Garden equipment - Integrally powered shredders/chippers - Safety
This European Standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of hand fed, shredders/chippers with integral power source and with or without vacuum assisted collection which are designed primarily to reduce organic material to smaller pieces and are used in a stationary position by an operator standing on the ground. It applies to shredders/chippers with feed intake openings in the form of a single opening or an opening divided into a number of segments.
Gartengeräte - Motorgetriebene Schredder/Zerkleinerer - Sicherheit
Diese Europäische Norm legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderrungen und Prüfungen für die Gestaltung und Konstruktion von Schredder/Zerkleinerer mit integriertem Antrieb und mit oder ohne vakuumunterstütztem Sammelbehälter fest, die in erster Linie zur Reduzierung organischen Materials in kleinere Teile und in fester Arbeitsposition, wobei der Benutzer auf dem Boden steht, bestimmt sind. Sie gilt für Schredder/Zerkleinerer mit Einwurföffnungen in Form einer einzelnen Öffnung oder einer in Segmenten unterteilten Öffnung. Die Einwurföffnungen bzw. Segmente müssen jeweils so geformt sein, dass sie eine Fläche von 250 mm x 250 mm, gemessen vom relevanten Sicherheitsabstand zum Schneidwerkzeug, aufweisen.
ANMERKUNG Die Einwurfsicherheitsöffnungen sind auf 250 mm x 250 mm begrenzt, die Größe der gesamten Einwurföffnung ist unbeschränkt.
Diese Norm beschreibt Methoden zur Eliminierung oder Reduzierung von Gefährdungen, die sich aus dem Gebrauch von Schreddern/Zerkleinerern ergeben. Außerdem legt sie die Art von Informationen fest, die der Hersteller für den sicheren Gebrauch bereitstellen muss.
Diese Norm enthält keine Anforderungen für:
von einer externen Energiequelle angetriebene Einheiten;
den mobilen Einsatz von Einheiten, die sowohl mobil als auch stationär verwendet werden können;
Einheiten mit motorgetriebenem Auswurf zum Ausstreuen von Material oder zum Beladen von Fahrzeugen;
Einheiten mit mechanisch angetriebenem Einzug oder Anbauten;
Einheiten mit ein oder mehreren nicht metallischen Fäden, oder mit ein oder mehreren nicht metallischen Schneidelementen, schwenkbar montiert auf eine im Allgemeinen kreisförmige zentrale Antriebseinheit, wo diese Schneidelemente durch zentrifugale Kraft schneiden und die kinetische Energie für jedes einzelne Schneidwerkzeug unter 10 J beträgt;
elektrische Aspekte von elektrisch getriebenen Zerkleinerern;
die Gefährdung der Umwelt und EMV wird in dieser Norm nicht in Betracht gezogen.
Matériel de jardinage - Broyeurs/déchiqueteurs à moteur incorporé - Sécurité
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les prescriptions de sécurité et leurs vérifications pour la conception et la construction des broyeurs/déchiqueteurs à chargement manuel avec une source de puissance incorporée, munis ou non d'un système de ramassage par aspiration, qui sont conçus principalement pour réduire les matières organiques en morceaux plus petits. Elle s'applique à des broyeurs/déchiqueteurs qui sont conçus pour une utilisation à l'extérieur en position fixe par un utilisateur se tenant debout sur le sol. Elle s'applique aux broyeurs/déchiqueteurs munis d'ouvertures de prise d'alimentation formées d'une seule ouverture ou d'une ouverture divisée en segments. Les ouvertures ou les segments de prise d'alimentation ont chacun une forme quelconque pouvant s'inscrire dans un carré de 250 mm ´ 250 mm mesuré à la distance de sécurité appropriée de l'organe de coupe.
NOTE Les ouvertures d'alimentation de sécurité sont limitées à 250 mm ´ 250 mm mais l'ouverture de prise d'alimentation totale peut être de n'importe quelle dimension.
La présente norme décrit les méthodes pour éliminer ou réduire les phénomènes dangereux inhérents à l'utilisation des broyeurs/déchiqueteurs. En outre, elle spécifie le type d'informations que le fabricant doit fournir sur les pratiques d'utilisation sûre.
La présente norme ne traite pas des prescriptions applicables à :
- des machines alimentées par une source de puissance externe ;
- une utilisation mobile d'unités qui peuvent être utilisées à la fois en mode fixe et mobile ;
- des machines munies d'une éjection à moteur destinée à répandre le matériau ou à charger des véhicules ;
- des machines munies d'une prise d'alimentation ou d'outils à alimentation mécanique ;
- des machines munies d'un organe de coupe composé soit d'un ou de plusieurs fils non métalliques, soit d'un ou de plusieurs dispositifs de coupe non métalliques montés en pivot sur un organe d'entraînement central généralement circulaire, lorsque ces disposi
