Noise is not considered to be a significant hazard. This does not mean that the manufacturer is absolved from reducing noise and making a noise declaration. Therefore a noise test code is given in Annex B.

The following machines are excluded:

• experimental and testing machines under development by the manufacturer;

• dough sheeters where the dough is fed to the rollers by gravity (e.g. pizzabase dough sheeters);

• domestic appliances ¹⁾ .

This European Standard is not applicable to dough sheeters which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.
