BS EN 1009-4:2020

This standard BS EN 1009-4:2020 Machines for mechanical processing of minerals and similar solid materials. Safety is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.220 Construction equipment
• 73.120 Equipment for processing of minerals

This document, to be used together with EN 1009?1:2020, specifies the safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of screening machinery for the mechanical processing in quarrying, recycling and processing mineral and by-products as defined in 3.1.

In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices (including residual risks) to be provided by the manufacturer.

When requirements of this document are different from those which are stated in EN 1009?1:2020, the requirements of this document take precedence over the requirements of EN 1009?1:2020 for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this document.

This document, together with EN 1009?1:2020, deals with all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to screening machinery when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Annex C).

This document does not cover:

• design relating to road traffic regulations;

• hazards arising from the use of the machines in potentially explosive atmospheres as well as from processing of explosive materials and risks related to electromagnetic compatibility;

• specific hazards related to mobile machinery.

This document is not applicable to screening machinery which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
