scope:

This Standard specifies requirements specified in JIS B 9700 as well as the extended requirements, among general requirements for safety design that address the safety aspect of food processing machinery.

This Standard is applicable to machinery/devices of open-system and closed-system that perform a batch process and a consecutive process. It is not applicable to an integrated manufacturing system that connects and uniformly operates multiple food processing machinery having different functions in a coordinated manner.

NOTE Safety of integrated manufacturing systems is provided in ISO 11161.

This Standard is applicable to food processing machinery classified as industrial machinery used in facilities such as factories that mass produce commercial food or its raw materials, using a certain energy as power source and to heat and control. However, it is not applicable to food processing machinery classified as professional-use machinery used in kitchens of households, restaurants, etc.

Examples of major groups of food processing machinery are shown below.

a) Baking machinery

b) Cake making machinery

c) Meat processing machinery

d) Marine product machinery

e) Processing machinery used in flouring mill

f) Noodle making machinery

g) Drink making machinery

h) Rice and wheat milling machinery

NOTE For machinery classified into these groups, specific requirements are respectively specified in individual JIS.
