Introduction
This standard has been produced to assist designers, manufacturers and other interested bodies to interpret
the essential safety requirements in order to achieve conformity with European Legislation on machinery
safety.
This is one of a programme of standards produced by CEN/CENELEC under mandates from CEC and EFTA.
This programme has been divided into several categories to avoid duplication and to develop a logic which will
enable rapid production of standards and easy cross reference between them.
The hierarchy of standards is as follows:
a)
Type A standards (generic safety standards) giving basic concepts, principles for design, and general
aspects that can be applied to all machinery;
b)
Type B standards (group safety standards) dealing with one safety aspect or one type of safety related
device that can be used across a wide range of machinery:
Type B1 standards on particular safety aspects (e.g. safety distances, surface temperature, noise,
etc.);
c)
Type B2 standards are safety related devices (e.g. two hand controls, interlocking devices, pressure
sensitive devices etc.);
Type C standards (machine safety standards) giving detailed safety requirements for a particular
machine or group of machines defined in the scope of the standard.
This is a type B1 standard and its primary purpose is to give guidance to the writers of type C standards when
machines are identified as having hazardous substances as a significant risk. This standard may also be used
as guidance in controlling the risk where there is no type C standard for a particular machine.
Scope
This European Standard deals with principles for the control of risks to health due to hazardous substances
from machinery. This European Standard is not applicable to hazardous substances which are a hazard to
health solely because of explosive, flammable, high or low temperature, high or low pressure or radioactive
properties.
Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed
hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to
apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated
references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies.
EN 292-1, Safety of machinery, basic concepts, general principles for design Part 1: Basic terminology,
methodology.
EN 292-2, Safety of machinery, basic concepts, general principles for design Part 2: Technical principles
and specifications.

Risk assessment
4.1 An identification of hazards and assessment of the foreseeable risks from substances hazardous to
health shall be made by the machinery manufacturer. This shall cover, as far as it is possible, any potential
personal exposures arising from the machine at any stage in its life.
NOTE
4.2 The level of risk depends on the hazardous properties of the substances, the likelihood that personal
exposure will occur and the degree of exposure. The health effects of hazardous substances may be:

Types of emissions
5.1
Airborne emissions
5.1.1 Airborne emissions can be significant sources of exposure to hazardous substances. Inhalation is
usually the most significant of all the routes of entry (see 4.3). In addition, airborne emissions may enter the
body by the other routes particularly when substances are deposited on surfaces of the body or when they are
ingested.
5.1.2
Evaporation and thermal convection e.g. open tanks, crucibles, solvent baths;
Hot metal processes e.g. welding, brazing, soldering, profile cutting, casting;
By-products and effluents e.g. gases from drosses, rubber vulcanisation fumes;
Metal working e.g. nitrosamines from water soluble metal working lubricants.
5.1.3
Substances which affect specific parts of the body e.g. mercury (nerve system, kidney); lead (nerve
system, blood); carbon tetrachloride (nerve system, liver); carbon monoxide (blood).

EN 626-1:1994+A1:2008 (E)
5.1.4 Airborne emissions may be subject to techniques of evaluation based on the measurement of
concentrations of substances in the breathing zone of the persons involved. The results of such
measurements are usually compared with suitable criteria.
5.1.5 There are many methods of sampling air and analysing the sample for airborne contaminants.
Sampling methods and analytical techniques should be selected according to the nature of the airborne
contaminant.
5.2
Non-airborne emissions
5.2.1 Non-airborne emissions can be significant sources of exposure to hazardous substances by ingestion,
contact with skin, eyes or mucous membranes or penetration through the skin (see 4.3).
5.2.2
Migration from open sources e.g. splashing and evaporation/condensation leading to secondary
emissions;
Ruptures.
5.2.3 Exposure to non-airborne emissions can cause ill-health as a result of a variety of hazardous
properties associated with different materials. Some examples include:
Carcinogens e.g. used quenching oil, beryllium oxide, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons;
The ill-health produced may be local to the point of contact or the results of effects elsewhere in the body
(systemic or target organ). In some cases both situations may occur, e.g. phenol.

Colorimetric indications;
Count of microorganism.
Risks of exposure to hazardous substances shall be reduced as far as practical, taking into account scientific
and technical methods and limits relating to exposure and the external environment. In selecting the most
appropriate methods of reducing risks, the manufacturer shall take measures to reduce the risks of exposure
as close to the emission source as possible. The manufacturer shall apply the following principles, in the order
given taking into account the state of the art:
Design of machinery to reduce risks that cannot be eliminated, in the following order of priority:
Reduction of emission;
Information about the residual risks to the user and advice to the user on additional measures to reduce
exposure.

7.1
7.1.1 The manufacturer shall state in the instructions the intended uses of the machine, the hazardous
substances which can arise from the machine (see 4.4) and the operating procedures. The manufacturer shall
specify, when necessary, the level of competence to be achieved by training. The manufacturer shall give
appropriate details in the instructions where setting and operating conditions of the machine can result in a
reduction of risks.
7.1.2 When the machine is supplied with the means of reducing the risks to health the machinery
manufacturer shall supply information on its correct use and factors that may adversely affect its performance.
7.1.3 When there is no such provision of the means of reducing the risk to health, such methods of reduction
and/or testing which are suitable and proven shall be specified by the manufacturer.
7.1.4 If leaks, spills or uncontrolled releases of a hazardous substance can be foreseen, the manufacturer
shall provide information to limit the extent of risks to health and to regain adequate control as soon as
possible. The information should cover, where appropriate, emergency procedures, safe disposal of the
substance and suitable protective equipment to enable the source of release to be safely identified and repairs
to be made.
7.1.5 The manufacturer shall provide information on the necessary personal protective equipment and the
hygiene arrangements.
7.2
The machinery manufacturer shall provide sufficient instructions for the maintenance of the machine without
risk to health.
NOTE
This may include the necessary maintenance to ensure the continuing effective reduction of emissions of
hazardous substances. Implementation by the user may be achieved by a structured maintenance programme employing
various functional and performance checks at suitable intervals as far as applicable.
EXAMPLE
The elements of such a maintenance programme for the user of a mechanical vibrating screen may
include regular checks on:
The physical condition of the hardware, including screen covers; inspection hatches etc., required to
maintain the integrity of containment;
Gaskets and seals associated with covers and hatches to ensure that they are intact and functional;
Flexible connectors on feed and product lines to ensure that they are still connected and in good
condition;
Extraction ventilation, checks include visual checks, routine mechanical inspection and ventilation
performance testing;
Methodology leading to verification procedures for the reduction of risks to health from hazardous substances
emitted by machinery is described in prEN 626-2.
