Portable and/or hand-guided machines are constructed of a machine housing with a motor or pressure cylinder within the housing, or a motor which drives the tool via a flexible drive cable, the tool being hand-held at the place of use or being hand-guided on a movable device. The motor or drive can comprise electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic components. For weight balancing, a suspension unit with a tensioning spring or a counter-balancer can make the work easier for the operator. This equipment is not covered by this European Standard. 1.3 Intended use Portable and/or hand-guided machines are used on suspended or lying, stunned and blood-drained animals for cutting off legs, feet and horns, for cutting out anuses, for skinning, for opening the sternum, for halving, quartering or further cutting carcasses and for removing fat. Although it should be advised against, this European Standard, taking into account practice, deals with the hazards due to cleaning with pressurised water. With the aim of clarifying the intentions of this European Standard and avoiding doubts when reading it, the following assumptions were made for operation: only designated and instructed persons operate the machine, place of use is adequately lit, and the equipment will be used in an environment with hygiene hazards but without other special hazards.

The EN 12984:2005+A1:2010 standard is a critical document that provides comprehensive safety and hygiene requirements for portable and hand-guided machines equipped with mechanically driven cutting tools used in food processing environments. The scope of this standard is well-defined, specifically addressing the safety mechanisms and hygiene protocols necessary when these machines are utilized in slaughterhouses and food preparation areas. One of the key strengths of this standard is its detailed specification of the significant hazards associated with these machines, including those that may arise during commissioning, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning. By analyzing both intended use and reasonable misuse scenarios, the standard facilitates a deeper understanding of potential risks, equipping manufacturers with the necessary guidelines to mitigate these dangers effectively. Moreover, the standard's categorization of machines into tool types-such as saws, shears, pincers, and knives-enhances its usability. This structured approach allows users to easily navigate through the various types of machines while ensuring that all relevant safety requirements are addressed. The inclusion of illustrations, such as those detailing circular saws and band saws, further supports clarity and helps users envision the tools in context. The relevance of EN 12984:2005+A1:2010 cannot be overstated, particularly as it emphasizes hygiene in food processing machinery. As public health standards evolve and regulatory agencies impose stricter food safety requirements, adherence to this standard not only ensures compliance but also enhances the overall safety of food processing operations. Its focus on industry and trade applications underscores its importance within the sectors most affected by machinery safety and hygiene. In summary, the EN 12984:2005+A1:2010 standard serves as an essential framework for the development and regulation of portable and hand-guided machines in the food processing industry, emphasizing safety and hygiene while addressing the specific needs and challenges faced by manufacturers and end-users alike.
La norme EN 12984:2005+A1:2010, intitulée "Machines de transformation des aliments - Machines et appareils portables et/ou guidés à la main équipés d'outils coupants entraînés mécaniquement - Exigences de sécurité et d'hygiène", se révèle un document essentiel pour garantir la sécurité et la conformité hygiénique des équipements utilisés dans l'industrie alimentaire, notamment au sein des abattoirs et des chambres de découpe. Cette norme européenne définit les exigences de conception et de fabrication des machines portables qui utilisent des outils de coupe entraînés par des mécanismes électriquement, hydrauliquement ou pneumatiquement. L'un des points forts de cette norme est sa capacité à couvrir l'ensemble des dangers et situations à risque associés à l'utilisation des machines, qu'elles soient mises en service, en fonctionnement ou en entretien. Cela permet d'assurer une gestion des risques optimale, contribuant ainsi à la sécurité des utilisateurs et à la protection de la qualité des aliments traités. La norme spécifie des catégories d'outils variées, y compris les scies circulaires, les scies à ruban, ainsi que divers types de ciseaux et de couteaux, s'assurant que chaque type d'outil soit adéquatement pris en compte dans le cadre réglementaire. Le fait d'inclure ces différentes catégories d'outils souligne la pertinence de la norme dans le secteur de la transformation alimentaire, en facilitant la standardisation des pratiques et en encourageant l'harmonisation au sein de l'UE. De plus, la norme précise les conditions dans lesquelles ces machines doivent être utilisées et les situations de mauvais usage qui peuvent être raisonnablement anticipées par les fabricants. Cela témoigne d'une approche proactive pour minimiser les risques dès la conception des équipements, ce qui est un aspect crucial pour les opérateurs dans le secteur alimentaire. Enfin, la norme stipule qu’elle ne s'applique pas aux machines fabriquées avant sa publication, ce qui aide à clarifier son champ d'application et à garantir que toutes les nouvelles machines répondent aux exigences de sécurité et d'hygiène contemporaines. En somme, la norme EN 12984:2005+A1:2010 est une référence incontournable pour assurer un niveau de sécurité adéquat et promouvoir les meilleures pratiques d'hygiène dans l'utilisation des machines de transformation des aliments.
Die EN 12984:2005+A1:2010 ist ein bedeutendes europäisches Standarddokument, das sich auf tragbare und/oder handgeführte Maschinen und Geräte mit mechanisch betriebenen Schneidwerkzeugen konzentriert. Der Geltungsbereich dieses Standards ist klar definiert und umfasst Maschinen, die zum Schlachten von Tieren sowie zum Zerteilen von Tierkörpern, Geflügel und anderen Lebensmitteln wie Fisch eingesetzt werden. Diese Maschinen sind vor allem für den Einsatz in Schlachthöfen und Zubereitungsräumen der Lebensmittelindustrie sowie des Handels bestimmt. Ein wesentlicher Stärke des Standards liegt in seiner umfassenden Betrachtung der Sicherheits- und Hygienebedürfnisse. Er legt spezifische Anforderungen für die Konstruktion und Herstellung dieser Maschinen fest, insbesondere für diejenigen, die elektrisch, hydraulisch oder pneumatisch betriebene Schneidwerkzeuge verwenden. Dies ist entscheidend, um Risiken während des Betriebs, der Wartung und der Stilllegung der Maschinen zu minimieren. Darüber hinaus behandelt der Standard signifikante Gefahren und gefährliche Situationen, die beim Einsatz der Maschinen auftreten können, sowohl unter normgerechten Bedingungen als auch unter vorhersehbaren Missbrauchsbedingungen. Die Norm differenziert zwischen verschiedenen Maschinentypen, einschließlich Sägen, Scheren, Zangen und Messern, was eine präzise Zuordnung der Anforderungen an die jeweilige Maschine ermöglicht. Diese Differenzierung hebt die Relevanz der Norm für verschiedene Anwendungen in der Lebensmittelverarbeitung hervor und unterstützt die Hersteller in der Gewährleistung von Sicherheit und Hygiene in ihrer Produktion. Ein weiterer positiver Aspekt der EN 12984:2005+A1:2010 ist, dass sie nicht nur auf die Entwicklung neuer Maschinen abzielt, sondern auch klare Richtlinien für die Maschinen bietet, die nach dem Datum der Veröffentlichung des Standards nicht hergestellt wurden. Dies sorgt für einen gewissenhaften Umgang mit bestehenden Technologien und deren Sicherheitsanforderungen. Insgesamt stellt die EN 12984:2005+A1:2010 einen wichtigen Leitfaden für die Gestaltung und Anwendung tragbarer und handgeführter Maschinen bei der Lebensmittelverarbeitung dar. Ihre umfassenden Anforderungen und Sicherheitsvorschriften sind sowohl für Hersteller als auch für Anwender von großer Bedeutung und tragen zur Verbesserung der Sicherheit und Hygiene in der Lebensmittelbranche bei.
