1.1 This European Standard contains the requirements for stationary machines for the drilling of flat glass,
using a powered rotating tool. Stationary machines are classified into:
a) manual;
b) semi-automatic;
c) automatic single-head or multi-head;
d) fully automatic.
1.2 This European Standard deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to
drilling machines for flat glass when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseeable by the
manufacturer (see Clause 4). This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate
or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards during commissioning, the operation and maintenance.
1.3 This European Standard does not address the safety requirements for conveyor belts, rollers (see
EN 619) or other means of transporting the glass to and from the drilling machine (see e.g. EN 13035-5).
1.4 This European Standard is not applicable to drilling machines which are manufactured before the date
of publication of this European Standard by CEN.
