0 Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN 1070.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, 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 the other standards for machines that
have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type-C standard.
1 Scope
1.1 This standard contains the requirements for safety for the design and installation of machines with one
movable bridge for cutting of flat glass, which operate by scoring of the glass placed on a horizontal support. This
standard covers the transport of the glass on the machine.
1.2 This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to flat glass cutting
machines, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseeable by the manufacturer (see clause
4). This standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks which can arise from
these significant hazards. Hazards from noise are not considered to be significant.
1.3 This standard does not apply to flat glass cutting by abrasive cutting or by the use of high pressure liquid or
lasers.
1.4 This standard does not apply to loading and unloading of flat glass on to or from cutting machines and the
breaking out (see prEN 13035-5 and prEN 13035-6).
1.5 This standard does not apply to conveyors (see EN 619) and fans as used as integral parts of the machinery.
If there are specific risks that arise in connection with flat glass cutting machines, appropriate measures are
specified.
1.6 This standard does not apply to cutting of laminated glass (see prEN 13035-7).
1.7 This standard does not apply to cutting while the glass is moving.
1.8 This document is not applicable to machinery which is manufactured before the date of publication of this
document by CEN.

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 this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the

5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause and in addition with
EN 292 for pertinent hazards not covered by this document (e.g. sharp edges).
NOTE For hazards not covered by this European standard which are to be reduced by the applications of a B-level
standard such as EN 294, EN 418, EN 953, EN 983, EN 999, EN 1037, EN 1088, EN 60204-1, the manufacturer should carry
out an adequate risk assessment to establish the requirements of the B standard to be applied. This specific risk assessment
should be part of the general risk assessment of the machine.
Where the means of reducing the risk is by the arrangement of the installed machine or by a safe system of work,
the manufacturer shall include in the Information for use a reference to the reduction means to be provided, and to
any limiting value of the requirement and, if appropriate, to the means of verification.
5.1 Common requirements
5.1.1 To avoid the risk of crushing a person’s body by a moving bridge, there shall be a minimum gap of 0,5 m
(see Table 1 of EN 349:1993) between the outermost protruding parts of an accessible bridge (see NOTE) and the
fixed parts outside the table, such as control panel/console. Where the danger zone can be reached only through
interlocked movable guards there shall be a minimum gap of 0,4 m between the outermost protruding parts and the
fixed parts of the guards.
NOTE The moving bridge is considered to be accessible when safety measures do not stop the movement before the
arrival of a person at the danger zone.
1)
5.1.2 Crushing points within reach of a person between the energy chain and/or the bridge assembly shall be
protected by either:
5.1.2.1 locating the crushing points under the table with a minimum distance between crushing point and the
edge of the table of 100 mm, or
5.1.2.2 a guard (cover) which protects against directly reaching the crushing points from outside the table
1)
5.1.3 Crushing points within reach of a person between the mechanical stop and the bridge shall be avoided by
a minimum gap conforming to Table 1 of EN 349:1993 of either:
5.1.3.1 100 mm, when the stop is directly accessible, or
5.1.3.2 25 mm, when the stop is located under the table.
1)
5.1.4 Crushing points within reach of a person between the carriage and bridge construction and the
mechanical stop shall be avoided by a minimum gap of 25 mm according to Table 1 of EN 349:1993.
1)
5.1.5 Wheels within reach of a person shall be equipped with screens (sweepers) on both sides of each wheel
extending down to the surface of the guide rails.
1)
5.1.6 The fixing of guide rails within reach of a person shall be continuously smooth.
5.1.7 The risk of the crushing of fingers between limit switches (position detectors) and operating means within
1)
reach of a person shall be avoided or safeguarded by:
5.1.7.1 limit switches with spring-loaded levers so that a minimum gap of 25 mm is maintained or
5.1.7.2 limit switches which are mounted under the table.

1) Danger zones are not within reach of a person where measures shown in annexes A, B or D are fulfilled.
