Food processing machinery - Intermediate provers - Safety and hygiene requirements
This standard specifies safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of intermediate provers with moving pocket carriers !as described in Clause 3" used in the food industry, pastry-making, bakeries, etc. for giving a resting time to dough between dividing and moulding processes.
!This European Standard specifies all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the installation, adjustment, operation, cleaning, maintenance, dismantling, disabling and scrapping of intermediate provers with moving pocket carriers when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4)."
The significant hazards covered by the standard are mechanical (shearing, trapping, cutting, loss of stability), electrical, ergonomic and also those resulting from inhalation of flour dust and lack of hygiene.
Noise is not considered to be a significant hazard from intermediate provers. This does not mean that the manufacturer of the machine is absolved from reducing noise and making a noise declaration. Therefore a noise test code is proposed in Annex B.
!deleted text"
The following machines are excluded:
- rack provers;
- experimental and testing machines under development by the manufacturer.
!This standard is not applicable to intermediate provers with moving pocket carriers which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN."

Stroji za predelavo hrane - Komore za vmesno počivanje testa - Varnostne in higienske zahteve (vključno z dopolnilom A1)
Ta standard določa varnostne in higienske zahteve za načrtovanje in proizvodnjo komor za vmesno počivanje testa s premikajočimi se nosilci s košaricami, kot opisano v klavzuli 3, ki se uporabljajo v prehrambeni industriji, pri izdelavi peciva, v pekarnah itd., ter zagotavljajo počivanje testa med postopkom deljenja in gnetenja. Ta evropski standard določa vse velike nevarnosti, nevarne situacije in dogodke, pomembne za postavitev, prilagoditev, delovanje, čiščenje, vzdrževanje, razstavljanje, izklapljanje in uničenje komor za vmesno počivanje testa s premikajočimi se nosilci kotlov, kadar se uporabljajo, kot je predvideno in pod pogoji napačne uporabe, ki jih razumno predvidi proizvajalec. Velike nevarnosti, zajete s tem standardom, so mehanske (striženje, priščipnjenje, rezanje in izguba stabilnosti), električne, ergonomske in prav tako tiste, ki so posledica vdihavanja prahu moke in pomanjkanja higiene. Hrup ne šteje kot velika nevarnost iz komor za vmesno počivanje testa. To ne pomeni, da je proizvajalec stroja oproščen zmanjševanja hrupa in priprave označbe hrupa. Zato je preskusna koda hrupa predlagana v Dodatku B. Izvzeti so naslednji stroji: - komore za počivanje testa s košaricami in preskusni stroji, ki jih razvija proizvajalec. Ta standard ne velja za komore za vmesno počivanje testa s premikajočimi se nosilci s košaricami, ki so izdelane pred datumom njegove objave v obliki EN.

As shown in Figure 1, an intermediate prover consists of: a variable number of fixed or hinged pockets supported in a carrier into which dough pieces are loaded. One pocket may hold more than one dough piece; a mechanical transfer system moving the pocket carrier along a fixed path inside the machine; a frame supporting or containing the transmission machinery." The following features may also be included: an automatic device to control the temperature and/or humidity inside the machine; a flour dusting device; SIST EN 12043:2002+A1:2011

4.3 Electrical hazards Hazard of electric shock from direct or indirect contact with live components. Hazard of external influences on electrical equipment (e.g. cleaning with water). 4.4 Hazards resulting from inhalation of dust Use of flour dusters may expose operators to dust including flour and ingredients which may be harmful to their health, causing rhinitis (running noses), watering eyes and possibly occupational asthma. 4.5 Hazard generated by neglecting hygienic design principles The neglection of hygienic principles can create unacceptable modification of foodstuff and therefore a risk to human health, i.e. through physical, chemical or microbial pollution. 4.6 Hazards generated by neglecting ergonomic principles During operation, cleaning and maintenance, there is a risk of injury or chronic damage to the body resulting from awkward body postures. SIST EN 12043:2002+A1:2011
In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100-2 for relevant but not significant hazards, which are not dealt with by this document. The safety related parts of the control systems shall meet at least category 1 of 6.2.2 of EN 954-1:1996 or present at least a performance level c defined in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1:2008. When fixed guards, or parts of the machine acting as such, are not permanently fixed e.g. by welding, their fixing systems shall remain attached to the guards or to the machinery when the guards are removed." 5.2 Mechanical hazards Where reference is made to interlocking devices, they shall comply with 4.2.1 and clauses 5 and 6 of !EN 1088:1995+A2:2008". Where the interlocking mechanism has movable parts, e.g. position switches, these shall be protected from contamination with dough or dry ingredients, e. g. by mounting them within the machine body. Alternatively, magnetic switches may be used if total removal of any guard is required. Where switches may be exposed to water, e.g. during cleaning, they shall be protected to an appropriate IP rating (EN 60529: 1991, e. g. IPX5). !deleted text" 5.2.1 Zone 1: Zone of loading and unloading of the dough portions 5.2.1.1 The risk of trapping the arm between the moving pocket carrier and the fixed edges of the loading or unloading openings shall be prevented by any of the following: ensuring the distance between the fixed edge of the opening and the nearest rigid part of the pocket carrier is a minimum of 120 mm (see Figures 2 a) and 2b); providing a pressure sensitive trip bar or wire (see !EN 1760-2") covering the opening where the trapping may occur (see Figure 2 c) with a stopping time less than or equal to 1 s; ensuring the force required to stop the motion of the pocket carrier does not exceed 150 N either loaded or unloaded; this could be achieved e.g. by a torque limiting device; where pocket carrier movement is not continuous, the pressure sensitive bar or wire is not required. The indexing movement may be controlled by a timer or the operation of a manual control device. This method can only be used where both the loading and the unloading area are visible from the position of the control device. 5.2.1.2 The risk of trapping between adjacent descending and ascending pocket carriers shall be prevented by any of the following: ensuring the distance between the axis of the ascending pocket and the axis of the descending pocket carrier is a minimum of 200 mm (see Figure 2 d)); SIST EN 12043:2002+A1:2011

The machines shall have sufficient immunity to electromagnetic disturbances to enable them to operate safely as intended and not fail to danger when exposed to the levels and types of disturbances intended by the manufacturer. The manufacturer of the machines shall design, install and wire the equipment and sub-assemblies taking into account the recommendations of the suppliers of these sub-assemblies. 5.3.3 Protection against electric shock The electrical equipment shall comply with Clause 6 of EN 60204-1:2006. 5.3.4 Power circuits Devices for detection and interruption of over-current
