本欧洲标准规定了安全使用水平打包机的设计，制造和信息的安全要求，用于压实废料或可回收部分（例如纸，塑料，纺织品，罐，纸板，混合废料）（以下简称材料）。它仅包括由输送机或饲料料斗供给的机器，其中捆包手动或自动捆绑。本欧洲标准涵盖的进料斗只能机械或手工进料。 本欧洲标准的范围包括任何机械进给设备，例如皮带式装载和进料输送机或料斗升降机，形成打包机组件的组成部分。但是，气动输送系统超出了本欧洲标准的范围。 本欧洲标准不适用于用于将材料装入进料斗的起重机，起重车或其他移动式工厂。也不适用于使用起重机，起重车或其他移动式工厂装载进料斗的危险。 该欧洲标准不适用于在进料斗（例如分选机，粉碎机，独立穿孔机）的入口侧连接的预处理设备，也不适用于打包机出口侧的设备。 本欧洲标准不涉及吸尘和除尘

This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for the design, manufacture and information for safe use of horizontal baling presses for compacting waste material or recyclable fractions (e.g. paper, plastics, textiles, cans, cardboard, mixed waste), hereafter referred to as materials. It covers only machines fed by conveyors or by feed hoppers where the bales are bound manually or automatically. The feed hoppers covered by this European Standard are only fed mechanically or by hand. The scope of this European Standard includes any mechanical feed equipment, such as belt type loading and feed conveyors or bin lifts, forming an integral part of the baling press assembly. However, pneumatic conveying systems are outside the scope of this European Standard. This European Standard does not apply to cranes, lift trucks or other mobile plant used to load materials into the feed hopper. Nor does it apply to hazards arising from loading the feed hopper using cranes, lift trucks or other mobile plant. This European Standard does not apply to pre-conditioning equipment connected at the inlet side of the feed hopper (e.g. sorter, shredder, stand-alone perforator), nor to equipment at the outlet side of the baling press. This European Standard does not deal with suction and de-dusting mechanisms. This European Standard does not apply to hazards arising from the materials being processed (e.g. asbestos, clinical waste, aerosol containers). This European Standard does not cover risks arising from installation of baling presses in places accessible to the public. All hazards mentioned in Clause 4 are dealt with in this European Standard. This European Standard is not applicable for horizontal baling presses which are manufactured before the date of its publication as an European Standard.
