The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered 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 B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for the design and construction of winding, unwinding and rewinding machines for film or sheet manufactured from rubber, plastics and composite materials in respect of the significant hazards listed in clause 4. A winding machine begins at the intake of the film or sheet into the winding machine and ends at the discharge position of the reel(s). An unwinding machine begins at the take-up position of the reel(s) and ends at the film or sheet take-off point.

NOTE The supplements are given at the end of Table 2. In the table, the word supplement is abbreviated to “Supp.” an "X" ("cross" sign) in columns "Guards" and "Control devices" identifies the “Protective measures” which are permitted for the particular danger point/area. They are local protective measures and at least one of them shall be used for the particular danger point/area. Where necessary, a "Protective measure" is specified by a value or by a supplement (e.g.
“+ Supp. 1”). If the column "Combination" (abbreviated to “Combi.”) is marked with an "X", then it is permissible to use the identified “Protective measures” in combination for a particular danger point/area.
See example in annex C for a combination of protective measures for area guarding. an "&" ("and" sign) contained in any of the columns identifies an "Obligatory requirement" that has to be fulfilled in addition to the "Protective measures". If required, this "Obligatory requirement" is specified by a value or with supplement (e.g.
“Supp. 4”). the right-hand column contains the "Additional protective measures" that have to be fulfilled.

SIST EN 13418:2004+A1:2008は、フィルムやシート用の巻き取り、巻き戻し、そして巻き上げ機械に関する安全要件を定めた重要な欧州規格です。この標準の主な範囲は、ゴム、プラスチック、複合材料から製造されたフィルムやシートの巻き取りおよびそれに関連する機械における重要な危険を特定し、それに対する安全基準を提示することにあります。 この標準の強みは、巻き取り機、巻き戻し機、そして巻き上げ機の各機能に特化している点です。具体的には、フィルムやシートの供給から、リールの排出位置までのプロセスが安全に行われることを保証するための具体的な要件が記載されています。さらに、フィルムやシートの張力制御やリール変更装置、リールの積み下ろし装置など、巻き取り機内の補助機器についてもおおよそのガイドラインが含まれています。 また、SIST EN 13418の適用は、機械の設計と建設に対する安全性を向上させるだけでなく、作業者の安全を守るための重要な手段としても認識されています。特に、フィルムやシートの取り扱いに伴う事故のリスクを低減することが可能となります。 ただし、注意すべき点として、この標準は、厚さ監視装置や持ち上げ、扱いの援助装置に関する技術的な安全要件は網羅していないことが挙げられます。さらに、電磁波による危険性や、巻かれる材料から発生する可能性のある有毒・化学的危険、粉塵や煙、ガスなどについてもカバーされていません。これらの点は、使用する機械または装置の種類に応じて別途検討する必要があります。 全体として、SIST EN 13418:2004+A1:2008は、フィルムやシートの加工に関わる機器の安全性を確保するための基盤となる標準であり、業界内での安全性の向上を促進するために不可欠です。そのため、製造業者や運用者にとっては、非常に重要な参考資料となるでしょう。
SIST EN 13418:2004+A1:2008 표준은 고무, 플라스틱 및 복합 재료로 제조된 필름이나 시트를 위한 감기 및 풀기 기계의 설계 및 제작에 대한 안전 요구 사항을 규정하고 있습니다. 이 표준은 필름 또는 시트의 감기 기계가 시작되는 지점부터 릴의 배출 지점까지의 과정과 관련된 주요 위험 요소를 식별하고 다룹니다. 이 표준의 강점 중 하나는 감기, 풀기 및 재감기 기계의 기능이 통합될 수 있는 가능성을 언급하고 있어 기계 설계의 유연성을 제공합니다. 또한 고정 지점 롤, 필름 또는 시트의 장력 조절, 감기 영역, 릴 교체 장치 및 릴 적재 및 하역 장치와 같은 기능 그룹을 포괄적으로 다룬다는 점에서 안전 요구 사항의 범위가 넓습니다. 추가하는 장비로는 필름 정렬 장치, 슬 리팅 장치, 및 정전기 제거 장치 등이 포함되어 있어, 필름 감기 기계의 전반적인 안전성을 높이는데 기여합니다. 그러나 이 표준은 리프트 및 핸들링 보조 장치, 두께 모니터링 장치, 전자기 방사선과 같은 특정 위험 요소, 그리고 독성 또는 화학적 위험을 다루지 않는다는 점에서 한계를 지니고 있습니다. 이 표준은 유럽 연합의 안전 요구 사항에 부합하며, 산업 분야에서 필름 및 시트 가공 시 필요한 안전성을 보장하기 위해 매우 중요한 역할을 합니다. 이러한 요구 사항은 사용자의 안전을 보장하고, 기계 작동 시 발생할 수 있는 다양한 위험으로부터 보호하기 위한 기초를 제공합니다. 이로 인해 SIST EN 13418:2004+A1:2008 표준은 필름 및 시트 산업에서 필수적인 안전 기준으로 자리잡고 있습니다.
The SIST EN 13418:2004+A1:2008 standard delineates critical safety requirements applicable to winding machines specifically designed for handling film or sheet materials fabricated from rubber, plastics, and composite materials. This European Standard plays an essential role in ensuring the safe design and construction of these machines, significantly enhancing operational safety by addressing the significant hazards identified in clause 4 of the document. One of the primary strengths of this standard is its comprehensive coverage of various functional groups integral to winding, unwinding, and rewinding machines. This includes detailed specifications for fixed point rolls, film or sheet tension control, the winding zone, reel change devices, and reel loading and unloading devices. Moreover, the inclusion of additional integrated equipment such as spreader rolls, longitudinal cutting units, slitting devices, film or sheet alignment devices, and static eliminators reflects the standard's thorough approach to encompassing diverse operational scenarios. The clarity and detail provided in the scope ensure that users and manufacturers can easily navigate the safety requirements necessary for compliant machinery. The specification of where the scope begins and ends-for instance, clearly defining the boundaries of winding, unwinding, and rewinding functions-enhances usability and understanding among various stakeholders. While the standard excels in its focus on specific safety measures, it is essential to note its exclusions. The document explicitly states that it does not cover technical safety requirements for lifting and handling aids or thickness monitoring devices, nor does it address potential hazards related to electro-magnetic radiation or toxic chemical exposure. These exclusions are critical in setting clear expectations for compliance and highlighting the importance of considering additional regulations, such as Directive 94/9/EC for equipment intended for potentially explosive atmospheres. Overall, the SIST EN 13418:2004+A1:2008 standard serves as a vital framework for ensuring safety in the operation of winding, unwinding, and rewinding machines. Its targeted scope, outlined strengths in functional coverage, and clear delineation of exclusions make it a relevant and valuable resource for manufacturers and operators within the industry. Through adherence to these standards, stakeholders can enhance safety protocols, minimize risks associated with operation, and contribute to a safer working environment.
