Food processing machinery - Slicing machines - Safety and hygiene requirements

This European Standard specifies the safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of slicing machines which are fitted with power-driven circular cutting blade of more than 150 mm in diameter, with a product support. These types of slicing machines are intended to be used in shops, restaurants, supermarkets, canteens, etc. to slice foodstuffs.
This European Standard covers all significant hazards at such machines, as identified by risk assessment (see EN ISO 12100:2010), which are listed in Clause 4 of this standard.
This European Standard applies when the machines in its scope are operated under the intended use as defined in EN ISO 12100:2010, 3.23 and 5.3.2, and stated in the instruction handbook (see 7.2), including cleaning, dismantling of removable parts and changing the blade.
NOTE   If the machine is not used under the above conditions, the manufacturer, when informed of such a situation, checks by a new risk analysis that the preventive measures remain valid.
Machines covered by EN 16743 are excluded from the scope of this standard.
Vibration is not considered to be a significant hazard for these machines.
This European Standard covers the following types of slicing machines:
—   horizontal feed slicers (manual, see Figure 1, or automatic, see Figure 13);
—   gravity feed slicers (manual, see Figure 2, or automatic).
Slicing machines consist of a base, a blade, a blade cover, a blade guard, a blade sharpener, a gauge plate (a guard plate for automatic slicers), a product support, a reciprocating carriage, a product pusher and electrical control components.
Slicing machines can be equipped with:
—   clamping device,
—   stacker,
—   discharge conveyor.
This standard applies to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of this standard.

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).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
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.

1 Scope
This document specifies the safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture,
installation, training, use, cleaning and maintenance of slicing machines which are fitted with a motor-
driven blade of more than 150 mm in diameter, provided with a product support. These types of slicing
machines are intended to be used in shops, restaurants, supermarkets, canteens, etc. to slice foodstuffs.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to slicing
machines, when they are used as intended by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This document applies to the hazards arising during all the phases of the life of the machine as described
in EN ISO 12100:2010, 5.4.
Automatic industrial slicing machines covered by EN 16743:2016 are excluded from the scope of this
document.
This document covers the following types of slicing machines:
— horizontal feed slicing machine (see Figure 1);
— gravity feed slicing machine (see Figure 2).
Both types can have an either hand-operated or power-operated carriage to move the product towards
the blade. They both can be fitted with manual or automatic devices to receive and convey the slices away
from the machine. All these types can also be provided with a scale.
This document applies to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of this document.
