5.1 General
Filling machines and interchangeable equipment shall comply with the safety requirements and/or
protective measures of this clause.
In addition, they shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100:2010 for hazards relevant
but not significant, which are not dealt with by this document.
After the activation of a protective device the machine shall stop before a hazard zone can be reached.
Restarting shall only be possible by actuating the starting control.
For the design and implementation of any safety function, either realized in electric, pneumatic, hydraulic
or mechanic technology, the appropriate requirements of EN ISO 13849-1:2015 apply.
Machines safety functions are implemented and assured through Safety-related Parts of the Control
System (SRP/CS) that shall achieve a required Performance Level (PL ). This requirement is given for
r
each safety function in the relevant subclauses of Clause 5.
Table C.1 summarizes PL for each safety function; however, the provisions of Clause 5 remain the sole
r
and complete normative set of requirements and explanations.
Fixing systems for fixed guards, or for demountable parts of the machine casing when they are designed
as fixed guards, shall remain attached to the guards or to the machine when the guards are removed.

Introduction
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 and hazardous events
are covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this type-C-standard are different from those which are stated in type-A- or -B-
standards, the provisions of this type-C-standard take precedence over the provisions of the other
standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type-C-
standard.

1 Scope
1.1 General
This document applies to:
— filling machines with cylinder and piston;
— filling machines with feed intake hopper;
— filling machines with vacuum hopper;
hereafter referred to as filling machines which process e.g. meat, cheese and other pasty substances,
excluding dry or frozen materials. They pump foodstuff into casings or bring it to a following process.
This document applies also to the interchangeable equipment for filling machines with which a wide
range of additional functions can be implemented. For example: portioning, depositing, mincing, co-
extruding, dividing and forming.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to filling
machines and interchangeable equipment (hereafter referred to as machines), when they are used as
intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer and also the reasonable foreseeable
misuse (see Clause 4).
These significant hazards, hazardous situations and events can arise during all the life phases including
transportation, assembly, dismantling, disabling and scrapping of the machines.
This document is not applicable to machines which were manufactured before the date of publication of
this document by CEN.
Filling machines described in this document are no forming, filling and sealing machines as described in
EN 415-3:1999+A1:2009. Clipping machines as described in EN 13885:2005+A1:2010 are not covered
by this document.
1.2 Types of filling machines and interchangeable equipment covered by this standard
1.2.1 Filling machines with cylinder and piston
Filling machines with cylinder and piston consist of piston, closing cover, machine frame, accessory drive
mechanism and electrical and hydraulic components (see Figure 1).
The material being processed will be fed by hand into the cylinder.
Filling machines with cylinder and piston can be fitted with a dividing device.
1.2.2 Filling machines with feed intake hopper
Filling machines with feed intake hopper (with or without infeed auger, see Figure 2) consist of feeder on
the discharge side of the feed intake hopper, machine frame, drive mechanism for interchangeable
equipment and electric, electronic or pneumatic components, depending on machine type.
The material being processed will be fed by hand (or optionally a loading device) into the feeding hopper
of the filling machine.
Filling machines with feed intake hopper can be equipped with:
— dividing device;
— cover or photoelectric guard at the mouth of the feed intake hopper;
— pressure-sensitive protective device at the hopper edge;

Filling machines with vacuum hopper (with or without infeed auger, see Figure 3) consist of suction pipe
with storage container, feeder, vacuum hopper with locking device on the intake side, machine frame,
drives for interchangeable equipment and electrical, electronic or pneumatic components, depending on
the machinery category.
Filling machines with vacuum hoppers can be loaded by one or more of the following:
— manual loading;
— vacuum suction;
— feeder.
Filling machines with vacuum hoppers are to be switched on and off by lever switches operated by knee
or hand and/or by remote control signals.
Filling machines with vacuum hoppers can be equipped with:
— dividing device;
— cover on vacuum hopper;
— infeed auger;
— counter auger;

1.2.4 Interchangeable equipment for filling machines
Interchangeable equipment are devices which can be assembled to filling machinery by the operator in
order to attribute one or more new functions such as: portioning, twisting, voiding, forming, mincing.
Interchangeable equipment does not operate independently. The interchangeable equipment will be
actuated directly or by filling machines.
