1.1 This European Standard applies to clipping machines
This European Standard specifies safety and hygiene requirements to minimise the hazards which can arise
during the commissioning, the use and the maintenance of clipping machines for portioning and closing of
casings filled with foodstuffs, and intended to be used in butcheries, meat processing factories, main kitchens
and other food processing factories.
This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to
clipping machines, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer
(see Clause 4).
This European Standard is not applicable to clipping machines which are manufactured before the date of
publication of this European Standard by CEN.
