Introduction
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1:2003.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered is
indicated in the scope of this European Standard.
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.
When compiling this European Standard it was assumed that:
 negotiations occur between the manufacturer and the user concerning especially the building components in
relation to:
 static;
 sufficient free space (minimum gap) between vehicles and fixed parts of the building and between cars on
adjoining rails;
 laying of tracks;
 local separation of the area of process related transport on rails and the machinery and equipment
connected with it, e.g. for setting, dehacking, drying, burning, from other work stations and intended traffic
routes;
 hazards of crushing between moving cars and fixed parts of machines for setting and loading or dehacking or
unloading are covered by the preventive measures at these machines;
 the place of use is adequately lit;
 the existing ad hoc standards for components are applied;
 components without specific requirements are designed in accordance with usual engineering practice and
calculation codes;
 components are kept in good repair and working order, so that the required characteristic remain despite wear;
 specifications have been met about interface with machinery and equipment connected with the process
related transport with transfer platforms and cars such as kilns, dryers, machinery for setting, loading,
dehacking, unloading;
 the design and working mode exclude an overload of cars.

1 Scope
1.1 This European Standard applies for the design, installation and commissioning of transfer platforms and cars
and ancillary devices for the process related transport of ceramic material on rails. The rails, which are considered
to be horizontal and the movement of vehicles in equipment and machinery connected with the process related
transport such as kilns, dryers, collector scaffolds, machinery for loading and unloading are also covered.
1.2 This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to
transfer platforms and cars, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the
manufacturer (see Clause 4). Noise is not a significant hazard. This document deals with the preventive measures
to minimise these hazards which can arise during commissioning, the operation and maintenance.
1.3 This European Standard is not applicable to:
1.3.1 kilns and dryers (see EN 746-1:1997), machinery for setting and dehacking of heavy clay and refractory,
products and machinery for loading and unloading of fine clay tiles;
retrial, packaging and storage of finished products;
1.3.2
1.3.3 transport of cars with not rail mounted equipment e.g. with driverless trucks (see EN 1525:1997);
1.3.4 transfer platforms and cars which are driven by human power.
1.4 This European Standard is not applicable to transfer platforms and cars and ancillary devices which are
manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.

5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
5.1 General
Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of Clause 5.
In addition, transfer platforms, cars and ancillary devices shall be designed according to the principles of both parts
of EN ISO 12100 for hazards relevant but not significant which are not dealt with by this document (e.g. sharp
edges).
For applications of EN 418:1992, EN 954-1:1996, EN 982:1996, EN 999:1998, EN 1037:1995, EN 1088:1995,
EN 60204-1:1997 and due to complexity and variety of machinery covered, the manufacturer shall carry out an
adequate risk assessment for the requirements thereof where choice is necessary.
NOTE This specific risk assessment is part of the general risk assessment relating to the hazards not covered by this type
C standard.
5.2 General requirements
5.2.1 Mechanical brakes
Transfer platforms and cars with own drive, e.g. finger cars, shall be equipped with mechanical brakes to be able to
be stopped and hold (immobilised) at any time even if there is a failure of the power supply. When transfer
platforms and cars with own drive are controlled in the automatic mode devices to brake and hold shall be self-
acting, when the power supply fails.
5.2.2 Devices against unintended movement
Devices shall be installed, which brake or stop unintended movement of cars without own drive caused by kinetic
energy or by local falling gradient of the track:
 at rail ends in front of transfer platforms driving ways;
 where trip devices (see e.g. 5.3.1.2) or hold-to-run control devices (see 5.3.1.3) are provided to interrupt
dangerous movements of cars at crushing points;
 in the working area of permanent setting and/or unloading stations, at which persons stand on the floor;
 on transfer platforms.
Suitable devices are for example:
 brakes acting permanently from outside on the cars;
 back run mechanisms on tracks where cars are moved only in one direction.
Devices operating in the positive mode shall be (additionally) installed:
 for immobilising finger cars with ride on drivers on transfer platforms (see 5.2.9.3), e.g. by self acting bolts;
 to prevent cars, which move in elevated position from running off from rail ends in front of transfer platform
driving ways in multi level buffers, e.g. by self acting mechanical stops, which are only retracted by positive
operation by means of the transfer platform, when the latter is correctly positioned to the respective track.

NOTE For immobilising cars in variable areas, where people stand on the floor for setting/unloading see 5.3.9.

