scope:

This document applies to: - Pre-press machinery (machinery and devices for the production of master copies and printing forms): - exposure equipment for the production of films and printing forms; - equipment for developing films and printing forms; - washing machines for printing forms; - machines for bending printing forms; - punching machines for film and printing forms; - cutting machines for film and printing forms; - machines for the production of gravure printing forms; - scanners. - Printing and varnishing machines: - proofing presses; - sheet-fed printing presses and varnishing machines including digital printing presses; - web-fed rotary presses and varnishing machines including digital printing presses; - screen printing presses. - Auxiliary devices: - cylinder and roller washing devices; - continuous flow drying devices; - powder spraying devices; - auxiliary devices on inking and damping units; - automatic plate clamping devices; - washing equipment for printing forms, rollers and scrapers; - pile turners; reel turners, - measuring and control devices. This document shall be used together with prEN 1010-1:2003. Both parts together identify all significant hazards relevant to printing and varnishing machines including pre-press machinery and auxiliary devices, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see clause 4). The specific requirements specified in prEN 1010-2 take precedence over respective requirements in prEN 1010-1:2003. This document does not deal with risks generated by noise emitted from the machines. These issues are fundamentally covered in prEN 1010-1: 20032 However, this document specifies requirements for noise reduction of corrugated board and flatbed punching machines. This document does not apply to high-pressure cleaning devices and screen printing presses for textile substrates. This document is not applicable to bookbinding, paper converting and finishing
