EN 16500 specifies the safety requirements for the design, manufacture and information for safe use of vertical baling presses for compacting waste material or recyclable fractions (e. g. paper, plastics, textiles, cans, cardboard, mixed waste), hereafter referred to as materials. This standard covers vertical baling presses: - that are manually or mechanically fed; and - with fixed enclosed baling chambers (single or multiple chamber presses); and - with a mechanically, hydraulically or pneumatically operated compacting equipment; and - where the compacted bale is tied manually in the baling chamber; and - with manual unloading or mechanical ejection of the compacted bale. The scope of this standard includes any mechanical feed equipment, such as belt type conveyors or bin lifts, forming an integral part of the baling press assembly. It also includes integral material flow control equipment. This standard does not apply to: - vertical baling presses without fixed enclosed baling chamber(s); or - round balers or roll baling machines; or - machines where the material is compacted into a bag; or - pneumatic conveying systems; or - equipment for transporting the bales; or - local exhaust ventilation for the removal of dusts or vapours; or - hazards arising from any integral pre-conditioning equipment; or - hazards arising from the materials being processed (e.g. asbestos, clinical waste, flammable or explosive materials, unhealthy or poisonous waste). This standard does not apply to cranes, lift trucks or other mobile plant used to load materials into the feed opening. Nor does it apply to hazards arising from loading materials into the feed opening using cranes, lift trucks or other mobile plant. This standard does not include specifications to meet the requirements of the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC. All hazards mentioned in Clause 4 are dealt with in this European Standard. This European Standard is not applicable for vertical baling presses which are manufactured before the date of its publication as an EN.

Machines à compactage pour déchets ou matières recylcables - Presses à balles verticales - Prescriptions de sécurité
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les prescriptions de sécurité applicables à la conception, à la construction et aux informations pour l’utilisation en sécurité des presses à balles verticales qui sont utilisées pour compacter des matériaux ou des matières recyclables (papier, plastique, textiles, canettes et boîtes de conserve, carton, matériaux mélangés, par exemple), ci-après désignés sous le terme de « matériaux ».
La présente norme couvre les presses à balles verticales :
à chargement manuel ou mécanique, et
à chambres de compaction internes fixes (presses à une ou plusieurs chambres), et
à dispositif de compaction mécanique, hydraulique ou pneumatique, et
où la balle compactée est ligaturée manuellement , et
à déchargement manuel ou éjection mécanique de la balle compactée.
Le domaine d’application de la présente Norme européenne couvre tout équipement d’alimentation mécanique faisant partie intégrante de l’installation de mise en balles, tel que convoyeur à bande de chargement et d’alimentation ou lève-conteneur. Les convoyeurs pneumatiques sont toutefois hors du domaine d’application de la présente norme.
La présente norme ne s’applique pas :
aux presses à balles verticales sans chambre(s) de compaction fixe(s) fermée(s), ni

Stroji za stiskanje odpadkov ali reciklirnih materialov - Stiskalnice za bale - Varnostne zahteve
Standard EN 16500 določa varnostne zahteve za obliko, izdelavo in informacije za varno uporabo stiskalnic za bale za stiskanje odpadkov ali reciklirnih materialov (npr. papirja, plastike, tekstila, pločevine, kartona, mešanih odpadkov), v nadaljevanju: materiali. Ta standard zajema stiskalnice za bale: – z ročnim ali mehanskim polnjenjem; in – s fiksnimi zaprtimi balirnimi komorami (stiskalnice z eno ali več komorami); in – z mehansko, hidravlično ali pnevmatično upravljano opremo za stiskanje; in – pri katerih je stisnjena bala ročno povezana v komori za bale; in – z ročnim razkladanjem ali mehanskim izmetom stisnjene bale. Področje uporabe tega standarda vključuje vso mehansko opremo za odmerjanje hrane (npr. tračne naprave za odmerjanje oziroma stroje za dviganje), ki tvori nepogrešljiv del sestavov za stiskanje bal. Vključuje tudi vgrajeno opremo za nadzor pretoka materiala. Ta standard se ne uporablja za: – stiskalnice za bale brez fiksnih zaprtih balirnih komor; ali – balirne stroje za okrogle bale; ali – stroje, pri katerih se material stisne v vrečo; ali – pnevmatske sisteme za prenos; ali – lokalne izpušne prezračevalne sisteme za odstranjevanje prahu ali hlapov; ali – nevarnosti, ki izhajajo iz vgrajene opreme za predobdelavo; ali – nevarnosti, ki izhajajo iz materialov, ki se obdelujejo (npr. azbesta, kliničnih odpadkov, vnetljivih ali eksplozivnih materialov, zdravju škodljivih ali strupenih odpadkov). Ta standard ne velja za dvigala, viličarje ali druge premične mehanizme, ki se uporabljajo za nalaganje materialov v odprtine za odmerjanje. Prav tako ne velja za nevarnosti, ki izvirajo iz nalaganja materialov v naprave za odmerjanje z uporabo dvigal, viličarjev ali drugih premičnih mehanizmov. Ta standard ne vključuje specifikacij za izpolnjevanje zahtev direktive 94/9/ES o približevanju zakonodaje držav članic v zvezi z opremo in zaščitnimi sistemi, namenjenimi za uporabo v potencialno eksplozivnih atmosferah. Vse nevarnosti, navedene v točki 4, so obravnavane v tem evropskem standardu. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za stiskalnice bal, ki so bile izdelane, preden je bil objavljen kot standard EN.
