Foreword
This document (EN 13898:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 143 “Machine tools -
Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by SNV.
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text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2004, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by March 2004.
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 EC Directive(s).
For relationship with EC Directives, see informative annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
Annexes A and B are normative.
Annexes C and D are informative.
This document includes a Bibliography.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands,
Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
0 Introduction
This standard is a type 'C' standard (see introduction of EN 292–1:1991) which applies to sawing machines.
The extent to which significant hazards are covered by this standard is indicated in the scope of this standard.
In addition, sawing machines should comply, as appropriate, with EN 292–1 and –2 for hazards which are not
covered by this standard.
Complementary requirements and guidance are given in type A and type B standards to which reference is
made in the text.
The figures are intended to be examples and not to give the only interpretation of the text.
1 Scope
1.1 This standard specifies the safety requirements and measures to be adopted by persons undertaking the
design, construction and supply (including installation, setting–up, maintenance, and repair) of machines
whose primary intended use is for sawing cold metal (ferrous and non-ferrous), or material partly of cold
metal, by means of a saw blade.
1.2 This standard takes into account the intended use, reasonably foreseeable misuse, machine setting and
blade fitting, maintenance and cleaning, and their effects on the safety of operators and other exposed
persons. It presumes access to the machine from all directions at floor level and addresses both normal
operation and unexpected or unintended starting.
1.3 This standard applies to the ancillary devices which form an integral part of the machine. Where such
devices are not an integral part of the machine, the designer, manufacturer or supplier of the installation
should take into account their intended use, and should make provision for the safe linking of such devices
with the machine.
1.4 This standard applies to (metal) sawing machines which are manufactured after the date of publication by
CEN of this standard.
