protective equipment shall be in accordance with all the applicable subclauses of EN IEC 62046:2018.
In compliance with EN ISO 14120:2015, signal colours for the guards should not be used.
Fixed guards that have to be removed periodically for maintenance (e.g. the guards on wrapping points
of rolls for changing clothing) shall be constructed in such a way that their fixing systems remain attached
to the guards or to the machinery when the guards are removed. An example is shown in Figure 11 of
EN ISO 14120:2015.
Where possible, guards should be constructed in such a way that they also protect against ejected or
falling materials and objects.
Where possible, guards should be constructed in such a way that they also protect against emissions
generated by the machinery, for example against noise.
5.1.3 Movable guards for safeguarding danger points shall be designed as interlocking guards with
guard locking or as interlocking guard without guard locking (see 3.5.2 or 3.5 of EN ISO 14120:2015).
5.1.4 On perimeter fences equipped with interlocking doors, it shall be possible to open the doors from
inside the enclosed area at any time so that persons locked-in can escape from the hazard zone.
5.1.5 Nip bars shall be so designed and mounted that they are able to maintain their safeguarding
function even under mechanical stresses, vibration and heat. When forces of 1 000 N are applied in the
middle, the gap ‘a’ in Figure 3 shall not be wider than 8 mm.
5.2 Safety devices on power transmission elements
Danger points on power transmission elements shall be protected by fixed guards or interlocking guards
with or without guard locking. Guards shall be arranged as close to the danger point as possible such as
to prevent access from all sides. Where this is not possible, perimeter fences shall be arranged at a safety
distance in accordance with EN ISO 13857:2019, Table 2 and Table B.1.

5.3 Crushing hazards
In order to avoid crushing hazards between fixed and moving or between moving machine parts, the
minimum distances specified in EN ISO 13854:2019 shall be applied. Crushing hazards can also be
avoided by limiting the forces applied at the crushing point to a non-hazardous level such that the
movement can be stopped by reactive body force.
NOTE As long as there is no relevant standard to refer to, it is taken that forces of less or equal 150 N generally
do not present a risk of injury if it is a low-impulse movement and the contact surfaces are even or padded.
5.4 Drawing-in hazards on rollers, cylinders, rolls, felts and wires or trapping hazards at
reel fronts
5.4.1 General requirements
Where drawing-in hazards exists on inrunning nips, wrapping points or trapping points at reel fronts, the
related hazard points should preferably be safeguarded by one or a combination of the following
protective measures:
a) Safety distances according to EN ISO 13854:2019
b) Fixed guards in accordance with EN ISO 14120:2015 and Table 2 as well as Table 4 of
EN ISO 13857:2019. If access is frequently necessary: Interlocking guards in accordance with
EN ISO 14119:2013.
5.4.2 Safety measures on inrunning nips
The drawing-in hazards existing on inrunning nips of cylinders, rollers and rolls shall be avoided,
wherever possible without restraining machine function, by providing adequate distance between
rotating parts and fixed parts.
The hazard of the whole body being drawn in is prevented if there is a safety distance of 500 mm between
machine parts at the inrunning nip. See Figure 1.
The hazard of an arm being drawn in is prevented if there is a safe distance of at least 120 mm between
machine parts at the inrunning nip. Applying the safety distance for the arm is only allowed if the
inrunning nip cannot be reached by the body.
Inrunning nips where drawing-in hazards cannot be avoided shall be protected by guards.
NOTE This applies, for example, in press sections.
Suitable guards are:
— fixed or interlocking guards (e.g. nip bars) with guard locking according to EN ISO 14120:2015 and
EN ISO 14119:2013;
— fixed or interlocking distance guards with guard locking according to EN ISO 14120:2015 and
EN ISO 14119:2013;
— fixed or interlocking perimeter fences with guard locking according to EN ISO 14120:2015 and
EN ISO 14119:2013.
Fixed machine parts such as housings and frames which prevent access to a danger point can also partly
or completely function as guarding element. Fixed guards are selected where access to an inrunning nip
is not required.
Round sections shall not be considered suitable as nip guards as they create new inrunning nips.
The gap between the guard and rotating machine parts should be as small as possible and shall not be
more than 8 mm. The corner between the outer surface of the guard protecting the inrunning nip and the
tangent line of the roller surface shall be obtuse or right angled, i.e ≥ 90°. See Figure 3.
For guards that are not arranged directly on the inrunning nip, the distances listed in Table 2 of
EN ISO 13857:2019 shall apply. The following points shall be taken account of: The relevant distance “c”
between the guarding element and the danger area according to Figure 2 of EN ISO 13857:2019 is, when
applied to inrunning nips, identical with the distance between guarding element and that plane in the
inrunning nip where the distance “e” is equal or more than 25 mm between the roller surfaces or between
roller surface and fixed part. See Figure 4.
Information on inrunning nips shall be given in the instruction handbook, see 7.3.
5.4.3 Safety measures on wrapping points
Due to drawing-in hazards, wrapping points of felts, wires, ropes and tapes which are within the
operator's reach shall be safeguarded by fixed guards. Guards can be installed directly in front of the
wrapping points or at a distance in compliance with the safety distances according to EN ISO 13857:2019.
Where this is not possible or feasible, guards shall be mounted with safety distances according to
EN ISO 13857:2019, Table 2, Table 4 and Table B.1.
Wrapping points which are accessible from passageways in the machine shall be protected by fixed
guards machine-wide (see Figure 5).
Information about the wrapping points shall be given in the instruction handbook, see 7.3.

