EUROPEAN DIRECTIVES

European directive 89/686/CE in Europe

For Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the employer is required to:
• Provide the appropriate PPE,
• Check the correct choice of PPE has been made in relation to the risks involved,
• Ensure that PPE is used effectively,
• Check their conformity,
• Notify the people responsible for their implementation (workshop manager, etc .),
• Make sure that any PPE are in proper working order and are correctly maintained,
• Notify users against which risks the PPE protects them and
• Train the users .
Conforming PPE (self-certified or certified by an accredited body) shall be marked both visibly and indelibly with (CE marking for
Europe):
• The manufacturer's name and logo,
• PPE trade name or reference,
• Expiry date, where appropriate .
PPE must be delivered with a notice as well as a declaration of conformity to applicable regulations (to the main requirements of
European directive 89/686/CE in Europe) .

Operator safety

Components approved in accordance with standards EN 60204-1 (safety of machinery):
• Emergency stop (as per IEC 947-5-1): the emergency stop is located on the control display; it activates immediate shutdown of the
following components: oven, laser, motors, turbine, as well as the pneumatic drives,
• Emergency shutdown (as per IEC 947-3): this involves a circuit-breaker located on the network upstream of the machine . It can be
used to cut off the power supply to the machine in a single operation,
• Disconnection from electricity grid: this involves the main isolating switch located on the machine's connection panel. When the
machine is off this device isolates the machine from the network and enables electrical isolation (subject to shut off the Uninterrupt-
able Power Supply),
• Safety switches (as per EN 1088): these devices isolate the laser when opening one of the main doors or the galvanometric head .
They make it possible to lock and unlock the main doors, and
• Laser safety window (as per EN 207): this device is located on the front face of the machine and enables the operator to look
inside the chamber while being protected from laser reflections. There is, therefore, no need to wear laser eye protectors when the
system is in normal operating mode .
