Standards Development
This document specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from significant hazards during setting, operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance of an IS machine as a glass forming machine.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations, or hazardous events, except for commissioning, installation, dismantling, and disposal, when it is used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
It applies to the design and construction of IS machines, including the gob distributor and machine conveyor.
This document does not deal with gob feeders (see EN 13042-1:2007+A1:2009) and handling machines for feeding (see EN 13042-2:2004+A1:2009) which are self-standing machines used for the delivery of portions of melted glass to hollow glass forming machines like glass presses (see EN 13042 5:2003+A1:2009).
This document does not deal with additional equipment for IS machines.
This document is not applicable to the machinery or machinery components manufactured before the date of its publication.
The project shall provide a globally consistent, technologically up-to-date, and practical safety standard for the manufacturing of container and specialty glass machinery. At this point in time, only a European standard exists, and EN 13042-3:2007+A1:2009 is outdated. The experts (machinery manufacturers and machinery users) are working on a new standard and they are convinced of the excellent quality of the draft in progress, providing a sound base for marking and certification. The current draft also addresses cyber security topics, of cause within the still given limits of useful standards to reference to. An overview on the content is attached as a separate document.
