Standards Development

Scope

This European Standard specifies electrical and flammability safety requirements for conveyor belts intended for general purpose use. Conveyor belts covered by this European Standard and intended for use in flammable atmospheres are intended for use on conveyor belt installations (machinery in power plants, e.g.).

This European Standard is not applicable to light conveyor belts as described in EN ISO 21183 1:2006 nor is it applicable to conveyor belts which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.

Attention is drawn to Annexes ZA.

NOTE A summary of the requirements of this European Standard is given in Table 1. This is intended for quick reference only.

Purpose

EN 1554 has been replaced by EN ISO 20238

The document (EN 12882) has to be checked and all references to EN 1554 have to be replaced with references to EN ISO 20238.

Supplies without certification or at least detailed test results are risky for safety relevant equipment.

Certificates and test reports from an accredited testing laboratory in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 should be submitted.

Paragraph 4.5.1 requires conveyor belts class „3A“ and „3B“ to be tested according to procedure B1. Table 1 states that these conveyor belt classes shall be tested acc. to procedure A1. Paragraph 4.5.1 has to be revised.
