Machines and plants for the manufacture, treatment and processing of flat glass - Safety requirements - Part 7: Cutting machines for laminated glass

Scope

1.1 This European Standard applies for cutting machines for laminated glass including the following steps: transport and positioning, synchronous cutting (scoring) from both sides, break-out, electrical heating and separation.
1.2 This European Standard deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to cutting machines for laminated glass when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). Those hazards, which are dealt with in the ad-hoc standard EN 619 for con-veyors are excepted. This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks which can arise from these significant hazards during commissioning, the operation and mainte-nance. Hazards from noise are not considered to be significant.
1.3 This European Standard is not applicable to cutting (scoring) and break-out of monolithic glass (see EN 13035-3 and prEN 13035-6).
1.4 This European Standard is not applicable to the cutting of laminated glass by sawing or by the use of high-pressure liquid.
1.5 This European Standard is not applicable to the significant hazards of conveyors and machines for the manufacture, treatment and processing of flat glass such as tilting tables.
1.6 This European Standard is not applicable to cutting machines for laminated glass which are manufac-tured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.
