Overview
SIST EN IEC 60335-2-87:2020/A1:2022 is a European Standard developed by CLC addressing the safety of electrical animal-stunning equipment. As an amendment to EN IEC 60335-2-87:2020, the standard specifies particular safety requirements for animal-stunning devices used in industrial, commercial, and farm environments. Designed to protect operators, animals, and bystanders, this standard is essential for manufacturers, operators, and regulators concerned with animal welfare and electrical safety compliance.
This standard applies to manual, semi-automatic, and automatic electrical animal-stunning equipment intended for use in locations where potential risks to individuals and the public may exist. It forms part of the widely recognized IEC 60335 series on household and similar electrical appliance safety.
Key Topics
- Scope of Application: Covers the safety design, construction, marking, and instructions for all types of electrically-operated animal-stunning equipment not intended for household use but for settings like farms, slaughterhouses, and other commercial environments.
- Operator and Public Safety: Emphasizes measures to prevent harm to users and bystanders, minimizing electrical hazards associated with the operation of animal-stunning devices.
- Device Marking and Instructions: Details mandatory markings, language for warning signs, and instructional content. For example, equipment must clearly display the prohibition against connecting battery-operated devices to mains power, with specific requirements for signage visibility and explanation.
- Battery-Operated Devices: Provides rules for devices powered by non-rechargeable or externally charged batteries, ensuring safe and independent operation that precludes unsafe power connections.
- Integration with EN 60335-1: Should be read alongside the general safety requirements from EN 60335-1, which addresses overarching safety principles for electrical appliances.
Applications
- Slaughterhouses and Meat Processing Plants: Ensures equipment used to stun animals complies with safety measures to protect workers and meet animal welfare regulations.
- Livestock Farms: Supports farm operators in safely stunning animals for veterinary or agricultural purposes, reducing risks associated with electrical shocks.
- Commercial Animal Handling: Applicable to any commercial environment requiring humane and safe animal-stunning procedures.
- Equipment Manufacturing and Testing: Directs manufacturers on compliance, product design, and labeling, while providing essential guidelines for product testing and certification.
- Regulatory Compliance: Assists regulators and inspectors in assessing conformity for electrical animal-stunning equipment put on the EU market.
Related Standards
- EN 60335-1: General requirements for safety of household and similar electrical appliances. All part 2 standards, including this one, must be used in conjunction.
- IEC 60335-2-87:2016: The core international counterpart of the amended European standard.
- ISO/IEC Guides on Animal Welfare and Electrical Safety: Provide broader frameworks which may be referenced for additional animal welfare and workplace safety practices.
- EN IEC 60335 Series: Covers safety requirements for various household and commercial electrical equipment, supporting harmonized market access in Europe.
By conforming to SIST EN IEC 60335-2-87:2020/A1:2022, electrical animal-stunning equipment manufacturers and operators not only demonstrate compliance with stringent EU safety requirements, but also contribute to enhanced workplace safety and animal welfare. This standard is key for those aiming for best practice and legal conformity within the EU and similar regulatory regions.
