1.1 This European Standard contains the safety requirements for the design and installation of stationary
glass washing installations as shown as typical in Annex A.
Glass washing installations are designed to perform the following functions: feeding of flat glass to the cleaning
and drying unit and transport (delivery) to the estimation equipment and to the take-off position of the flat
glass sheet. None of the processing phases requires direct manual intervention.
1.2 This European Standard deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events with the
exception of those by interfaces with other machines used in a process line relevant to glass washing installations,
when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseeable by the manufacturer (see
Clause 4). This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks
which can arise from these significant hazards during commissioning, the operation and maintenance.
1.3 This European Standard is not applicable to machines for loading and unloading of glass (see EN
13035-5) and to conveyors (see EN 619) and fans. If there are specific risks that arise by their use as an integral
part of flat glass washing installations, appropriate measures are specified.
1.4 This European Standard is not applicable to glass washing installations for automotive and bent glass.
1.5 This European Standard is not applicable to water preparation and disposal of waste washing liquid.
1.6 This European Standard is not applicable to machinery manufactured before the date of publication of
this European Standard by CEN.
