Overview
EN 14958:2006+A1:2009 is a CEN (European) standard that specifies safety and hygiene requirements for stationary food processing machinery used to grind and process flour and semolina. It covers machine types such as roller mills, plan sifters and rotary separators, air classifiers, rotating machines and impact machines with a capacity of at least 100 kg/h, intended for use in flour mills, semolina mills, grain cleaning and flaking plants. The standard addresses significant hazards during commissioning, operation, cleaning and maintenance when machines are used as intended or under reasonably foreseeable misuse.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Hazard identification & risk reduction: Lists significant mechanical hazards (crushing, cutting, entanglement, abrasion/impact) and requires appropriate protective measures.
- Mechanical safety: Design and guarding principles to prevent access to danger zones, minimum gaps, interlocks and emergency stop considerations.
- Safety-related control systems: Requirements for control system design and verification to ensure safe operation and machine shutdown.
- Electrical safety & electrostatic phenomena: Protection measures for electrical hazards associated with grain-processing machinery.
- Noise management: Noise measurement and reduction guidance (noise test code in Annex B) to protect operators’ hearing and maintain warning signal intelligibility.
- Dust and hygiene control: Protection against dust emission, cleanability and sanitation principles (normative Annex A), and guidance on harmful substances such as cleaning/disinfecting agents.
- Fire and explosion: Measures and an informative Annex C for evaluating explosion risks in plants that include grain-processing machines.
- Ergonomics and information: Ergonomic requirements, marking, safety signals and comprehensive instruction manuals for use, maintenance and cleaning.
- Verification & documentation: Procedures for verifying the implemented safety measures and providing manufacturer information for conformity assessment.
Practical applications
- Integrating EN 14958 into the design phase ensures machinery meets hygiene and safety expectations for industrial mills.
- Use for risk assessments, machine commissioning checks, operator training, and maintenance planning in flour and semolina production facilities.
- Reference for procurement specifications, conformity assessment, CE marking support and to demonstrate compliance with relevant EU machinery directives (see Annexes ZA/ZB).
Who should use this standard
- Machine designers and manufacturers of flour/semolina processing equipment
- Safety and compliance engineers, notified bodies and certification agencies
- Mill operators, plant managers and maintenance teams
- Food safety and hygiene officers responsible for equipment sanitation
