Title (German)

Nahrungsmittelmaschinen - Geschirrspülmaschinen mit Transporteinrichtung - Sicherheits- und Hygieneanforderungen; Deutsche Fassung EN 14957:2006+A1:2010

Overview

This standard defines relevant requirements set out in Annex I of the new EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, relating to machines which were placed on the European Economic Area (EEA) market for the first time, with the intent of simplifying the means of proving conformity with such requirements. Once this standard is designated a harmonized standard in the Official Journal of the European Communities, a manufacturer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive (the so-called presumption of conformity). This European Standard applies to multizones dishwashing-machines with passing through motorized belt (flight type) or rack conveyor. In case of flight type, the loading and unloading areas are part of the machine. The machines covered by this European Standard are intended for washing, rinsing and optionally drying the dishes and the kitchen utensils used in food and catering premises such as restaurants, hotels, and so on. This European Standard applies to dishwashing machines with conveyor with a linear speed less than or equal to 5 m/min for the dishes and kitchen utensils. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to dishwashing machines with conveyor, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see clause 4). This European Standard deals with all hazards which can arise during commissioning, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of the machine. When drawing up this European Standard, the following assumptions were made: only trained adult persons operate these machines; the machines are operated in adequately illuminated areas. This European Standard, referring for electrical safety to EN 60204-1 with criteria that can be applied to different designs and variants, is mainly intended for machines manufactured in small series. This standard does not apply to: separate mechanical loading and unloading conveyors; chemical dosing devices which are not incorporated into the machine; steam generators; gas heating equipment. Noise is not considered to be a significant hazard for these machines. This does not mean that the manufacturer of these machines is absolved from taking measures to reduce noise and making a noise declaration. Therefore, a noise test code is included in Annex A. This document is not applicable to dishwashing-machines with conveyor which were manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN. This standard contains the German version of EN 14957:2006+A1:2010 which has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 153 "Machinery intended for use with foodstuffs and feed" of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). The following changes have been made with respect to DIN EN 14957:2006: a) The standard has been changed and adapted with respect to the new Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC; b) An informative Annex ZB on the relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC has been added. The national interests during the preparation of the standard were represented by Committee NA 060-18-04 AA "Großküchenmaschinen" ("Catering equipment") of Technical Section "Food Processing Machinery" of the Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee (NAM) at DIN. Representatives of the interested parties were involved in the preparation of this standard.
