In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of !EN ISO 12100-2:2003" for hazards relevant but not significant which are not dealt with by this standard. When required, further specification will be given in the machine-specific parts as listed in annex A of this standard. SIST EN 1034-1:2000+A1:2010
EN ISO 12100-2:2003". Guards shall be designed and selected in compliance with EN 953, interlocking guards with EN 1088, electro-sensitive protective devices with EN 61496-1 and pressure sensitive mats with EN 1760-1. !Guards and protective devices shall be securely held in place in accordance with 5.4.2 and 5.5 of
EN 953:1997. Fixed guards that have to removed periodically for maintenance (e.g. the guards on wrapping points of rolls for changing clothing) shall be constructed in such a way that their fixing systems remain attached to the guards or to the machinery when the guards are removed. An example is shown in Figure 11 of EN 953:1997. Where possible, guards shall be constructed in such a way that they also protect against ejected or falling materials and objects. Where possible, guards shall be constructed in such a way that they also protect against emissions generated by the machinery, for example against noise." 5.1.2 Movable guards for safeguarding danger points shall be designed as interlocking guards with guard locking or as interlocking guard without guard locking (see !3.6 or 3.5 of EN 953:1997"). 5.1.3 On fence-type enclosures equipped with interlocking doors, it shall be possible to open the doors from inside the enclosed area at any time so that persons locked in can escape from the danger zone. 5.1.4 Nip bars shall be so designed and mounted that they are able to maintain their safeguarding function even under mechanical stresses, vibration and heat. When forces of 1000 N are applied in the middle, the gap ‘a’ in figure 3 shall not be wider than 8 mm. 5.2 Safety devices on power transmission elements Danger points on power transmission elements shall be protected by fixed guards or interlocking guards with or without guard locking. Guards shall be arranged as close to the danger point as possible such as to prevent access from all sides. Where this is not possible, fence-type enclosures shall be arranged at a safety distance in accordance with !Table 2 and Table B.1 of EN ISO 13857:2008". Table 2 shall be taken into account when selecting the proper type of guarding for power transmission elements. SIST EN 1034-1:2000+A1:2010
Power transmission element Type of guarding Individual shafts, universal-joint shafts, belt drives fixed guard according to 3.2.1 of EN 953:1997

5.3 Avoiding crushing hazards In order to avoid crushing hazards between fixed parts and machine parts that are moved in a lateral direction, the minimum distances specified in EN 349 shall be applied. Crushing hazards can also be avoided by limiting the forces applied at the crushing point to a non-hazardous level such that the movement can be stopped by reactive body force. NOTE As long as there is no relevant standard to refer to, it is taken that forces of less or equal 150 N generally do not present a risk of injury if it is a low-impulse movement and the contact surfaces are even or padded. 5.4 Drawing-in hazards on cylinders, rollers, rolls, felts, wires 5.4.1 Safety measures on inrunning nips The drawing-in hazards existing on inrunning nips of cylinders, rollers and rolls shall be avoided, wherever possible without restraining machine function, by providing adequate distance between rotating parts and fixed parts. The hazard of the whole body being drawn in is prevented if there is a safety distance of 500 mm between machine parts at the inrunning nip. See figure 1. The hazard of an arm being drawn in is prevented if there is a safe distance of at least 120 mm between machine parts at the inrunning nip. Applying the safety distance for the arm is only allowed if the inrunning nip cannot be reached by the body. Inrunning nips where drawing-in hazards cannot be avoided shall be protected by guards. NOTE This applies, for example, on the press section Suitable guards are: fixed or interlocking nip bars with guard locking according to EN 953 and EN 1088; fixed or interlocking distance guards with guard locking according to EN 953 and EN 1088; SIST EN 1034-1:2000+A1:2010
The gap between the guard and rotating machine parts should be as small as possible and shall not be more than 8 mm. The corner between the outer surface of the guard protecting the inrunning nip and the tangent line of the roller surface shall be obtuse or right angled. See figure 3. For guards that are not arranged directly on the inrunning nip, the distances listed in table 2 of
!EN ISO 13857:2008" shall apply. The following points shall be taken account of: The relevant distance „c“ between the guarding element and the danger area according to figure 2 of !EN ISO 13857:2008" is, when applied to inrunning nips, identical with the distance between guarding element and that plane in the inrunning nip where the distance „e“ is equal or more than 25 mm between the roller surfaces or between roller surface and fixed part. See figure 4.

