Overview

SIST EN 12629-8:2004/kFprA1:2010 is a European safety standard developed by CEN Technical Committee 151, focusing on machines and equipment used in the manufacture of constructional products from calcium-silicate and concrete. This standard specifically addresses the safety requirements for hydraulic machines producing bricks, blocks, and other construction elements. It serves as an essential part of the comprehensive EN 12629 series, which outlines safety protocols for various types of machinery involved in concrete and calcium-silicate product manufacturing.

This amendment supports the essential requirements of EU Directive 2006/42/EC and Directive 98/37/EC, providing manufacturers, designers, and users with a framework to ensure safe operation, risk minimization, and regulatory compliance for this specialized equipment.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Application
    EN 12629-8 applies mainly to hydraulic machines manufacturing calcium-silicate and concrete constructional products. It complements general safety provisions outlined in EN 12629-1:2000+A1 and provides additional machine-specific safety measures.

  • Safety Requirements and Protective Measures
    This part specifies mandatory safety requirements and protective actions tailored to the hazards inherent in calcium-silicate product manufacturing machinery. It prioritizes machine design according to risk assessment principles as per EN ISO 12100.

  • Significant Hazards Identification
    The standard identifies critical hazards related to machine operation, aiming to eliminate or reduce risks during intended use or foreseeable misuse. It excludes noise and vibration hazards as insignificant for these machine types.

  • Verification and Marking
    Procedures for verifying effectiveness of safety measures are detailed, ensuring machines meet design and operational safety criteria. Marking requirements enhance traceability and user awareness.

  • Information for Use
    Comprehensive user instructions are required, including operational safety, maintenance guidelines, and hazard zone identification. Manufacturers must clearly communicate any risk reduction measures relying on installation-site conditions.

  • Harmonization with EU Directives
    The standard facilitates conformity with EU machinery directives, offering harmonized means to comply with essential health and safety requirements.

Applications

EN 12629-8 is critical for manufacturers and users of:

  • Hydraulic presses for calcium-silicate and concrete bricks, blocks, and construction elements.
  • Equipment ensuring safe production processes in the building materials industry.
  • Machine design and safety assessment aimed at reducing operational risks.
  • Compliance management in European construction equipment manufacturing.

By applying EN 12629-8, stakeholders benefit from:

  • Enhanced worker safety during machine operation.
  • Clear guidance on hazard zones and machine marking.
  • Streamlined regulatory approval and market access in EU and EFTA countries.
  • Improved equipment reliability through verified safety measures.

Related Standards

For comprehensive compliance and safety, EN 12629-8 should be used alongside key related standards:

  • EN 12629-1:2000+A1: General safety requirements for concrete and calcium-silicate product manufacturing machines.
  • EN ISO 12100: Basic concepts and general principles for machine safety risk assessments and design.
  • EN ISO 13850: Emergency stop principles for machinery safety.
  • EN ISO 13857: Safety distances to prevent access to hazardous machine zones.
  • EN 60204-1: Electrical equipment safety requirements for machinery.

These references ensure a consistent approach across all machinery types within the constructional product manufacturing sector.
