EN 12409:1999

EN 12409:1999 is a standard published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Its full title is "Rubber and plastics machines - Thermoforming machines - Safety requirements". This standard covers: This standard specifies the essential safety requirements for the design and construction of thermoforming machines, for continuous sheet and single sheets, of all types. Significant hazards are listed in clause 4 and specific safety requirements and/or measures are listed in clause 5. A thermoforming machine may consist of one or more units linked together. This standard covers the following units: - continuous sheet unwind unit; - single sheet feed unit; - material intake; - conveying equipment; - heating unit; - preheating unit; - edge heating unit; - forming station; - finishing station; - stacking station; - discharge station; - residual sheet winding unit; - sheet cutting unit. This standard does not apply to units mounted upstream or downstream of the thermoforming machine and - which have a separate control and/or - are located separately and/or - have their own material intake This standard does not apply to units which are integrated into form, fill and seal machines. These are covered in prEN 415-3:1996. This standard does not apply to units which incorporate heating systems which are fuelled by gas. This standard applies to machines which are manufactured after the date of approval by CEN.
