This part of EN 12629, taken together with EN 12629-1:2000+A1:2010, applies to concrete roof tile making machines. EN 12629-1:2000+A1:2010 specifies general requirements applicable to machines for the manufacture of constructional products from concrete and calcium-silicate. This document specifies the additional requirements to and/or the deviations from EN 12629-1:2000+A1:2010 specific to the machines it covers. Limits of the machine The tile making machine is considered to begin at the point where moulds and/or the concrete are delivered to the fixed part of the machine and ends after the tile cutting process where products on their moulds are delivered on to an outfeed conveyor (see Annexes A and B). Moulds and concrete may be delivered to and removed from the machine by hand. The preparation of the concrete mixture and the transport from the mixer to the machine are not covered by this standard. The equipment for the transport and handling of formed products is not covered by this standard. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards pertinent to these machines, including the interfaces, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards. This standard establishes safety requirements and/or methods of protection which applies to these machines.