Figure 4 — Example of distance guard protecting an inrunning nip. For values of a, b, c see figure 2 and table 2 of !EN ISO 13857:2008". e ≥ 25 mm 5.4.2 Safety measures on wrapping points
Wrapping points of felts, wires and tapes which are within the operator's reach shall be safeguarded by fixed guards. Preference shall be given to guards mounted directly on the wrapping point and thus preventing access. Where this is not possible or feasible, guards shall be mounted with safety distances according to
!EN ISO 13857:2008". Wrapping points which are accessible from passageways in the machine shall be protected by fixed guards machine-wide (see figure 5). 5.4.3 Instruction handbook The instruction handbook shall identify inrunning nips and wrapping points and describe their safeguarding. The instruction handbook shall also give instructions as to the proper fixing of guards after maintenance or felt changing.
a) front access b) side access
c) on felt guide roller d) on rope pulley f) fixed guard Figure 5 — Example of guard at wrapping point 5.5 Workplaces, access stairs, catwalks, passageways 5.5.1 For operating, make-ready, trouble-shooting as well as maintenance operations, work platforms including their access stairs and passageways shall be provided. Work platforms shall have adequate slip resistance and stability, protection against persons falling off as well as protection against mechanical and chemical effects including hazards from corrosion in the wet section. Platforms shall be designed both for a surface load of 5000 N/m² minimum and against vibration effects. 5.5.2 Access to stationary work platforms shall be selected and designed according to the specification given in table 3. The normal type of access to be provided is type 1. Type 1 access stairs have pitch angles of between 30° and 45°. SIST EN 1034-1:2000+A1:2010

Where type 1 access stairs cannot be used for productional reasons, type 2 access stairs shall be used or, where type 2 stairs are also not possible for technical reasons, type 3 stairs can be selected. Technical reasons can, for example, exist: a) where access stairs would unduly restrict the passage; b) where a connection is required between two adjacent workplaces of different height; c) where stairs would impede access to the machine for trouble shooting. For safe treading on any kind of access facility, steps are required to have a uniform height and depth, including the first and the last step. The maximum height of type 1 and type 2 access stairs shall be 4,00 m. Higher stairs shall be provided with an intermediate platform. 5.5.3 Type 2 access stairs described under 5.5.2 can have a pitch angle in the range of 45° to 70°. Pitch angles in excess of 60° should be avoided. Type 2 stairs with a height of more than 1,00 m shall be provided with two handrails for fall-off protection. The height of the handrail shall be 0,90 m above front edge of the tread. Intermediate rails are to be provided where the clearance below the handrail more than 0,50 m. See figure 6.

