This European Standard applies to pasta presses (see Clause 3) used for continuous pasta production.

This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for the design, manufacture and information for use for continuous pasta presses and deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations, and events when the machines falling within the scope of this standard are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).

It deals with the hazards during the following phases of the machines' lifetime: transport, assembly and installation, commissioning, setting and adjusting, operation, cleaning, fault finding, maintenance, decommissioning, dismantling, disabling and scrapping.

The measures for risk reduction are given in Clause 5.

The significant hazards covered by this standard are listed in Clause 4.

These hazards, as well as the measures for their reduction, are described in the present European Standard.

Ancillary equipment which is not an integral part of the continuous pasta press (e.g. hoppers, conveyors, etc.) is not covered by this European Standard.

This European Standard is not applicable to machines in its scope which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.
