This document applies to machines for mechanical processing of minerals (cement, lime and gypsum, sand and gravel, industrial minerals, metalliferous ore and hard and soft rock aggregates, coal) and -products (slag and ashes, production and demolition waste) in construction and industry.
It deals with the following types of individual machines for the mechanical processing of minerals and similar solid materials:
- feeding machinery in accordance with EN 1009-2;
- crushing machinery in accordance with EN 1009-3;
- milling machinery in accordance with EN 1009-3;
- screening machinery in accordance with EN 1009-4;
- machinery for cleaning, water recycling, sorting (other than screens) and mud treatment in accordance with EN 1009-5;
- mobile machinery in accordance with prEN 1009-6.
This document gives the common safety requirements for mechanical processing machines used for quarrying, recycling and processing mineral and by-products (cement, lime and gypsum, sand and gravel, industrial minerals, metalliferous ore, production and demolition waste, slag handling, hard and soft rock aggregates, coal) in construction and surface mining and is intended to be used in conjunction with one of the parts EN 1009-2 to prEN 1009-6. These machine specific parts (EN 1009-2 to prEN 1009-6) do not repeat the requirements from this document, but add or replace the requirements for the machine type in question.
NOTE 1 The requirements specified in this part of EN 1009 are common to two or more types of machines for the mechanical processing of minerals and similar solid materials.
Specific requirements in EN 1009 2 to prEN 1009-6 take precedence over the respective requirements of this document.
This document also covers assemblies of two or more of the mentioned machines which function as an integrated whole. The machines included in the scope of this document can be fixed, semi-mobile or mobile.
