Overview

EN 1870-8:2001/prA1 is a CEN draft amendment addressing the safety of woodworking machines, specifically single blade edging circular rip sawing machines with power‑driven saw units and manual loading and/or unloading. The amendment updates the original Part 8 standard to align with newer ISO/CEN normative references and to clarify the scope, definitions and safety requirements. It is intended to support conformity with EU machinery directives (including 2006/42/EC) and to help manufacturers and users reduce risks associated with these circular sawing machines.

Key topics and technical requirements

This amendment focuses on the significant hazards and the safety measures required for edging/rip sawing machines. Major technical topics include:

  • Scope and definitions: refined machine scope (solid wood, chipboard, fibreboard, plywood) and updated terminology (e.g., “information from the supplier”).
  • Risk assessment / list of significant hazards: updated table of hazards (mechanical, electrical, noise, radiation/lasers, dusts, fire, ergonomics).
  • Safety requirements and control systems: modifications to start/stop, emergency stop (EN ISO 13850), normal stopping, speed changes, control duplication and failure of power supply; emphasis on safety‑related parts of control systems (EN ISO 13849-1).
  • Guarding and mechanical strength: protections against cutting, shearing, entanglement, drawing‑in and ejection risks; strength requirements to prevent break-up.
  • Ergonomics and human factors: handling, posture, control placement and local lighting (EN 614‑1, EN 1005 series, EN 894 series).
  • Electrical and EMC: updated electrical standards (EN 60204‑1:2006), cable requirements and EMC product family standards (EN 50370).
  • Noise, dust and fire control: acoustic measurement standards (EN ISO 3743, EN ISO 11202), dust/fire risk controls and marking/instruction requirements.
  • Information for use: marking of machines, instruction handbook and maintenance guidance; addition of Annex ZB mapping to Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

Practical applications and users

This standard is practical for:

  • Machine manufacturers and designers - to design and test edging/rip sawing machines that meet up‑to‑date safety and EMC requirements.
  • Safety engineers and risk assessors - to identify significant hazards, specify guarding, and design safety circuits (EN ISO 13849-1).
  • Compliance and quality teams - to support conformity assessment, CE marking and alignment with EU directives.
  • Purchasers, workshop managers and maintenance staff - to evaluate machine safety features, instructions for use and maintenance demands.
  • Standards bodies and test laboratories - for harmonized test methods and normative references.

Related standards

The amendment updates and cross‑references many standards, notably:

  • EN ISO 12100 (risk assessment / design principles)
  • EN ISO 13849‑1 (safety‑related control systems)
  • EN ISO 13850 (emergency stop)
  • EN 60204‑1 (electrical equipment)
  • EN ISO 13857 (safety distances)
  • EN ISO 3745 / EN ISO 11202 (acoustics) These related standards are essential for implementing the requirements in EN 1870‑8:2001/prA1.

Keywords: EN 1870-8, safety of woodworking machines, circular sawing machines, edging rip saw, machinery directive, risk assessment, guarding, emergency stop, ergonomics, noise control.