5.4.4 Safety measures at trapping points at reel fronts
Where trapping hazards exists on unwinding or rewinding devices or reel turning devices, the trapping
points (see 3.6.3) shall be safeguarded between the front sides of rotating paper reel and fixed parts of
the environment, as e.g. parts of the machine frame, by means of one or a combination of the following
protective measures.
— Minimum distances according to EN ISO 13854:2019 taking into consideration the access
possibilities for the body, the head and/or human arm.
— Fixed guards or perimeter fence in accordance with EN ISO 14120:2015 and Table 2 as well as
Table 4 of EN ISO 13857:2019.
NOTE 1 Often, compliance with the safety distance according to EN ISO 13854:2019 or complete fencing of
an unwinding device is not possible for technical reasons during production.
— If access is frequently necessary: Interlocking guards with guard locking in accordance with
EN ISO 14120:2015 and EN ISO 14119:2013 which are interlocked with the power supply of the
winding or unwinding drive and comply with 5.1.4 of this document. Access doors shall be designed
and arranged such that safe access to the workplaces required for web threading is guaranteed. The
related control system shall at least fulfil Performance level PL c of EN ISO 13849-1:2015 or Safety
Integrity Level SIL 1 of EN 62061:2005.
NOTE 2 Deviating requirements for safety related parts of control systems are defined in the machine-
specific parts of the EN 1034 series.
— electro-sensitive protective equipment of type 2 in accordance with the applicable standard parts of
the following standards: EN 61496-1:2013, EN 61496-2:2013, EN IEC 61496-3:2019,
IEC/TR 61496-4:2007, IEC/TS 61496-4-2:2014, IEC/TS 61496-4-3:2015 as well as with the
applicable subclauses of EN IEC 62046:2018;
— electro-sensitive protective equipment with approach reaction of type 2 in accordance with the
applicable standard parts of the following standards: EN 61496-1:2013, EN 61496-2:2013, EN
IEC 61496-3:2019, IEC/TR 61496-4:2007, IEC/TS 61496-4-2:2014, IEC/TS 61496-4-3:2015 as well
as with the applicable subclauses of EN IEC 62046:2018;
NOTE 3 Electro-sensitive protective devices or sensors with approach reaction normally cannot be
positioned in compliance with EN ISO 13855:2010 in a reasonable manner due to the existing machine speed
and the mass of the rolls; however, they have the effect that the operators abstain from carrying out manual
operations.
— Devices that prevent access to respectively stepping inside and standing in the hazard zone between
the front side of the reel and fixed surrounding parts, e.g. the machine frame. (See Example in
Figure 6b)
NOTE 4 This can be achieved, e.g. by geometry-dependent installations preventing persons from standing,
deflectors, floor markings.

Where such devices do not prevent access or entry and standing, they should at least make it more
difficult and draw attention to the hazard zone.
NOTE 5 Smooth surfaces or smooth claddings at the machine frame can reduce the risk of being drawn in.
Information about the trapping points shall be given in the instruction handbook, see 7.3.
5.5 Workplaces, access stairs, walkways, passageways
5.5.1 For operating, make-ready, trouble-shooting as well as maintenance operations, work platforms
including their access stairs and passageways in accordance with EN ISO 14122-2:2016 shall be
