Machines and installations for the exploitation and processing of natural stone - Safety - Part 1: Requirements for stationary diamond wire saws
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, as listed in Annex A, which are relevant to stationary diamond wire saws (stationary diamond mono-wire saws and stationary diamond multi-wire saws), as defined in Clause 3.
Stationary diamond wire saws may be used in quarries or in sawmill for cutting natural stones (e.g. marble, granite), when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex A).
This document deals only with stationary diamond wire saws using coated diamond wire as tool.
This document specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards.
This document deals all significant hazards that may occur within the expected lifetime of the machinery including the phases of transport, assembly, dismantling, disabling and scrapping.
This document does not deal with the significant hazards arising by the use of other facilities/devices not described in this document, that may be fitted on the machines or that may be used during the work cycle.
This document does not deal with:
a) operation under extreme ambient conditions (outside the limits defined in EN 60204-1:2018);
b) upstream and downstream conveying elements, not integrated with stationary diamond wire saws, for transporting of the work-pieces.
This document is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
Maschinen und Anlagen zur Gewinnung und Bearbeitung von Naturstein - Sicherheit - Teil 1: Anforderungen für stationäre Diamantseilsägen
Dieses Dokument behandelt alle in Anhang A aufgeführten signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungs-situationen und Gefährdungsereignisse, die für stationäre Diamantseilsägen (stationäre Diamanteinzel-seilsägen und stationäre Diamantmehrfachseilsägen) wie in Abschnitt 3 festgelegt maßgebend sind.
Stationäre Diamantseilsägen dürfen in Steinbrüchen oder in Sägewerken zum Schneiden von Natursteinen (z. B. Marmor, Granit) verwendet werden, wenn sie bestimmungsgemäß und unter Bedingungen der Fehlanwendung, die vernünftigerweise vom Hersteller vorhersehbar sind, verwendet werden (siehe Anhang A).
Dieses Dokument behandelt ausschließlich stationäre Diamantseilsägen mit beschichteten Diamant-seilwerkzeugen.
Dieses Dokument legt die entsprechenden technischen Maßnahmen fest, um die aus den signifikanten Gefährdungen resultierenden Risiken zu beseitigen oder zu verringern.
Dieses Dokument behandelt alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, die innerhalb der erwarteten Lebensdauer der Maschinen auftreten können, einschließlich der Phasen Transport, Montage, Demontage, Außerbetriebnahme und Verschrottung.
Dieses Dokument befasst sich nicht mit den signifikanten Gefährdungen, die sich aus der Verwendung anderer in diesem Dokument nicht beschriebener Vorrichtungen/Geräte ergeben, die an den Maschinen angebracht oder während des Arbeitszyklus verwendet werden dürfen.
Dieses Dokument befasst sich nicht mit:
a) dem Betrieb unter extremen Umgebungsbedingungen (außerhalb der Beschränkungen, die in EN 60204-1:2018 festgelegt sind);
b) vor und nachgeschalteten, nicht in stationären Diamantseilsägen integrierten Förderelementen zum Transport von Werkstücken.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Maschinen, die vor dem Datum der Veröffentlichung dieses Dokuments durch CEN hergestellt wurden.

European foreword
This document (prEN 15163-1:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 151
“Construction equipment and building material machines - Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by
DIN.This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 15163:2017.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of
EU Directive(s).For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.This document deals with safety requirements of stationary diamond wire saws previously treated in
EN 15163:2017 with safety requirements of transportable diamond wire saws now treated in
prEN 15163-2:2020. As safety requirements related two types of machines have been separated, this
document edition is completely different from the previous one.Safety requirements treated in Clause 4, information for use treated in Clause 5 and related annexes have
been deeply modified, in addition, the following changes have been introduced:— list of the significant hazards has been moved from Clause 4 to Annex A, according to Clause 6.10.3.1
of CEN Guide 414;— normative references have been modified and updated to Clause 2;
— new terms and definitions have been introduced and improved to Clause 3 (e.g. coated diamond
wire);— Annex ZA has been modified according to the last edition of CEN Guide 414.

Introduction
This document has been prepared to be a harmonized standard to provide one means of conforming to
the essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive and associated EFTA Regulations.
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this document.When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other
standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C
standard.---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
