EN 13683:2003 (E)50IntroductionThis document is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070:1998.The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events arecovered 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 Bstandards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the otherstandards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type Cstandard.SIST EN 13683:2004



EN 13683:2003 (E)61 ScopeThis European Standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design andconstruction of hand fed, shredders/chippers with integral power source and with or without vacuumassisted collection which are designed primarily to reduce organic material to smaller pieces. It is onlyapplicable to shredders/chippers that are designed for use outdoors in a stationary position by anoperator standing on the ground. It applies to shredders/chippers with feed intake openings in theform of a single opening or an opening divided into a number of segments. The feed intake openingsor segments each being of any shape that will fit into a square of 250 mm ´ 250 mm measured at therelevant safety distance to the cutting means.NOTEFeed safety openings are limited to 250 mm ´ 250 mm but the total feed intake opening can be anysize.This standard describes methods of elimination or reduction of hazards arising from the use ofshredders/chippers. In addition it specifies the type of information to be provided by the manufactureron safe working practices.This standard does not cover requirements for:¾ units driven by an external power source;¾ mobile use of units which can be used in both stationary and mobile modes;¾ units with powered discharge intended to broadcast material or load vehicles;¾ units with mechanically powered feed intake or attachments;¾ units with cutting means of either one or more non-metallic filaments, or one or more non-metalliccutting elements pivotally mounted on a generally circular central drive unit, where these cuttingelements rely on centrifugal force to achieve cutting, and have a kinetic energy for each singlecutting means of less than 10 J;¾ electrical aspects of electrically driven shredders.Environmental hazards and EMC have not been considered in this standard.This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant toshredders/chippers, when they are used as intended (see clause 4).This document is not applicable to shredders/chippers which are manufactured before the date ofpublication of this document by CEN.2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from otherpublications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and thepublications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of anyof these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment orrevision.

Inaddition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100 for hazardsrelevant but not significant, which are not dealt with by this document (e.g. sharp edges on the outsideof the machine).5.2 Access to power driven components5.2.1 Feed safety openings5.2.1.1 GeneralTo safeguard against contact with the cutting means through the feed safety opening(s) the machineshall:¾ either be constructed to meet the dimensional requirements given in 5.2.1.2 and Table 2, or¾ if a straight rod of 1 m length and 12 mm diameter will not pass through the opening to contactthe cutting means then the tortuous path test of 5.2.1.3 shall apply.5.2.1.2 Dimensional requirementsWhere a feed intake opening is divided into two or more feed safety openings the device that createsthe divisions shall be rigidly and permanently attached to the feed intake opening.Where a feed safety opening is not a slot, square or round, the overall size of opening is consideredto be a slot, square, or round envelope that contains the opening. The shortest safety distance of therespective envelope shall be used. Where a combination of slots, squares, and/or rounds are usedand they create a pinch point of less than or equal to 30 mm, each shape shall be consideredseparately for opening size and safety distance (see Table 2).
