EN 292-1:1991, manufacture and supply of guillotine shears which are
intended to work cold metal or material partly of cold metal as defined in 3.1.7 and hereafter referred as machines.
1.2 This standard also covers guillotine shears whose primary intended use is to work cold metal, which are to
be used in the same way to work other sheet materials (e.g. cardboard, plastic, rubber, leather).
1.3 The requirements in this standard take account of intended use, as defined in 3.12 of EN 292-1:1991. This
standard presumes access to the guillotine shear from all directions, deals with the hazards described in clause 4,
and specifies the safety requirements and/or protective measures for both the operator and other exposed persons.
1.4 This standard also applies to ancillary devices which are an integral part of the guillotine shear. This
standard also applies to machines which are integrated into an automatic production line where the hazards and
risk arising are comparable to those of machines working separately.
1.5 This standard includes guillotine shears in which energy is imparted to the blade by a number of means. e.g.:
a) mechanically driven from a motor through a friction clutch;
b) through a direct drive motor and brake;
c) through hydraulic pressure;
d) through pneumatic pressure.
1.6 This standard does not cover machines whose principal designed purpose is:
a) cutting in other than a straight line (e.g. at nibbling machines);
b) cutting by continuous action at crocodile shears (see 3.4).
1.7 This standard does not cover the safety requirements related to the use of PES or PPS. They will be dealt with
at its next revision.
1.8 This standard is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before the date of publication of this
document by CEN.
