  Description:

Continuous handling equipment and systems - Safety requirements for fixed belt conveyors for bulk materials

  Purpose

1.1 This document deals with the technical requirements for stationary belt conveyors and systems asdefined in 3.1 to 3.2.4, designed for continuously conveying loose bulk materials. The covered phases oflife cycle are design, setting, operation, maintenance and cleaning.1.2 This document does not cover:a) use in coal mining and open cast lignite mining;b) use for man-riding;c) floating, dredging and ship mounted structures supporting the conveyor;d) biological and chemical hazards resulting from handling foodstuffs or pharmaceuticals;e) the design of the supporting structure which is not part of a conveyor;f) the effects of wind;g) hazards resulting from handling specific hazardous materials, (e.g. explosives, radiating material);h) hazards resulting from contact with or inhalation of harmful fluids, gases, mists, fumes or dust;i) biological and micro-biological (viral or bacterial) hazards;j) hazards caused by the use of ionising radiation sources;k) conveyors fitted with a moving belt with other than a continuous rubber or polymeric surface for theconveying medium;l) hazards associated with the integration of belt conveyors with other machinery;The safety requirements of this document apply to equipment and systems placed on the market afterthe date of publication of this document.NOTE Directive 2014/34/EC concerning equipment and protective systems intended for operation inpotentially explosive atmospheres can be applicable to the type of machine or equipment covered by this EuropeanStandard.
