1.1This European Standard applies for cutting machines for laminated glass including the following steps: transport and positioning, synchronous cutting (scoring) from both sides, break-out, electrical heating and separation.1.2This European Standard deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to cutting machines for laminated glass when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). Those hazards, which are dealt with in the ad-hoc standard EN 619 for conveyors are excepted. This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards during commissioning, operation and maintenance. Hazards from noise are not considered to be significant.1.3This European Standard is not applicable to cutting (scoring) and break-out of monolithic glass (see EN 13035-3 and EN 13035-6).1.4This European Standard is not applicable to the cutting of laminated glass by sawing or by the use of high-pressure liquid.1.5This European Standard is not applicable to the significant hazards of conveyors and machines for the manufacture, treatment and processing of flat glass such as tilting tables.1.6This European Standard is not applicable to cutting machines for laminated glass which are manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.
