This British Standard is the UK implementation of
EN 13534:2006+A1:2010 It supersedes BS EN 13534:2006 which is withdrawn
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated
in the text by tags Tags indicating changes to CEN text carry the number
of the CEN amendment For example, text altered by CEN amendment A1
is indicated by !"
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee MCE/3, Safeguarding of machinery, to Subcommittee MCE/3/5, Food industry machines
A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request to its secretary
WARNING
BSI, as the UK member of CEN, is obliged to publish EN 13534 as a British Standard However, attention is drawn to the fact that the
UK consistently voted against its approval during its development as
a European Standard The reason for this disapproval is that, in the opinion of UK experts, the protection of the infeed and outfeed openings to the injection area of the machine as described in clauses 5.2.2.1.2 and 5.2.3.1.2 is inadequate The distances specified in these clauses do not meet the requirements of BS EN 294:1992 and, consequently, allow ready access to the hazardous area UK experts consider that the requirements of BS EN 294:1992 should be observed
This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of
a contract Users are responsible for its correct application
Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legal obligations.

According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom
Trang 8Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this document
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard
Trang 91 Scope
1.1 This standard applies for
curing injection machines with infeed and outfeed devices;
curing injection machines with infeed and outfeed devices and loading devices
This standard does not apply to portable/hand guided curing injection devices
!deleted text"
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to curing injection machinery when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable
by the manufacturer (see Clause 4)
This document is not applicable to curing injection machines which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN
1.2 This standard covers the following types of curing injection machines:
Curing injection machines consist mainly of a single or multilane curing needle station, holding down clamp, infeed and outfeed devices, machine frame and related drive system, and electrical, electronic, or pneumatic components, depending on machine type
Curing injection machines in the scope of this standard can be equipped with:
infeed chute;
splash guard flaps;
single or multi-lane curing needle bars (needle station);
holding down clamp;
infeed and outfeed conveyor belt;
infeed and outfeed rake;
interlocked transport car at the outfeed side;
loading device with delivery chute
The product being processed (raw meat, game or raw fish) is fed by hand to the infeed device of the curing injection machine The infeed device transports the product to the needle station; the product is then pressed against the infeed device by a holding down clamp The needles of the needle station inject the curing liquid or other fluids into the product The outfeed device then transports the product away from the needle station This standard also covers the loading devices, which can be necessary in the case of machines with high capacity and/or great height
Curing injection machines in the scope of this standard can be stationary or mobile

During the production of this standard the following assumptions were made:
Curing injection machines are installed at a sufficient lighted place
They are used only by designated and skilled operators
Although it should be advised against, this standard, taking into account practice, deals with the hazards due to cleaning with pressurised water
