and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
#For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are integral parts of this
document.$
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following

Introduction
#This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this document.

When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines
that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.$
1 Scope
1.1 This standard is applicable to lasting machines used in the footwear manufacturing industry, namely:
 Adhesive fore part lasting machines (see figure 1),
 Hand operated adhesive side lasting machines (see figure 3 A),
 Adhesive seat lasting machines (see figure 2),
 Adhesive seat and side lasting machines (see figure 2),
 Hand operated tack/staple side lasting machines (see figure 3B),
 Tack seat lasting machines (see figure 2),
 Tack seat and side thermocement lasting machines (see figure 2),
 Tack heel seat and thermocent side lasting machines (see figure 2),
 Tack heel seat and thermocent + tack side lasting machines (see figure 2).
1.2 This standard does not apply to lasting machines which process granular thermocement.
1.3 This standard specifies requirements for safe design, construction and use of the machines. No specific
requirements are included for transport, commissioning and decommissioning. It takes account of intended
use, foreseeable misuse, component and system failure.
1.4 This standard covers all hazards relevant to the footwear manufacturing industry. The use of machines
within the scope of this standard in different industries may give rise to hazards which were not taken into
account at the time of its preparation.
1.5 #This document is not applicable to lasting machines which are manufactured before the date of its
publication as EN.$
