BS EN 1807-2:2013

Comprehensive Wood Technology Standard for Safety and Compliance

BS EN 1807-2:2013 is the essential wood technology standard that provides detailed technical specifications and safety requirements for the design and construction of wood processing machinery. Developed by the British Standards Institution (BSI), this standard is a crucial reference for manufacturers, operators, and anyone involved in the wood processing industry.

Ensure Workplace Safety with Rigorous Technical Specifications

This standard covers a wide range of wood processing equipment, including:- Circular saw benches- Dimension saws- Vertical panel saws- Narrow band sawing machines- Wide band sawing machines- Planing machines- Thicknessing machines- Spindle moulding machines- Tenoning machines- Mortising machines- Multi-blade rip sawing machinesFor each type of machinery, BS EN 1807-2:2013 outlines rigorous technical specifications and safety requirements, ensuring that wood processing equipment is designed and constructed to the highest standards. Key areas covered include:- Mechanical safety- Electrical safety- Guarding and protective devices- Ergonomic design- Noise and vibration control- Maintenance and inspectionBy adhering to the requirements of this standard, manufacturers can be confident that their wood processing equipment meets or exceeds the latest safety and performance benchmarks, providing a safer working environment for operators and reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.

Achieve Compliance and Regulatory Approval

Compliance with BS EN 1807-2:2013 is essential for manufacturers and operators in the wood processing industry. This standard is recognized as the authoritative reference for wood technology safety and is widely accepted by regulatory bodies, industry associations, and customers.By demonstrating compliance with BS EN 1807-2:2013, manufacturers can:- Obtain the necessary regulatory approvals and certifications to sell their products in the European market- Differentiate their products from competitors and build trust with customers- Reduce the risk of legal and financial liabilities associated with workplace accidents and non-compliance- Contribute to a safer and more sustainable wood processing industry

Comprehensive Technical Guidance for Manufacturers and Operators

In addition to the detailed technical specifications, BS EN 1807-2:2013 also provides comprehensive guidance on the design, construction, and operation of wood processing machinery. This includes information on:- Risk assessment and hazard identification- Control systems and safety-related parts- Maintenance and inspection procedures- Operator training and competency requirementsBy following the guidance outlined in this standard, manufacturers and operators can ensure that their wood processing equipment is designed, installed, and used in a safe and responsible manner, minimizing the risk of accidents and promoting a culture of safety in the industry.Whether you're a manufacturer, operator, or anyone involved in the wood processing industry, BS EN 1807-2:2013 is an essential reference for ensuring safety, compliance, and best practices in your operations.
