Liquid pumps - Safety requirements - Agrifoodstuffs equipment - Design rules to ensure hygiene in use

This European Standard is concerned with the special technical safety requirements for liquid pumps and pump units operating with agrifoodstuffs. It augments EN 809 and contains a list of the additional significant hazards which can arise from the pump and pump units used with substances intended for human and domestic animal consumption.
In drafting this standard it was assumed that the pumps falling within its scope will conform to all relevant requirement of EN 809.
It also establishes requirements and/or measures which lead to a reduction of the risks.
This standard is not intended to be used for pumps and pump units at any stage in the public water supply, nor for pumps handling pharmaceutical products, nor for any other application for which more appropriate standards can exist.
Conformity to this standard aims to ensure that the pump, if used in accordance with the instruction handbook, will remain safe and, provided it is adequately cleaned, will not cause contamination of the pumped product. Although it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure that the pump can be cleaned, due to the influence of the product, the process and the cleaning regime adopted, the hygiene of the pump should ultimately be the responsibility of the end-user.
The pumps and pump units which fall within the scope of this standard are described as:
-   rotodynamic pumps;
-   rotary positive displacement pumps;
-   reciprocating positive displacement pumps.
Pumps handling agrifoodstuffs which do not fall within this scope should comply with EN 1672-2.

Pompes pour liquides - Prescriptions de sécurité - Matériel agroalimentaire - Règles de conception pour assurer l'hygiène à l'utilisation

La présente Norme européenne traite des prescriptions techniques spéciales de sécurité applicables aux pompes et
groupes motopompes pour liquides utilisés pour des produits agroalimentaires. Elle complète l’EN 809 et comprend
une liste des phénomènes dangereux significatifs supplémentaires qui peuvent être générés par une pompe ou un
groupe motopompe utilisés avec des substances destinées à la consommation humaine ou des animaux
domestiques.
En rédigeant la présente norme il a été supposé que les pompes relevant de son domaine d’application sont
conformes à toutes les prescriptions appropriées de l’EN 809.
La présente norme établit aussi des prescriptions et/ou des mesures qui conduisent à une réduction des risques.
La présente norme n’est pas destinée à être utilisée pour des pompes et groupes motopompes pour
l’approvisionnement public en eau, à quelque stade que ce soit, ni pour les pompes véhiculant des produits
pharmaceutiques, ni pour toute autre application pour laquelle des normes plus appropriées peuvent exister.
La conformité à cette norme a pour objectif d’assurer que la pompe, si elle est utilisée en accord avec la notice
d’instructions reste sans danger et à condition qu’elle soit nettoyée de façon adéquate, ne provoque pas de
contamination du produit pompé. Bien qu’il soit de la responsabilité du fabricant de s’assurer que la pompe puisse
être nettoyée, en raison de l’influence du produit, du procédé et du type de nettoyage adopté, il convient que l’hygiène
de la pompe reste, en fin de compte de la responsabilité de l’utilisateur final.
Les pompes et groupes motopompes qui relèvent du domaine d’application de la présente norme sont :
- les pompes rotodynamiques ;
- les pompes volumétriques rotatives ;
- les pompes volumétriques alternatives.
Il convient que les pompes véhiculant des produits agroalimentaires qui ne relèvent pas de ce domaine d’application
soient conformes à l’EN 1672-2.

5 Hygiene: safety requirements and/or measures The operating conditions and features required of every pump unit falling within the scope of this standard will be either defined by the user in a specification or by the manufacturer description which includes limits of operation. The manufacturer shall assess any foreseeable hazards of hygiene arising from operating conditions where specified of the pump or pump unit. The pump or pump unit shall be designed in such a way as to reduce hazards of this standard to an acceptable level. Specifications shall classify the pumps and units, including auxiliary equipment, according to the levels of cleanability required. It is the purchaser's responsibility to select the levels of cleanability appropriate to the application, taking into account the risks arising from the pumped product, the placement of the pump in the process and the cleaning regime anticipated. Where the means of reducing the risk is by a safe system of working the machinery, the manufacturer shall include in the information for use details of the systems of the element of training required by the operating personnel. 5.1 Materials 5.1.1 Common requirements Materials shall be suitable for intended use. Surfaces of materials and coatings shall be durable, cleanable, without being damaged, and be without breaks, resistant to chipping, flaking, erosion, corrosion and abrasion, and prevent penetration of unwanted matter during intended use. The pump components intended to be dismantled for cleaning shall not be painted. 5.1.2 Food areas 5.1.2.1 Additional requirements In addition to the common requirements set out in 5.1.1, materials used in the food contact area shall be compatible with the pumped product under all foreseeable conditions of use. The compatibility shall not be compromised by the cleaning solutions nor by any disinfection and sterilization treatments specified by the customer. The materials shall be non-absorbant, except where this is technically or functionally unavoidable in which circumstance it shall not reduce the level of safety intended. Operation at intended pressures and product velocities shall not be detrimental to the performance of the materials nor shall temperature give rise to risks from thermal expansion or contraction nor any other thermal degradation. The materials shall be non-toxic and not deleterious to health, and incapable of being dissolved or broken down into elements or compounds which are. Where coatings (metallic or non-metallic) and/or adhesives are used to meet these requirements, the bond shall be and remain continuous. The pumped product shall remain non toxic. Where parts within the pump are subject to wear (for example, mechanical seal rings or close-fitting, rotating rubber components), any wear debris shall be of a size and quantity which is not deleterious to health or to the quality of the pumped product. If abrasive (for example, crystalline or fibrous) foodstuffs will be pumped, the possibility of abrasive wear of the surfaces should be considered and the choice of material subject to agreement between customer and supplier. The manufacturer shall define the safe working value of NPSHR/NPIPR to avoid damage to the material surfaces from cavitation erosion. SIST EN 13951:2004+A1:2008


0,08 %  Cr ≥ 13 %  Ni ≥ 8% Other stainless steels such as duplex stainless steels are often used in pumps. A typical specification for duplex stainless steel is: Cr 22 % Ni 5 %. NOTE 2 Consideration should be given to designating stainless steels in accordance with EN10088 –1. 5.1.2.3 Plastics and elastomers All plastic materials used shall be produced only from monomers according to EU regulation (see annex A) and shall conform to the general requirements of this standard. All elastomeric materials used shall conform to the general requirements of this standard and take into account the informat
