Plastics and rubber machines - Internal mixers - Safety requirements
This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant to the design and construction of internal mixers during all phases of the machine life cycle (see EN ISO 12100:2010, 5.4), irrespective of their size and of the control modes of the feeding door and discharge door, for production and laboratory applications, when the machines are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex A).
An internal mixer for production and a tandem mixer with manual feeding begins at the feeding door and ends at the lower edge of the material discharge opening.
An internal mixer for production and a tandem mixer with automatic feeding begins at the conveyor, which is an integral part of the machine, and ends at the lower edge of the material discharge opening.
A laboratory internal mixer begins at the feeding door and ends at the material container, which is an integral part of the mixer.
With regard to noise emission measurement and declaration, only laboratory mixers are covered.
Explosion hazards are not dealt with in this document.
NOTE Internal mixers usually do not produce explosive atmospheres. Where materials are processed, which may cause an explosive atmosphere, the Directive 2014/34/EU on the Equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX) can be applied.

The EN 12013:2018 standard provides comprehensive guidelines for the safety requirements related to internal mixers used in plastics and rubber machinery. This European Standard is particularly significant because it addresses key hazards throughout the entire life cycle of internal mixers, ensuring that manufacturers can design and construct equipment that meets rigorous safety protocols. One of the notable strengths of EN 12013:2018 is its inclusive scope, which applies to both production and laboratory internal mixers. By specifying the boundaries of measurement-from the feeding door to the discharge opening for production mixers and the container for laboratory mixers-it offers clear guidelines that enhance user understanding and compliance. This clarity helps mitigate risks during both standard operations and foreseeable misuses, which is crucial for creating safer workplace environments. Moreover, the standard emphasizes the importance of noise emission for laboratory internal mixers, acknowledging the relevance of auditory safety in conjunction with mechanical safety. Although it does not cover exhaust systems or explosion hazards, this focus on noise emissions is indicative of a broader commitment to user welfare. The standard also logically excludes internal mixers produced before its publication, ensuring that all operational equipment adheres to the most current safety norms, which reflects a proactive approach to industry safety standards. Overall, EN 12013:2018 is relevant in today's manufacturing landscape, where safety, compliance, and operational efficiency are paramount. By standardizing safety requirements for internal mixers, this document plays a crucial role in helping manufacturers produce equipment that is not only effective but also safe for end users.
SIST EN 12013:2018 표준은 플라스틱 및 고무 기계의 내부 믹서와 관련된 안전 요구 사항을 다루고 있으며, 기계의 모든 생애 주기 동안 고려해야 할 주요 위험 및 위험 상황을 체계적으로 정리하고 있습니다. 이 표준은 크기나 제어 방식에 관계없이 설계 및 제작 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 모든 위험 요소를 포괄적으로 다루고 있어 신뢰성이 높습니다. 특히, 제작 및 실험실 응용 프로그램에서 의도된 사용 조건과 예측 가능한 오용 조건에서 내부 믹서의 사용에 관한 명확한 지침을 제공하는 점이 강점으로 작용합니다. 예를 들어, 생산용 내부 믹서의 자동 및 수동 공정에서 시작 및 종료 지점을 명확히 규정하고 있어 사용자에게 직관적인 이해를 제공합니다. 이 표준은 소음 배출 측정 및 선언과 관련하여 실험실 믹서에 한정되어 있어 특정한 사용 환경에 대한 명확한 기준을 제공함으로써 내구성과 안전성을 중시하는 산업 환경에서의 중요성을 부각시킵니다. 하지만 폭발 위험에 대한 사항은 다루지 않고 있으며, 이는 특정한 물질 사용 시 해당 표준 외의 규정을 적용해야 함을 시사합니다. SIST EN 12013:2018은 기계의 생애 주기를 전반적으로 아우르는 안전 기준을 갖추고 있어, 플라스틱 및 고무 산업에서 내부 믹서를 사용할 때 필수적으로 참고해야 할 문서입니다. 이러한 표준은 관련 산업에 있어 안전하고 효율적인 운영을 지원하는 데 큰 도움이 될 것입니다.
