scope:

This European Standard applies to the design and installation of IS machines including the gob distributor and machine conveyor. This European Standard deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to IS machines, when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from significant hazards during commissioning, operation and maintenance." This European Standard does not deal with gob feeders (see EN 13042-1) and handling machines for feeding (see EN 13042-2) which are self-standing machines used for the delivery of portions of melted glass to hollowglass- forming machines such as glass presses (see EN 13042-5). This European Standard is not applicable to IS machines which are manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.
