1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for the design and construction of winding,
unwinding and rewinding machines for film or sheet manufactured from rubber, plastics and
composite materials in respect of the significant hazards listed in clause 4.
A winding machine begins at the intake of the film or sheet into the winding machine and ends at the
discharge position of the reel(s).
An unwinding machine begins at the take-up position of the reel(s) and ends at the film or sheet take-
off point.
A rewinding machine begins at the take-up position of the reel(s) and ends at the discharge position of
the reel(s).
In some machines the winding, unwinding and rewinding functions may be combined.
The following functional groups are covered by this European Standard:
 fixed point roll;
 film or sheet tension control;
 winding zone;
 reel change device;
 reel loading and unloading devices;
and the following additional equipment integrated into the winding machine:
 spreader roll device;
 longitudinal cutting unit;
 slitting device;
 film or sheet alignment device;
 static eliminator.
Technical safety requirements for the design and construction of aids for lifting and handling, e.g. of
winding cores or reels, are not covered by this standard.
Technical safety requirements for the design and construction of thickness monitoring devices are not
covered by this standard.
Hazards due to electro-magnetic radiation, e.g. from the use of thickness monitoring devices, are not
covered by this standard.
Toxic or chemical hazards and hazards due to dusts, fumes or gases, which could occur from the
materials being wound are not covered by this standard.
NOTE Directive 94/9/EC concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres can be applicable to the type of machine or equipment covered by this European
Standard. The present standard is not intended to provide means of complying with the essential health and
safety requirements of Directive 94/9/EC.
This standard applies to machines which are manufactured after the date of approval of the standard
by CEN.

 use of suitably located static eliminators.
NOTE For guidance see CENELEC Report R 044-001.
5.1.13 Ergonomics
The machines shall be designed in accordance with EN 614-1:1995, taking into account operating
positions and the need for access to particular zones.
5.1.14 Noise
5.1.14.1 Noise reduction at source by design
Main sources of noise are:
 drive motors;
 power transmission systems;
 pneumatic systems;
 ventilators;
 hydraulic systems;
 control valves;
 pipe lines.
The following measures may, for example, be taken for noise reduction:
 low-noise design;
 enclosures;
 silencers;
 low-noise machinery components e. g. pumps, ventilators, etc.;
 vibration damping;
 sound insulating elements.
When designing the machine, the available information and technical measures to reduce noise at
source shall be taken into account, see for example EN ISO 11688-1:1998.
NOTE EN ISO 11688-2:2000 gives useful information on noise generation mechanisms in machinery.
5.1.14.2 Noise reduction information
The manufacturer shall inform the user in the instruction handbook of measures to reduce noise
further (see 7.2.g)).
5.2 Specific safety requirements and/or protective measures
In addition to 5.1, the safety requirements and/or protective measures in Table 2 shall be complied
with.
Guidance for interpreting Table 2
The arrangement of the columns does not represent any hierarchical order.
 the first column contains the numbering in accordance with 4.1, Table 1.
 the second column contains the danger points/areas dealt with according to 4.1, Table 1.
 the third column contains the hazard(s) applicable to the respective danger points/areas or type
of operation, according to 4.1, Table 1.
 supplements are used in Table 2 where further instruction or information is required in relation to
a particular safety requirement and/or protective measure.
NOTE The supplements are given at the end of Table 2. In the table, the word supplement is abbreviated to
“Supp.”
 an "X" ("cross" sign) in columns "Guards" and "Control devices" identifies the “Protective
measures” which are permitted for the particular danger point/area. They are local protective
measures and at least one of them shall be used for the particular danger point/area. Where
necessary, a "Protective measure" is specified by a value or by a supplement (e.g. “+ Supp. 1”).
If the column "Combination" (abbreviated to “Combi.”) is marked with an "X", then it is permissible
to use the identified “Protective measures” in combination for a particular danger point/area.
See example in annex C for a combination of protective measures for area guarding.
 an "&" ("and" sign) contained in any of the columns identifies an "Obligatory requirement" that
has to be fulfilled in addition to the "Protective measures". If required, this "Obligatory
requirement" is specified by a value or with supplement (e.g. “Supp. 4”).
 the right-hand column contains the "Additional protective measures" that have to be fulfilled.
