Foreword
This document (prEN 13418:2010) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 145 “Plastics and
rubber machines”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13418:2004+A1:2008.
This document has been prepared under a mandate 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, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
Annexes A, B and C are informative.
Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1:2003.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and 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
This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for the design and construction of winding
machines used for, winding, unwinding, rewinding and the slitting of film or sheet manufactured from rubber,
plastics and composite materials in respect of the significant hazards listed in clause 4.
A machine used for winding or rewinding (winder or rewinder) begins at the intake of the film or sheet into the
winding machine and ends at the discharge position of the reel(s).
A machine used for unwinding (unwind) begins at the take-up position of the reel(s) and ends at the film or
sheet take-off point.
A machine used for unwinding, slitting and re-winding (slitter rewinder) begins at the take-up position of the
reel(s) and ends at the discharge positions of the reel(s) and covers one or more integrated slitting/cutting
units.
In some machines the winding, unwinding, rewinding and slitting functions may be combined.
The following functional groups are covered by this European Standard:
 fixed point roll;
3

---------------------- Page: 5 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 13418:2011
prEN 13418:2010 (E)
 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 are also covered:
 spreader roll device;
 longitudinal cutting device;
 cross-cutting device;
 splitting device;
 film or sheet alignment device;
 static eliminator.
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, unwound, slit or rewound 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.
