Overview
EN 12629-5-1:2003+A1:2010 is a European standard developed by CEN, focusing on safety requirements for machines dedicated to the vertical manufacture of pipes, manholes, and similar elements from concrete or calcium-silicate. This standard applies specifically to pipe making machines operating along a vertical axis, and it is intended to be used together with EN 12629-1:2000+A1:2010, which addresses general requirements for machines involved in producing constructional products from concrete and calcium-silicate.
The main objective of EN 12629-5-1 is to identify significant hazards associated with vertically oriented pipe making machines, establish technical measures to eliminate or mitigate these risks, and ensure both operators' safety and compliance with EU machinery directives.
Key Topics
- Specific Application: The standard applies to vertical axis pipe making machines and closely related machinery for producing concrete pipes and manholes.
- Significant Hazards: It addresses all significant hazards when the machines are used as intended and under reasonably foreseeable misuse conditions.
- Technical Measures: The document outlines safety requirements and protective measures, both general and specific, to address risks such as crushing, shearing, entanglement, and slipping.
- Types of Machines Covered: The standard considers various types of vertical pipe making machines, including fully automatic and semi-automatic versions, with associated devices like mixture feeders, casting stations, and reinforcement feeders.
- Exclusions: EN 12629-5-1:2003+A1:2010 is not applicable to machines manufactured before its publication date.
Applications
EN 12629-5-1:2003+A1:2010 is essential for:
- Machine Manufacturers: Ensuring vertical pipe making machines comply with EU safety requirements and machinery directives, especially for new designs and manufacturing setups.
- Plant Operators and Owners: Implementing best practices for machine safety, risk reduction, and worker protection in concrete product manufacturing plants.
- Maintenance Teams: Understanding significant hazard zones and required safety features for maintaining and repairing pipe making equipment.
- Compliance Assurance: Meeting the essential requirements of EU Directive 2006/42/EC concerning safety of machinery, which is crucial for CE marking and market access in the European Union.
Typical stakeholders include companies involved in manufacturing concrete drainage pipes, sewer systems, and related construction components using automated or semi-automated machinery.
