Overview
EN 14930:2007+A1:2009 is a CEN European standard that defines a test method to determine the inadvertent accessibility of hot surfaces on combustion engine driven pedestrian‑controlled and hand‑held machines used in agriculture, forestry and gardening. Intended to be used together with product‑specific (type C) standards, it helps identify surfaces that an operator can unintentionally touch during normal operation and that may cause skin burns.
Keywords: EN 14930, hot surfaces, pedestrian controlled, hand‑held machines, agricultural machinery, forestry machinery, gardening equipment, machine safety.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: Applies only when referenced by product‑specific standards for the machine categories listed; it does not itself specify which surfaces must be assessed.
- Identification of touchable surfaces: Uses a standardized test cone to probe accessibility - mark all areas reachable by the cone tip or conical surface.
- Temperature measurement:
- Use a contact thermometer with a metal contact sensor (accuracy ±2 °C).
- Measure under controlled conditions: ambient 20 °C ±5 °C, air speed ≤ 5 m/s, machine stationary but tools operating at maximum engine speed, and temperatures stabilised.
- Correct measured temperature TM to reference temperature T with: T = TM − (TA − 20).
- Assessment against burn limits: Mark surfaces whose temperature exceeds burn threshold values for up to 0.5 s contact as hot surfaces (threshold values are taken from EN 13202).
- Area limits and interrupted surfaces:
- A marked hot surface fails if the recorded area is larger than 10 cm².
- Rules for interrupted or perforated surfaces: multiple separate areas whose summed area is ≥ 80% of the marked area are treated as one; holes totaling ≤ 20% of the marked area do not interrupt it. Surfaces that block a 2 mm ball from penetrating more than 2 mm are considered continuous.
Applications
- Manufacturers and designers: integrate results into machine design to reduce burn risk (guards, shields, insulation, warning labels).
- Test laboratories and conformity bodies: perform standardized accessibility and temperature tests to support CE marking and conformity with EU machinery directives (e.g., 2006/42/EC).
- Safety engineers and product managers: evaluate residual risks and document compliance in technical files.
- Standards writers: reference EN 14930 when defining product‑specific hot‑surface assessment requirements.
Related Standards (if applicable)
- EN 13202:2000 - guidance on surface temperature limits and human response to touch.
- EN ISO 12100 - general safety principles and terminology for machinery design.
- Annexes in EN 14930 include a flowchart and informative relationships to EU Directives (98/37/EC, 2006/42/EC).
EN 14930 is a practical, test‑based method to identify and quantify hot surface hazards on hand‑held and pedestrian‑controlled machines, helping stakeholders meet safety and regulatory obligations.
