Overview
SIST EN 1870-17:2007/kprA1:2009 details safety requirements for woodworking machines, specifically manual horizontal cutting cross-cut sawing machines with one saw unit (manual radial arm saws). Developed under the scope of EN 1870-17:2007/prA1 and related documents, this standard establishes minimum safety specifications and marking requirements for manufacturers and users. The document also aligns with the Essential Requirements of EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, promoting harmonized safety approaches across European woodworking machinery markets.
Key Topics
Scope of Application
- Focuses on manual radial arm saws designed for horizontal cross-cutting in woodworking.
- Applies where a single saw unit is operated and manipulated manually.
Safety and Ergonomics
- Specifies critical safety features for protecting operators and bystanders.
- Emphasizes ergonomic design to minimize risks related to manual handling.
- Machines or components weighing over 25 kg must include attachments for lifting devices, reducing hazards during transport, assembly, and dismantling.
Marking and Information
- Standardizes required manufacturer markings (name, address, year of construction, machine type).
- Details updated requirements for instructions and safety literature, including noise emission information and clear guidance during breakdowns or blockages.
Compliance with EU Directives
- Implementation supports conformity with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
- Compliance provides presumption of conformity with essential health and safety requirements, streamlining CE marking processes.
Applications
SIST EN 1870-17:2007/kprA1:2009 serves various stakeholders in the woodworking industry:
- Manufacturers: Ensures design and production processes incorporate state-of-the-art safety and labeling expectations, facilitating easier market entry and regulatory acceptance.
- Machine Importers and Distributors: Aids in verifying product compliance for the European Economic Area, reducing liability and ensuring safer equipment.
- Plant Managers and Safety Officers: Provides a clear checklist for machine installation, inspection, maintenance, and operation, improving workplace safety culture.
- Operators and Maintenance Staff: Supplies essential instructions and warnings, enabling safer daily use and correct action in emergencies.
Practical adoption of this standard leads to:
- Reduced risk of accidents and injuries
- Reliable machinery operation
- Readier access to EU markets with application of CE marking