Annex B (informative)).
5.2.4 Lighting
Motor driven finger cars with ride on driver shall be equipped with minimum one head lamp.
5.2.5 Supply disconnecting (isolating) devices
For each machine and for conductor wires, flexible cable systems (reeled, festooned) a lockable supply
disconnecting device according to 5.3.2.a), b) or c) of EN 60204-1:1997 accessible for the operator shall be
provided. The operating handles (manual controls) shall be black or grey with the exception of those which are
provided for emergency stop (see e.g. 5.5.2.1).
5.2.6 Covering of conductor wires
Electrical conductor wires even if they are out of reach shall be covered at least according to IP 2X (see 13.8.1 of
EN 60204-1:1997) to prevent direct contact.
5.2.7 Winches
Overwinding of loose coils of ropes from winch drums shall be prevented, e.g. by use of permanent weak acting
brakes or by means ensuring permanent pressure on the ropes. To achieve a correct wrap of the rope and to avoid
an excessive strain for ropes the following requirements shall be met:
 the safety factor shall be 4;
 the fleet angle of the rope to the drum shall not exceed 4°, otherwise a mechanical rope guide shall be
provided;
 the ratio diameter of the rope to diameter of the drum shall be minimum 1:14;
 the safety factor for the transmission force of traction sheaves shall be > 1,5;
 the ratio of rope diameter to diameter of the traction sheave shall be minimum 1:20 and grooves shall be V-
shaped;
 the height of flanges of drums shall equal the number of layers plus 1.
NOTE Checks of ropes: see 7.2.7.
5.2.8 Rope take-up
Rope take-up on winch drums, deflection and return pulleys shall be guarded against accidental drawing-in e.g. by
a cover from above or filling in of nips of return pulleys.
5.2.9 Interface between transfer platforms and cars
5.2.9.1 Transfer platforms in conjunction with cars shall be designed and interlocked in such a way that:
5.2.9.2 cars can only be moved off or onto transfer platforms, when the platform is exactly adjusted to the
adjoining rails and immobilised, e.g. by bolts, and
5.2.9.3 transfer platforms can only be moved when:
 mechanical blocks which are used to fulfil the requirements of 5.2.9.2 are disengaged, and
11

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

SIST EN 13367:2005
EN 13367:2005 (E)
 pushing or pulling devices are retracted, and
 cars without own drive are completely delivered or are positioned as intended on the platform and immobilised,
and
 finger cars with ride on drivers are positioned as intended and immobilised in the positive mode e.g. by
jumping of a bolt into a groove, and
5.2.9.4 interlockings, which are used to comply with the requirements of 5.2.9.2 and 5.2.9.3 are in accordance
with minimum category 1 of EN 954-1:1996.
5.2.10 Running wheels
Wheels of all transfer platforms, finger cars and pushing or pulling devices, which are not safeguarded by design
against access from all sides, shall be fitted with rail strikers on both sides of each wheel.
NOTE Wheels of other cars than finger cars see 5.3.5.
5.3 Traffic area/working area
5.3.1 Avoidance of crushing of the body
5.3.1.1 A gap of minimum 0,5 m in accordance with EN 349:1993 shall be left to avoid the hazard of crushing
of the body in the traffic area between the furthest projecting parts of the moving transfer platforms, cars and their
loads and fixed parts adjacent to the direction of the travel. This gap shall also be left between cars on adjoining
rails (adjacent tracks).

NOTE Cars adjoining continuous smooth walls do not represent a hazard of crushing of the body.
5.3.1.2 The lateral minimum gap of 0,5 m according to 5.3.1.1 does not need to be left in the traffic area if the
hazard of crushing of the body is prevented by trip devices e.g. a pressure sensitive edges or trip bars according to
EN 1760-2:2001 at transfer platforms or mounted at crushing points interrupting the movements of vehicles. The
movement of the vehicle shall be come to a standstill within the total travel of the bar according to 3.21 of EN 1760-
2:2001. The pressure sensitive protective device and the following control shall be according to category 1 of
EN 954-1:1996. Where this is not possible category 3 of EN 954-1:1996 shall be applied. The actuating force shall
be maximum 150 Newton.
NOTE 1 Test of trip bars: see 7.2.6.
NOTE 2 Restart see 5.5.6
5.3.1.3 Where compelling operational or technical reasons demand, that the minimum lateral gap of 0,5 m
according to 5.3.1.1 is not kept in the traffic area, e.g.:
 at the entrance of kilns and dryers;
 at the entrance and inside of scaffolds for collecting and drying;
 where finger cars are turned on transfer platforms;
 at loading and unloading ramps,
the hazard of crushing of the body may be reduced, derogating the requirements of 5.3.1.2, by use of a hold-to-run
control device, if the equipment is controlled exclusively manually and all the following steps are taken:
 the requirements of 5.3.8.2 to 5.3.8.5 are fulfilled, and

 the travel movement can be interrupted in the event of a risk to persons, taking into account e.g. speed, mass,
stopping time, human reaction time (see e.g. 5.2.1 and 5.2.2).
5.3.2 Trip hazards caused by tracks and ancillary devices
Trip hazards in the traffic area shall be avoided or reduced by:
 laying tracks level with the floor. With exception of the working area at permanent setting and/or unloading
stations of kiln cars (see 5.3.7) the upper edge of the rails may be maximum 0,04 m above floor level to give
way for the flanges of the wheels and to allow easy cleaning by avoiding small flange grooves;
 clear visibility or distinct marking of ancillary devices.
5.3.3 Crushing and shearing hazards at rail ends
Where the upper edge of rails exceeds the floor level (see 5.3.2) the hazards of crushing and shearing of the feet
between rail ends in front of transfer platforms driving ways and parts of the moving platform, especially rail ends
on the platform shall be avoided in the traffic area e.g. by sloping off gently to the floor level.