" Figure 6 — Access stairs type 2 5.5.4 Platform surfaces shall be slip resistant and avoid tripping hazards. 5.5.5 Covers on floor openings shall be capable of supporting possible traffic loads and shall be laid flush with the floor surface. It shall not be possible to unintentionally change the position of the cover nor shall projecting edges be caused by buckling or bending of the cover. SIST EN 1034-1:2000+A1:2010
In deviation, the height of safeguarding facilities against falling off can be less than 1,10 m where space available is restricted for operational reasons. In such cases, additional measures for fall-off protection shall be taken such as the provision of cranked rails. Railings shall be provided with a toe board designed in such a way as to prevent any person from slipping underneath the handrail. This can be achieved by fitting an intermediate rail with a maximum distance of 0,50 m between handrail and intermediate rail or between intermediate rail and toe board. The maximum distance between the outer railing elements and the adjacent fall-off protection elements such as individual railing elements, walls, frames, handrails on stairs shall not exceed 0,12 m. On working platforms with a falling height in the range of 0,60 m and 1,00 m, handrails shall be provided wherever possible without impeding productional or operational procedures. 5.5.8 Railings interrupted due to access to the work platform and catwalks having a falling height of more than 2,00 m shall be safeguarded against persons falling off. Danger of falling exists where access is via access stairs type 2 or type 3 according to 5.5.2. The risk of falling is considerably reduced where an intermediate platform is provided between access stairs and platform or catwalk or where access is from the narrow end of a catwalk. Safeguarding interrupted railings can be effected for example by automatically closing doors which open only in the direction of the work platforms or catwalk. Chains are no suitable means of safeguarding against persons falling off. 5.5.9 Stationary working platforms and their access stairs, catwalks and passageways shall have a clearance height of 2,00 m minimum. Where this height cannot be used for constructional reasons, the risk of injury shall be reduced by paddings and danger warning. 5.6 Start-up warning device 5.6.1 On machines where there is not a clear view of all work positions or where mutual communication is difficult, a start-up warning device shall be provided. Machinery that consists of several sections and where viewing and communication is difficult, a warning signal shall be issued prior to the start-up of each section. Start-up warning shall be made by an audible signal which can be supported by a visual signal. See EN 457. 5.6.2 The start-up warning device shall comply with !the Safety Integrity Level SIL 1 of EN 62061:2005 or the Performance Level PL c of EN ISO 13849-1:2008" unless otherwise required for the specific machines listed in annex A. The start-up warning device shall be coupled to the control element for starting the machine in such a way that between start of the warning signal and start-up of the machine there is sufficient time for persons to evacuate to a safe area.
Readiness of the machine to be started begins after elapse of the signal and the waiting time and ends after elapse of the release time. The waiting time is counted from the end of the signal. Start-up warnings are classified into categories A, B and C according to the table below. SIST EN 1034-1:2000+A1:2010
< 30 C 1 to 3 3
< 15
The machine-specific parts of this standard as listed in annex A of the present standard specify the category to be selected for the specific machine. Where no stipulations are made, category A shall be applied. 5.6.3 The function and handling of start-up warning devices shall be described in the instruction handbook. 5.7 Emergency stop devices Machines shall be equipped with an emergency stop device as defined in !5.5.2 of
EN ISO 12100-2:2003". The device shall satisfy the requirements of !EN ISO 13850" and EN 60204-1. It shall act on all hazardous movements of the machine. Emergency stop devices shall be sited within easy reach of the operator and shall be with a maximum distance of 15 m from any point on the machine. Emergency stop devices shall also be sited a) at every operator station; b) alongside the operating and drive sides; c) in machine pits; d) in all areas where access is required, for example for removing broke. Emergency stop devices shall be designed to take into account the fact that running with the rolls separated is likely to increase the dangers rather than to reduce them. For that reason, the opening of the roll nips in the course of an emergency function shall be possible only when the hazard of being drawn in has ceased to exist which in practical terms means the rotational movement has stopped. !The emergency stop function shall be available and operational at all times, regardless of the operating mode. Emergency stop devices shall be designed to back-up other safeguarding measures and not to substitute them." 5.8 Isolation and energy dissipation, prevention of unexpected start-up 5.8.1 For maintenance and inspection, adequate means shall be provided for isolation and dissipation of energy. They shall satisfy the requirements of EN 1037, 5.3 of !EN 60204-1:2006", EN 982, EN 983, and !5.5.4 of EN 12100-2:2003". Actuating devices for energy isolation shall be capable of being locked in the "isolated" position. Locking devices shall be designed such as to allow, where required, the provision of multiple padlock or key systems in accordance with 5.2 of EN 1037:1995. Means for energy isolation and dissipation are listed in table 5, classified according to type of energy: SIST EN 1034-1:2000+A1:2010

Supply disconnecting devices for electrical energy with voltages up to 1 kV are described in EN 60204-1. For voltages above 1 kV, isolating devices also need to provide an all-pole disconnection from the supply. Switching contact clearances shall be appropriate to ensure isolating for specific voltages. Switching/disconnecting devices shall be designed such that the risk of interference arcs is minimi
