- only trained adult persons operate the machines;
- the machines are used in adequately illuminated areas.
This European Standard,referring for electrical safety to EN 60204-1 with criteria that can be applied to different designs and variants,is mainly intended for machines manufactured in small series.
1.2 This European Standard does not apply to:
- separate mechanical loading and unloading conveyors;
- chemical dosing devices which are not incorporated into the machine;
- steam generators;
- gas heating equipment.
1.3 Noise is not considered to be a significant hazard for these machines.This does not mean that the manufacturer of these machines is absolved fromreducing noise and making a noise declaration.Therefore a noise test code is included in Annes A.
1.4 This European Standard is not applicable to dishwashing-machines with conveyor which are manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.
