Annex A, Figures A.1 to A.4). Combinations of slots, squares and rounds having a safety opening size greater than 45 mm and not more than 50 mm shall create a pinch point less than or equal to 26 mm wide and with a length of at least 20 mm (see Annex A, Figures A.5 to A.8). Combinations of slots, squares, and/or rounds with a safety opening size more than 50 mm shall create a pinch point of less than or equal to 20 mm wide having sufficient length to prevent breakage increasing the width of the pinch point during use. Each section of the combination of safety openings shall be considered separately when determining the corresponding safety distance according to Table 2. The minimum safety distance of 200 mm required by Table 2 shall be fulfilled. NOTE The dimensions of pinch points are under study.$ 5.2.1.4 Tortuous path test The arm probe (see Figure 5) shall not be able to make contact with the cutting means when it is inserted into the feed intake opening up to a maximum distance of 850 mm measured from the point of the upper edge of the feed intake opening nearest to the cutting means. The articulations of the probe shall be manufactured to enable a rotation of ± 90° about the articulation axis. The movements of the joints of the probe shall be free enough to allow easy articulation as the probe is inserted into the opening. The probe shall be applied with a force not exceeding 20 N. The arm probe shall be twisted and moved in any direction allowed by the joints when approaching the cutting means. If necessary, one or more sections of the machine may be cut away to allow the probe to be configured such that it penetrates as far as possible towards the cutting means. If a section is removed this shall not allow the probe to penetrate further than it would have done before the removal of the section(s). SIST EN 13683:2004+A2:2011

EN ISO 12100-1:2003. 5.2.3.2 Strength Guards shall have adequate strength and be constructed to withstand such rough handling that may be expected in normal use. Guards shall be checked by the following test. Each of three samples of the complete machine shall be subjected to an impact of (6,5 ± 0,2) J on a part of the relevant guard likely to be the weakest, with the machine standing on a level surface. The tests shall be so conducted that in each test the sample receives an impact in a location different from the other two tests. The impact shall be produced with a smooth solid steel sphere (as used for ball bearings) having a diameter of 50 mm. If the part being tested is at an angle of up to 45° to the horizontal, the sphere shall be allowed to fall vertically from rest to strike the part. Otherwise, the sphere shall be suspended by a cord and shall be allowed to fall from rest as a pendulum to strike the part. In either case, the vertical travel of the sphere shall be 1,3 m. After the test there shall be no visible signs of cracking and the requirements of 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 shall be maintained. 5.2.4 Power driven components except cutting means All power driven components except the cutting means (see 5.2.1, 5.2.2 and 5.2.3) shall be guarded to prevent contact with these parts during normal operation. Guards designed to be opened or removed shall have a sign warning of the relevant hazard visible on the machine both when the guard is closed and when it is opened or removed.
