Overview
EN 13042-1:2007+A1:2009 (CEN) is the European safety standard for gob feeders used in the manufacture, treatment and processing of hollow glass. It applies to the design and installation of gob feeders that supply hollow‑glass forming machines with gobs, and addresses the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events that can arise during commissioning, operation and maintenance when machines are used as intended or under reasonably foreseeable misuse. The standard excludes bowl firing and does not apply retroactively to gob feeders manufactured before its publication.
Key topics and requirements
EN 13042-1 focuses on practical safety measures and contains requirements and guidance on:
- Risk assessment and identification of significant hazards specific to gob feeders (mechanical, electrical, thermal, ergonomic and material-generated hazards).
- Starting, stopping and prevention of unexpected start‑up, including remote starts and stop latching devices to prevent automatic restart.
- Emergency‑stop (E‑stop) design and accessibility in accordance with EN ISO 13850.
- Guarding and access protection for moving parts, shears, chains, belts and pulleys to prevent crushing, entanglement and drawing‑in.
- Lockout/blocking of shears and safe procedures for maintenance and exchange of expendables.
- Hydraulic/pneumatic systems safety and high‑pressure fluid hazards (note: ejection risks identified for systems above 50 bar).
- Electrical safety and energy isolation in line with EN 60204‑1 and related requirements for safety‑related control systems (the document references performance requirements such as PL c under EN ISO 13849‑1 where applicable).
- Hot surfaces and glass flow safeguarding, refractory handling (quick‑release chucks, lifting devices) and measures to reduce burn and puncture risks.
- Verification, testing and information for use, including marking and instruction handbook content for safe installation, operation and maintenance.
Practical applications & users
This standard is intended for:
- Manufacturers and designers of gob feeders and hollow glass forming lines who must design equipment that meets European safety requirements.
- Safety engineers and compliance teams preparing CE marking and conformity documentation under the Machinery Directive (see informative annexes relating to EU directives).
- Plant integrators and maintenance personnel responsible for safe installation, commissioning, operation and servicing of gob feeders.
- Procurement and quality managers specifying safety features in new equipment purchases.
Using EN 13042-1 helps reduce workplace injuries, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve safe interoperability between gob feeders and hollow‑glass forming machines.
