This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at
23、the latest by July 2017, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2018. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent ri
24、ghts. This document supersedes EN 609-1:1999+A2:2009. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 2006/42/EC.

25、formative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. EN 609, Agricultural and forestry machinery Safety of log splitters, is currently composed with the following parts: Part 1: Wedge splitters; Part 2: Screw splitters. The new edition of this standard proposes a new specific approach, wh
26、ich evaluates the dangers of specifically this type of machine. Machines have been divided into four categories, which are machines for short logs or long logs with splitting direction of horizontal or vertical to reflect the differences concerning safety issues. The main changes in this new edition
27、 are the following: four (4) different machine categories, which all have machine specific safety requirements and options (Horizontal and Vertical Long logs and Short logs); more specific interpretation of safety distances for these specific types of machines (EN 13857 and machine specific distance
28、s); specific requirements for log handling, which includes holding before, during and after the splitting, but also log lifting; improved ergonomic requirements, which consider the actual use of the machine; requirements for AOPD; requirements for hauling winches that can be, and often are, attached
29、 to the wedge splitters; new tests and verifications, how to interpret the standard. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Re

31、gdom BS EN 609-1:2017EN 609-1:2017 (E) 5 Introduction The structure of safety standards in the field of machinery is as follows: a) type-A standards (basic standards) giving basic concepts, principles for design, and general aspects that can be applied to machinery; b) type-B standards (generic safe
32、ty standards) dealing with one or more safety aspects or one or more types of safeguards that can be used across a wide range of machinery: 1) type-B1 standards on particular safety aspects (e.g. safety distances, surface temperature, noise); 2) type-B2 standards on safeguards (e.g. two-hand control
33、 device, interlocking devices, pressure-sensitive devices, guards); c) type-C standards (machinery safety standards) dealing with detailed safety requirements for a particular machine or group of machines. This document is a type “C” standard as defined in EN ISO 12100. This document is of relevance
34、, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market players with regard to machinery safety: machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises); health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.). Others can be affec
35、ted by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the above-mentioned stakeholder groups: machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises); machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs); service providers, e.g. for
36、 maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises); consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers). The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting process of this document. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards,
37、 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 other standards, for mac
38、hines that have been designed and built in accordance with the requirements of the provisions of this type C standard. BS EN 609-1:2017EN 609-1:2017 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the safety requirements, and their verification for the design and construction of horizontal and vertic
39、al wedge splitters, designed for splitting logs for firewood, irrespective of the nature of the power source used. This standard deals with wedge splitters that are designed so that the splitting operation is activated by one person only, however it is foreseeable that other operators may be working
40、 with the machine e.g. for loading or unloading. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the manufacturer. This document deals with all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events relevant to these machines when they are us
41、ed as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Table 1). This document is not applicable to machines that are designed for both cutting into length for splitting and splitting for firewood. This document is not applicable to wedge splitter
42、s which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
