Safety of packaging machines - Part 8: Strapping machines

This document is applicable to the following groups of machines:
-   powered hand strapping tools;
-   semi-automatic strapping machines;
-   automatic strapping machines.
This document does not apply to:
-   strapping tools, where the strap tension is only applied by manual effort;
-   machines, intended for use with paper strap;
-   hand-held motor-operated electric strapping tools.
NOTE   For hand-held motor-operated electric strapping tools see EN 60745-2-18:2009 and EN 62841-1:2015.
This document deals with safety requirements for machine design, transport, installation, commissioning, operation, adjustment, maintenance and cleaning. The extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered is indicated in Annex A.
This document does not consider the following hazards:
-   the use of strapping machines in potentially explosive atmosphere;
-   the health, safety or hygiene hazards associated with the products that may be handled by the machines, but does include general advice on this subject;
-   hazards that are associated with decommissioning strapping machines.
Hazards associated with decommissioning of strapping machines are not considered and therefore excluded but are generally part of the instruction manual (see Clause 6), together with suited measures, if necessary.

Safety of packaging machines - Part 10: General Requirements
EN 415-10:2014

This European Standard gives general requirements for packaging machines which are defined in the scope of EN 415 1 or are in the scope of another relevant machine specific part of EN 415. When used together with a relevant machine specific part of EN 415, it gives the requirements for that specific type of machine.
This document deals with safety requirements and their verification for design, construction, installation, commissioning, operation, adjustment, maintenance and cleaning of packaging machines when used as intended and under the conditions of misuse foreseeable by a manufacturer.
The extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered is indicated in Clause 4.
The hazards on a specific machine can vary depending on its working principle; the type, size and mass of the product; the packaging material; auxiliary equipment attached to the machine and the environment in which the machine is used. If the machine presents hazards that are not dealt with in this standard, the manufacturer should assess these hazards by using the principles detailed in EN ISO 12100:2010. Such deviations or additions are outside the scope of this standard.
Exclusions
This European Standard is not applicable to the following:
-   machines that were manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
This standard does not consider the following:
-   the risk resulting from the use of machines in public accessed areas.
NOTE   For machines used in public accessed areas different or additional requirements can apply. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to identify such additional risks, which are outside the scope of this standard or such deviating risks which arise from this specific use, and provide suitable protective measures in accordance with EN ISO 12100.
-   the use of packaging machines in potentially explosive atmospheres;
-   specific health, safety or hygiene hazards associated with the products that may be handled by the machines, but does include general advice on this subject;
-   hazards that may be associated with decommissioning packaging machines.

Safety of packaging machines - Part 9: Noise measurement methods for packaging machines, packaging lines and associated equipment, grade of accuracy 2 and 3
EN 415-9:2009

This standard specifies all the information necessary to carry out efficiently and under defined conditions the determination, information and verification of airborne noise emission from packaging machine covered by EN 415-1.
This measurement method specifies procedures for the determination of emission sound pressure levels at work station, at other specified positions and the sound power level on the basis of both the sound pressure level method and the sound intensity method. It also specifies installation and operating conditions.
This standard applies to machines covered by EN 415-1 as well as for any other packaging machine which are not covered by any other specific noise test code as well as for machines being part of packaging line. In such cases, all information relating to the assembly, installation and to the operating conditions as well as the arrangement of the work station shall be recorded and reported in the test report.
Noise emission characteristics include the following data:
- emission sound pressure level at work station  and at other specified positions;
- sound power emitted by machine.
Both can be used:
- to determine the noise emitted by machine;
- to inform on the noise emitted by the machine;
- to verify the noise emitted by the machine.
Noise emission values permit comparison of packaging machines on the market.
The use of this standard ensures the reproducibility of the determination of the characteristic noise emissions values within specific limits which will be determined by the grade of accuracy of the noise emission measuring method used.
