This document specifies the safety requirements and measures for wide belt sanding machines (defined in 3.1) and for surface treating machines (defined in 3.2) capable of continuous production use, altogether referred to as “machines”. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, as listed in Annex A, relevant to the machines, when operated, adjusted and maintained as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer, including reasonably foreseeable misuse. Transport, assembly, dismantling, disabling and scrapping phases are also taken into account. This document is also applicable to machines fitted with one or more of the following devices/additional working units, whose hazards have been dealt with: —     transversal sanding unit; —     cleaning brushing unit; —     satining roller unit; —     disk brushing unit; —     texturing brushing roller unit; —     texturing brushing belt unit; —     cutterblock unit; —     texturing band saw unit; —     spiked roller unit; —     multi blade unit; —     conveyor directly controlled by the machine; —     additional workpiece vacuum clamping device; —     antistatic bar unit. NOTE 1        An antistatic bar is a device that eliminates electrostatic charges on the workpiece to ease its subsequent cleaning from dust by airflow. This document is also applicable to machines fitted with a laser engraving unit, but the specific hazards of this unit have not been dealt with. The machines are designed to process workpieces with flat surface and even thickness, in shape of panels or beams or frames, consisting of: a)       solid wood; b)       material with similar physical characteristics to wood (see ISO 19085-1:2021, 3.2); c)        gypsum boards, gypsum bounded fibreboards; d)       composite materials with core consisting of, e.g. polyurethane or mineral material; e)       composite boards made from the materials listed above; f)         all materials listed above, already lacquered. This document does not deal with hazards related to: —     specific devices other than those listed above; —     access through in-feed and out-feed openings of machines with a work piece height capacity greater than 700 mm; —     systems for powered loading or unloading, or both, of the workpiece to or from a single machine; NOTE 2        Loading the machine manually includes manually placing the workpiece onto a conveyor directly controlled by the machine. Unloading the machine manually includes manually removing the workpiece from a conveyor directly controlled by the machine. —     out-feed workpieces on machines with feed speed higher than 60 m/min; —     interfacing of the machine with any other machine. This document is not applicable to machines intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere and to machines manufactured prior to the date of its publication.
