This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2016, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2016. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market players with regard to machinery safety: — machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises); — health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.) Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the above-mentioned stakeholder groups: — machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises); — machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs); — service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises); — consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).

EN 16774:2016 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100. The machines and equipment concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this standard. This document assumes that — the converter plant is operated and maintained by adequately trained and competent personnel (see 7.5); — manual intervention for setting, adjustment and maintenance is accepted as part of the intended use of the plant; — the plant is used with adequate workplace lighting conforming to EN 12464-1. This document assumes that the input materials do not contain the following hazardous components: — radioactive scrap; — explosives; — entrapped water/ice; — closed containers; — oversized scrap which can lead to water leakage due to collision with lances (see 7.3.5). The charging should be done to avoid/minimize risk of explosion. When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C standard. SIST EN 16774:2016

In addition, the manufacturer shall carry out a plant-related risk assessment, including interfaces to auxiliary equipment, according to EN ISO 12100:2010, Clause 4 to identify any other significant hazard of the machine/equipment. Significant hazards identified in this plant-related risk assessment but not dealt with in this standard shall be reduced by applying the principles of EN ISO 12100. 5 Safety requirements and/or measures 5.1 General 5.1.1 Introduction Converter plants conforming to this European Standard shall comply with the safety requirements and/or measures set out in Clause 5 together with those set out in Annexes A, B and C and the information for use as defined in Clause 7. Special consideration shall be given to CO emission due to process transients and/or equipment failure. In general, risks and associated hazards are production and plant-related. The variety of different plants (i.e. different combinations of machines, different boundary conditions) could not be covered in all details in a European Standard. To deal with this fact, an individual risk assessment of the equipment in question shall be carried out (see Clause 4) considering the safety requirements of this European Standard. The manufacturer shall include in the information for use all details required for a safe operating process under normal operating conditions. He shall also describe the specific safety measures in case of special conditions, e.g. maintenance and adjustment work. If in addition to the technical measures further measures for risk reduction by organizational precautions according to EN ISO 12100:2010, Clause 5 are necessary, the manufacturer shall include in the Information for use details of this measures and the necessary information considering the residual risks. 5.1.2 Planning phase The manufacturer shall undertake during planning phase together with the user a layout-check to ensure good placement and safe operation of the converter plant, in particular with regard to: — position of physical emergency systems; — accessibility; — maintenance and cleaning; SIST EN 16774:2016



EN 16774:2016 (E) 14 — movement of parts of the equipment and material; — prevention of emissions hazardous to health at the work stations (e.g. avoiding harmful emissions); — considering ergonomic requirements; — escape routes. 5.1.3 Safety layout A safety layout shall be prepared. The aim of the safety layout is to give information (normally by means of one or more drawings) about the physical position of safety related elements at the converter plant. It is recommended to involve the user of the equipment, e.g. regarding escape routes, fire extinguishing systems, etc. If applicable, the following shall at least be illustrated: — areas where the risk of injury due to contact with liquid metal or slag including spraying is given; — emergency stop buttons; — escape and access routes (if necessary, e.g. for large plants); — areas influenced by low oxygen and/or harmful gases (e.g. CO or asphyxiating gases); — visible/audible warning devices; — safety related marking; — safety signs; — fixed guards (e.g. fences); — moveable guards (e.g. safety doors); — light barriers or safety scanners.
