BS EN 12629-8:2002+A1:2010

1.1 This part of EN 12629, taken together with EN 12629-1:2000+A1:2010 applies to hydraulic machines for the manufacture of bricks, blocs and elements of calcium-silicate (as illustrated in Annexes A and B).

NOTE Calcium-silicate can be replaced by concrete.

EN 12629-1:2000+A1:2010 specifies general requirements applicable to machines for the manufacture of constructional products from concrete and calcium–silicate.

This document specifies the additional requirements to and/or the deviations from EN 12629-1:2000+A1:2010 specific to the machines it covers.

1.2 This European Standard deals with all significant hazards pertinent to these machines, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards.

Noise hazard and vibration hazard are considered as not significant for those machines.

1.3 This European Standard applies to the machines from the point at which the mixture enters the machine (see point 1 at annex A, B) until the point where the green products are removed from the machine to the curing system (see point 2 of annex A, B).
