This European Standard deals with the hazards which can arise during commissioning, operation, cleaning, removal of food blockages, feeding, changing the tools, maintenance and decommissioning of the machine.
1.3   This European Standard does not apply to:
-   food processors (see EN 12852);
-   vegetable peelers (see EN 13208);
-   vegetable cutting attachments which are mounted onto machines having an auxiliary drive hub (see
EN 12851);
-   planetary mixers (see EN 454);
-   domestic machines.
1.4   This European Standard is not applicable to vegetable cutting machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.

1.1 !La présente Norme européenne spécifie les prescriptions de sécurité et d'hygiène pour la conception et la
fabrication de coupe-légumes pouvant être transportés et ayant une puissance nominale maximale inférieure à 3 kW.
La présente Norme européenne traite des machines destinées à couper, découper en lanières, en dés, en frites
et à râper des produits alimentaires qui traversent l’appareil.
Comme décrit en 3.2.1, les machines relevant du domaine d’application sont des machines qui disposent d'une
chambre fixe équipée d'un couteau ou d'un disque coupant rotatifs, des machines à tambour rotatif et couteaux fixes,
ou des machines principalement destinées à découper les frites à l’aide de couteaux effectuant un mouvement
alternatif horizontal.
1.2 La présente Norme européenne traite de tous les phénomènes, situations et événements dangereux
significatifs spécifiques aux coupe-légumes, lorsqu'ils sont utilisés normalement et dans des conditions de mauvaises
utilisation raisonnablement prévisibles par le fabricant (voir Article 4).
La présente Norme européenne traite des phénomènes dangereux pouvant survenir durant la mise en service,
le fonctionnement, le nettoyage, le débourrage, l’alimentation, le changement des outils, la maintenance et la mise
hors service de la machine.
1.3 La présente Norme européenne ne s’applique pas aux machines suivantes :
- préparateurs culinaires (voir EN 12852) ;
- éplucheuses à légumes (voir EN 13208) ;
- les accessoires de coupe montés sur des machines ayant une prise de mouvement auxiliaire (voir EN 12851) ;

Stroji za predelavo hrane - Stroji za rezanje zelenjave - Varnostne in higienske zahteve (vključno z dopolnilom A1)

Ta evropski standard določa varnostne in higienske zahteve za načrtovanje in izdelavo strojev za rezanje zelenjave, ki so premični in imajo najvišjo nazivno moč nižjo kot 3kW. Ta evropski standard obravnava stroje, namenjene rezanju, strganju, rezanju v kocke, rezanje na rezine in strganju živil, pri katerih proizvod gre skozi stroj. Kot je opisano v 3.2.1., so vrste strojev, ki jih obravnava, stroji z fiksno posodo in rotirajočim rezilom ali rezilnim diskom, z rotirajočim bobnom in fiksnimi rezili ali stroji s horizontalnimi izmeničnimi rezili (uporaba v glavnem za rezanje krompirja na rezine). Ta evropski standard obravnava vse velike nevarnosti, nevarne situacije in primere, ki se tičejo strojev za rezanje zelenjave, kadar se uporabljajo, kot predvideno, in pod pogoji napačne uporabe, ki jih razumno predvidi proizvajalec (glej Klavzulo 4). Ta evropski standard se ukvarja z nevarnostmi, ki se lahko pojavijo med zagonom, delovanjem, čiščenjem, odstranitvijo blokad hrane, polnjenjem, menjavo orodij, vzdrževanjem in izločitvijo naprave iz uporabe.
