Rubber and plastics machines - Safety - Blow moulding machines intended for the production of hollow articles - Requirements for the design and construction
This standard covers essential health and safety requirements for the design of blow moulding machines for the processing of plastics. The significant hazards inherent in blow moulding machines* are listed in Clause 4. Health and safety requirements for extruders, or injection moulding machines which may be a part of blow moulding machines are not covered by this standard. For these machines see prEN 1114-1 and EN 201. The safety requirements for the interaction between blow moulding machines and ancillary equipment are stipulated. The technical safety requirements for the design of this equipment are not covered. The standard does not cover the requirements for the design of the exhaust system. This standard applies primarily to moulding machines manufactured after the date of publication of this standard. * The standard cannot be applied to lines blowing films.