SIST EN 12013:2018の標準は、プラスチックおよびゴム製造機械の内部ミキサーにおける安全要件に関する包括的な指針を提供しています。この欧州標準は、機械のライフサイクルのすべての段階における設計および構造に関連する重要な危険、危険な状況、または危険なイベントに焦点を当てています。特に、製造および実験室用途のために意図された使用条件と、製造者が合理的に予見できる誤用条件下での使用に対応しています。 この標準の強みは、その適用範囲の広さにあり、サイズや供給ドアおよび排出ドアの制御方式に関係なく、さまざまな内部ミキサーに対する具体的な安全要件を示しています。また、標準には、音響エミッションの測定と宣言についての規定が含まれており、特に実験室の内部ミキサーに焦点を当てている点が際立っています。 さらに、内部ミキサーが通常は爆発性雰囲気を生じることがないことに対して、別途ATEX指令を参照することで安全性が高められています。このように、SIST EN 12013:2018は、内部ミキサーの設計・製造において遵守すべき重要な安全基準を提示し、リスクを管理するための効果的なフレームワークを提供しています。 一方で、爆発の危険や排気システムには言及されていないため、使用するユーザーは、これらの要素についても留意する必要があります。最後に、この標準はその発行日以前に製造された内部ミキサーには適用されないため、新しい機械設計に対するガイドラインとしての関連性を維持しています。標準の完全な整備は、製造業界の安全向上に寄与する価値ある文書となっています。
Die EN 12013:2018 ist eine grundlegende europäische Norm, die sich mit den Sicherheitsanforderungen an Innenmischer in der Kunststoff- und Gummimaschinenbranche beschäftigt. Ihr Anwendungsbereich erstreckt sich über alle wesentlichen Gefahren, Gefahrenzustände oder gefährlichen Ereignisse, die für die Konstruktion und Gestaltung von Innenmischern relevant sind. Dies geschieht in allen Phasen des Lebenszyklus der Maschine, was die Norm besonders umfassend und relevant macht. Eine der größten Stärken der EN 12013:2018 ist der klare Fokus auf die Sicherheit während des gesamten Lebenszyklus der Maschinen, unabhängig von ihrer Größe oder den Steuerungsarten der Zufuhr- und Entladeöffnungen. Dies gewährleistet, dass sowohl Maschinen, die in der Produktion als auch im Labor eingesetzt werden, unter den vorgesehenen Bedingungen und in vernünftiger Weise missbraucht werden können, ohne dass Sicherheitsrisiken auftreten. Der umfassende Ansatz der Norm stellt sicher, dass die Maschinenbenutzer und -hersteller wichtige Sicherheitsleitsätze befolgen, die das Risiko gefährlicher Situationen erheblich minimieren. Die Norm berücksichtigt zudem spezifische Aspekte wie die Messung und Erklärung der Geräuschemissionen, die jedoch ausschließlich für Labor-Mischer gelten, und stellt damit zusätzliche Anforderungen an die Geräuschreduzierung in einem Laborumfeld. Dies zeigt die Relevanz der Norm in modernen Produktionsbedingungen, wo Lärm- und Sicherheitsschutz gleichermaßen wichtig sind. Es ist auch erwähnenswert, dass die EN 12013:2018 klarstellt, dass explosive Gefahren nicht Gegenstand dieses Dokuments sind, da Innenmischer in der Regel keine explosiven Atmosphären erzeugen. Für Anwendungen, wo dies gegeben sein könnte, verweist die Norm auf die entsprechende europäische Richtlinie 2014/34/EU (ATEX) für die Verwendung in potenziell explosiven Atmosphären, was die umfassende Berücksichtigung der Sicherheitsanforderungen unterstreicht. Die EN 12013:2018 ist somit eine essenzielle Norm für alle Hersteller und Betreiber von Innenmischern in der Kunststoff- und Gummibranche, da sie nicht nur Sicherheit gewährleistet, sondern auch für eine verbesserte Leistung und Effizienz der Maschinen sorgt.
La norme SIST EN 12013:2018 traite des exigences de sécurité relatives aux machines à plastiques et caoutchouc, en particulier les mélangeurs internes. Son champ d'application est exhaustif et couvre toutes les situations dangereuses significatives qui pourraient survenir durant le cycle de vie des mélangeurs internes, qu'ils soient destinés à des applications de production ou de laboratoire. Cela inclut les phases de conception et de construction, en prenant en compte les modes de contrôle des portes de chargement et de déchargement. Un des points forts de cette norme est sa capacité à s'appliquer à différentes configurations de mélangeurs internes, qu'ils soient alimentés manuellement ou automatiquement. Cela permet une grande flexibilité d'utilisation tout en garantissant que les exigences de sécurité sont respectées. De plus, la norme précise très clairement que seules les machines fabriquées après sa publication sont concernées, ce qui en assure la pertinence par rapport aux développements technologiques récents. Un autre aspect essentiel est qu'elle aborde de manière spécifique les nuisances sonores, mais cela ne s'applique qu'aux mélangeurs de laboratoire, renforçant ainsi l'importance de la protection des opérateurs dans des environnements expérimentaux. En revanche, la norme ne traite pas des dangers d'explosion, ce qui est noté, mais souligne également que, dans la plupart des cas, les mélangeurs internes ne génèrent pas d'atmosphères explosives. En résumé, la norme SIST EN 12013:2018 représente une avancée significative en matière de sécurité pour les machines à plastiques et caoutchouc, avec un équilibre entre une large couverture des dispositifs concernés et une spécificité dans les exigences conformément à différents modes d'utilisation. Cette standardisation garantit une meilleure protection des utilisateurs tout en répondant aux attentes de l'industrie.
