This document deals with these significant hazards by defining safety requirements and/or measures or by reference to relevant standards. These hazards are listed in Table 2 in accordance with EN ISO 12100:2010, Annex B. If gaseous pollutants occur at the working area, they will be partly removed from the working area by the extraction system for wood dust and chips. However, the gaseous pollutants are not separated by the extraction system for dust and chips. The explosion risk on dust extractors covered by this standard is reduced to a fast combustion only due to the following design properties: — there is just a limited crude air volume compared to the total volume of the dust extractor; — the geometry of the crude air volume hinders the combustion process; — the ratio between surface and volume of the crude air part deflates the combustion process.

In addition, the system shall be designed in accordance with the principles of EN ISO 12100:2010 for hazards relevant but not significant, and which are not dealt with in this document (e.g. sharp edges). For guidance in connection with risk reduction by design, see EN ISO 12100:2010, 6.2 and for safeguarding measures, see EN ISO 12100:2010, 6.3. 5.2 Control systems 5.2.1 Safety and reliability of control systems Control systems shall be designed in compliance with the principles of EN ISO 13849-1. The following safety-relevant functions shall correspond to a minimum performance level (PL) according to EN ISO 13849-1: — emergency stop PL c (see 5.2.2); — mode selection PL b (see 5.2.3); — interlocking of movable guards with hazardous moving parts PL c (see 5.3.1); — interlocking of fire suppression system with: SIST EN 16770:2018

¶ 10 pF, e.g. tension belts for filter hoses, earthing is not necessary. NOTE 4 Conductive or dischargeable filter media are not required for wood dust because the minimum ignition energy of combustible dusts is > 3 mJ. Dust extractors of type C 2 or D according to Annex A shall additionally be equipped with an active ignition source detection and suppression system according to Annex B. Verification: By checking the relevant documentation and visual inspection. 5.4.2 Avoidance of material accumulation in ducting Ducting shall be designed in such a way that accumulation of material does not occur. The conveying air velocity in all parts of the ducting shall be sufficient to avoid accumulation of material in the ducts. Bends, branch ducts, inspection doors, dampers, gate valves, fire-gates etc. integrated in ducting shall not hinder continuous material transportation. NOTE The minimum conveying air velocity depends on the material load, the moisture content, the particle size of the chip and dust.

Dust extractors with a volume of the dust loaded part above 0,8 m3 shall be equipped with a suitable back pressure flap at the inlet (see Figure A.1) that fulfils the following requirements: a) pressure shock resistance higher than or equal to the pressure shock resistance of the dust extractor; SIST EN 16770:2018

· 200 mbar; g) equipped with an automatic fire suppression system (e.g. with water) according to Annex C. In case of the detection of a fire, the fire suppression system shall: 1) activate the fire suppression, 2) stop the fan, 3) stop the filter cleaning device; 4) stop the discharge system. An automatic restart of the dust extractor shall be prevented. Manual activation of the automatic suppression system shall also be possible. The fire suppression system shall work even with activated emergency stop and / or deactivated main switch. The requirements listed in Annex C shall be fulfilled. NOTE The dimension of the fire hose coupling depends on local specifications. For dust extractors of type C 1 according to Annex A, an interlocking of fan and filter cleaning device shall be provided to avoid cleaning during operation of the fan. Verification: By visual inspection, functional testing of the fire suppression system and checking of the relevant drawings. 5.5 Noise 5.5.1 Noise reduction at the design stage Dust extractors shall be designed and constructed so that risks resulting from the emission of airborne noise are reduced to the lowest level taking account of technical progress and the availability of means of reducing noise, in particular at source. NOTE 1 The main noise sources and measures to reduce noise of chip and dust extraction systems are described in Annex D. NOTE 2 According to the current state of the art, it is possible to design extractors so that the A-weighted emission sound pressure level, measured according to the noise test code given in EN ISO 11201:2010, 9.5 without chips and dust does not exceed 75 dB(A).
