Abstract

This standard specifies the safety requirements for the design and manufacture of pre-formed rigid container packaging machinery and the information that should be made available to the user of these machines. All the significant hazards (see clause 4) arising from the machines included in this part of the standard are covered except for hazards associated with ancillary equipment for evacuating gases, cooling/refrigeration equipment associated with packaging machines, steam services supplying packaging machines, substances being filled (see annex C for guidance), hygiene principles (see annex D for guidance) and substances for cleaning/sterilising (see annex E for guidance). The following machines are included: - Filling machines (other than cask, keg and barrel filling machines) - Capping, closing and sealing/seaming machines - Container cleaning machines (other than cask, keg and barrel cleaning machines) - In-line and rotary rinsing and air cleaning machines - Labelling, decorating, coding and marking machines - Decapping/unscrewing machines - Inspection and ejection machines - Machines that apply wiring to secure stoppers in bottles - Machines which rinse, inspect, fill, seal and label containers - Keg and cask turning, pushing, cleaning and filling machines (but not multi-lane plants) - Packing, unpacking and unscrambling machines - Unpressurised pasteurisers and back-cooling machines - Vertical and horizontal sterilising machines For information, schematic drawings showing typical combinations of rigid container packaging machines for beverages are included (see Figures 1, 2 and 3). The following machines are not included: - Aerosol Filling and Sealing - Multi-lane Kegging plants - Conveyor systems which link packaging machines (they are dealt with by prEN 617, prEN 618, prEN 619, prEN 620 and prEN 741) Before this standard is used a hazard identification and risk assessment shall be carried out to check that the hazards for the machine to be designed are the same as those identified in this standard. This standard applies to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of this standard.
