This European Standard deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant for chip and dust extraction systems (woodworking) with fixed installation as listed in clause 4, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer, including reasonably foreseeable misuse.
This European Standard deals also with the technical requirements to minimize the hazards in connection with the temporary storage of wood dust and chips in a silo including charging and discharge systems. This European standard does not apply to:
a) chip and dust extraction systems with filters installed indoors;
b) extraction equipment (e. g. extraction hoods, ducts) within a woodworking machine i. e. up to and including the outlet to which the extraction system is connected;
c) chip and dust extraction systems designed for KST values above 200 bar ms-1;
d) mechanical conveying systems between filter and storage facility.
This European Standard is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.
