DIN EN 14070:2009 Safety of machine tools - Transfer and special-purpose machines (includes Amendment A1:2009); English version of DIN EN 14070:2009-07
1.1 This standard specifies the technical safety requirements and protective measures to be adopted by
persons undertaking the design, construction and supply (including information which must be provided for
installation and dismantling, with arrangements for transport and maintenance) of transfer and special purpose
machines (see 3.1). These machines are designed to process only a pre-specified metal or analogous
material workpiece, or limited family of similar workpieces by means of a predetermined sequence of
machining operations and process parameters.
1.2 This standard takes account of intended use, including reasonably foreseeable misuse, maintenance,
cleaning, and setting operations. It specifies access arrangements to machining positions and manual
load/unload stations (see 3.4). It presumes access to the machine from all directions. It describes means to
reduce risks to operators and other exposed persons.
1.3 This standard also applies to transport devices for workpiece load/unload when they form an integral
part of the machine.
1.4 This standard deals with significant hazards relevant to transfer and special purpose machines when
they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see clause 4). The safety
requirements and/or protective measures to prevent or minimise those hazards identified in Table 1 and
procedures for verification of these requirements or measures are found in clause 5. Safety requirements
and/or measures are not specified for: Fire and Explosion
1.5 Where machines employ processes which are covered by other standards (e.g. grinding, turning,
forming, EDM, laser processing), the requirements of those standards should be applied (see Bibliography).
1.6 This standard applies to machines which are manufactured after publication of this standard by CEN.
