EN 13683:2003+A1:2009 (E) 5 0 Introduction This document is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070:1998. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this document.

SIST EN 13683:2004+A1:2009



EN 13683:2003+A1:2009 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of hand fed, shredders/chippers with integral power source and with or without vacuum assisted collection which are designed primarily to reduce organic material to smaller pieces. It is only applicable to shredders/chippers that are designed for use outdoors in a stationary position by an operator standing on the ground. It applies to shredders/chippers with feed intake openings in the form of a single opening or an opening divided into a number of segments. The feed intake openings or segments each being of any shape that will fit into a square of 250 mm × 250 mm measured at the relevant safety distance to the cutting means. NOTE Feed safety openings are limited to 250 mm × 250 mm but the total feed intake opening can be any size. This standard describes methods of elimination or reduction of hazards arising from the use of shredders/chippers. In addition it specifies the type of information to be provided by the manufacturer on safe working practices. This standard does not cover requirements for:  units driven by an external power source;  mobile use of units which can be used in both stationary and mobile modes;  units with powered discharge intended to broadcast material or load vehicles;  units with mechanically powered feed intake or attachments;  units with cutting means of either one or more non-metallic filaments, or one or more non-metallic cutting elements pivotally mounted on a generally circular central drive unit, where these cutting elements rely on centrifugal force to achieve cutting, and have a kinetic energy for each single cutting means of less than 10 J;  electrical aspects of electrically driven shredders. Environmental hazards and EMC have not been considered in this standard. This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to shredders/chippers, when they are used as intended (see clause 4). This document is not applicable to shredders/chippers which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN. 2 Normative references
