Machines for the manufacture of constructional products from concrete and calcium-silicate - Safety - Part 1: Common requirements

Scope

This European Standard applies to machines for the manufacture of constructional products from concrete and/or calcium silicate examples of which are listed in annex A of this part. It gives concepts and general and common requirements for the design, operation and maintenance of such machines.
1.2 This European Standard deals with hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during the operation and maintenance, including the interfaces, of the machines for the manufacture of constructional products from concrete and calcium silicate, when carried out as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
