scope:

This European Standard applies to machines for the manufacture of constructional products of calcium silicate or concrete, where the mould(s) is (are) mounted on a turning or slide moving table. The motive power for compressing the mixture is effected either mechanically (annexes A, B), or hydraulically (annexes C and D). This European Standard deals with the hazards listed in clause 4 of machines for the manufacture of constructional products from concrete and calcium silicate, when used as intended under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer. This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards. This European Standard applies to the machines from the point at which the mixture enters the machine (see point 1 of annexes A, B, C, D) and the point where the pallets for concrete products are brought to the assembly (see point 8 at annexes C and D) until the point where the green products are removed from the machine to the curing system (see point 2 of annexes A, B, C, D).
