BS EN 1010-2:2006+A1:2010

This standard BS EN 1010-2:2006+A1:2010 Safety of machinery. Safety requirements for the design and construction of printing and paper converting machines is classified in these ICS categories:

• 37.100.10 Reproduction equipment
• 85.100 Equipment for the paper industry

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;

  • measuring and control devices.

This document shall be used together with EN 1010-1:2004+A1. 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 this standard.

This document does not deal with risks generated by noise emitted from the machines. These issues are fundamentally covered in EN 1010-1:2004+A1

This document does not apply to high-pressure cleaning devices and screen printing presses for textile substrates.

This document is not applicable to printing and varnishing machines including pre-press machinery which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
