Scope

This European Standard applies to pasta presses, used for continuous pasta production.
These machines are usually used in a production line, but can also operate independently.
When the machines are part of a line, this standard does not cover the other constituent units of the line and their interfaces.
This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for the design, manufacture and information for use for presses and deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
It deals with the hazards during the following phases of the machines' lifetime: transport, assembly and installation, commissioning, setting and adjusting, operation, cleaning, fault finding, maintenance, decommissioning, dismantling, disabling and scrapping.
This European Standard does not apply to:
- machines for household use;
- machines fed under manual control and working in cycles (batch machines);
- cutting units.
This European Standard is not applicable to machines in its scope which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.
