Overview
EN 12854:2003+A1:2010 is the CEN (European) standard that sets safety and hygiene requirements for beam mixers used in the catering and food-processing industry. Beam mixers are machines that mix or emulsify food directly in cooking pans (e.g., purée, mayonnaise, sauces, soups, compotes). The standard covers hazards arising during commissioning, operation, cleaning, feeding, removal of blockages, tool changes, maintenance and decommissioning. It does not apply to domestic machines or portable hand‑held blenders (see EN 12853), does not address vibration hazards, and is not retroactive to machines manufactured before its publication.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Hazard identification and risk assessment for mechanical, electrical, hygiene, ergonomic and noise risks (type C standard; complements EN ISO 12100 principles).
- Mechanical protection
- Defined hazard zones (rotating tool, drive, hinge, ejection) and protective measures.
- Minimum guarding dimensions (example: distance between rotating part and head-protecting device > 90 mm; vertical clearance > 50 mm).
- Limits on operating positions (operation restricted to a working zone - standard specifies measures for 300–900 mm travel and requirements for hold‑to‑run or interlocked controls during tool transport/change).
- Stability and castor locking requirements; prevention of incorrect tool assembly.
- Control and interlocks
- Interlocking devices to comply with EN 1088.
- Safety-related control parts to meet at least Performance Level c and category 1 per EN ISO 13849-1.
- Electrical safety and EMC
- Equipment to meet EN 60204‑1 provisions, appropriate IP protection for components exposed to water (EN 60529), immunity to foreseeable electromagnetic disturbances.
- Hygiene and cleanability
- Design principles to ensure effective cleaning and prevention of food contamination (Annex B provides cleanability guidance).
- Information on exposure risks to operators (e.g., aerosols from ingredients, cleaning chemicals).
- Noise
- Noise test code and measurement methods included (Annex A; references EN ISO 3744, EN ISO 11201, EN ISO 4871).
Applications
- Use when designing, manufacturing, certifying or procuring commercial beam mixers for professional kitchens, catering manufacturers, food service equipment suppliers and facility operators.
- Practical for machine designers and safety engineers to ensure compliance with EU machinery directives and to reduce contamination, mechanical injuries and electrical hazards.
- Useful for maintenance personnel and technical authors preparing instruction manuals, safety labels and cleaning procedures.
Who should use this standard
- Machine manufacturers and R&D teams
- Safety and compliance officers
- Certification bodies and notified bodies
- Purchasing managers for commercial kitchens
- Installation and maintenance technicians

In the instruction handbook there shall be an explicit requirement for instructions to be given on tool change. For transport, the instructions shall state that the machine shall be locked in a safe position outside the operational area (see Figure 4b).

Any information necessary to achieve the ergonomic objectives which the user shall follow shall be included in the instruction handbook. 5.6 Noise The machines shall be so designed and constructed that risks from airborne noise emission are reduced to low levels by particularly applying measures at source to control noise, see for example EN ISO 11688-1. The success of the applied noise reduction measures is assessed on the basis of the actual noise emission values (see annex A) in relation to other machines of the same family. For these machines the major sound sources are the motor and the rotating blades. SIST EN 12854:2004+A1:2010
