Bequinor Organises the day ‘technical Appearances and legal situation of the new machines and into use in 2013'

The directive 2006/42/CE includes two very significant changes: it admits explicitly the use of the software in functions of hygiene and incorporates the definitions of manufacturer and of group of machines, that turn into manufacturer, now already of way indubitable, to the user that does significant changes to a machine or together machines to automate the productive process and do that several machines that worked loose happen to do it coordinated, like an alone machine, forming a ‘group of machines'. This forced assumption of the paper of manufacturer, with the inherent obligations of marked CE, technical file, etc., is due to that, according to the directive, this group of machines is a new machine, different of each one of the individual machines and, as it is not frequent that the user of the machine have of a ‘manufacturer' in the classical sense of the term, that accept his responsibility delivering the corresponding statement CE of compliance of the conjoint ‘machine of machines', applies the definition of manufacturer: “In absence of a manufacturer in the sense indicated, will consider manufacturer any physical or juridical person that commercialise or put in service a machine or a cuasi machine covered by the present Managerial”.

The possibility to use the software in functions of hygiene is carrying to modify substantially the new machinery, that does an extensivo use of the servos and adjustable speed drives of hygiene (‘drives' in the technical literature English) as well as all a range of components of hygiene (relays of hygiene, PLCs of hygiene, photoelectric curtains, etc.) that support in electronics equipment dealers equipment dealers and software instead of in electromechanical components. The reliability of all they and of the functions of hygiene that entrust them justifies by means of the PL (performance level, level of provision) of the norm IN ISO 13849-1, or by means of the SIL (safety integrity level, level of integrity of the hygiene); both are a quantification of the probability of failure along an hour. The norm IN ISO 13849 is quite more complicated that his substituted, the norm IN 954-1, that was purely qualitative.

But what happens with the ancient machinery, into use, subject to the RD 1215/1997? It affects him of some way all the previous? The publication by the National Institute of hygiene and Hygiene in the Work in November of 2011 of the new version of the Guide of application of the RD 1215/1997 clears it in his page 157 in which, referring to the norm IN ISO 13849 says that “…it is the (norm) that uses at present for the offer of devices of protection or other subsystems of control specifically developed to realise functions of hygiene and, therefore, would have to take into account in the case that it was necessary to implant said devices or subsystems in machines used”.

Interested in the day

This day is especially headed to a very miscellaneous profile of professionals eat:

• Users in general of industrial machinery.
• Manufacturers in general of industrial machinery.
• Personal of maintenance of complex machinery and installations automated.
• Personal of maintenance, production or engineering of plant that can, eventualmente, turn into ‘manufacturer' of a new team.
• Personal of industrial installations automated responsible of the utilisation, design or modification of his own installations or equipment of work.
• Responsible of the design and manufacture of machinery, especially complex machinery or of high risk.
• Responsible of production and engineering of users of industrial machinery.
• Engineers and industrial engineers that advise to the users and manufacturers of machinery.
• Responsible and technicians of prevention of labour risks.

The approach pretends to explain clearly the scope of the modifications mentioned and guide of practical way, especially to the users of machinery, although also to the manufacturers, regarding how have to act from now. The day pretends to be very open, allowing to the assistants go exposing his concrete questions, apart from the planned final colloquium.

When finishing the day the assistant, so much if it is manufacturer as if it is user of machinery, has to be in conditions to understand how affect the normative modifications to his concrete case and how has to focus his performance for, always inside the legality, do it of the most rational way, efficient and economic possible.

The day does not pretend, by fault of time, go in in depth in how do the technical file of the ‘group of machines' neither deepen in the knowledge of the norm IN ISO 13849.

practical Information

The day will have a length of 8 hours lectivas, in schedule of morning of 09:30 to 14:00 h. And of afternoon of 15:00 to 19:00 h.

Will celebrate the next day 30 January 2013, Madrid Hotel NH Alcalá, C/ Alcalá, 66.

• Global vision of the changes in the legal and technical norms. How they affect to the new machinery and to the existent.

• The new directive of machines, 2006/42/CE.

1. Definitions more important: machine, cuasi machine, commercialisation, put in service, manufacturer.
2. Functions of classical ‘hygiene', based in electromechanical components.
3. Use of the programmable electronic systems in the functions of hygiene
4. Examples of functions of hygiene that support in software
5. Enumeration and description.
6. Projection commented of videos demostrativos.
7. Justification of the idoneidad of the function of hygiene.

• The changes in the norms harmonised that give support to the essential requirement 1.2.1: hygiene and reliability of the systems of control.

1. The norm IN 954-1 in front of the norm IN ISO 13849.
2. The new Norm IN ISO 13849: Lace of the Norm IN ISO 13849 in the directive of machines.
3. The functions of hygiene: quantification of his reliability.
4. Principles of efficiency tested usually admitted.
5. Determination of the level of provision required (PLr).
6. The fundamental elements of the norm: MTTFd: half time between dangerous failures; DCavg: half coverage of the diagnostic; CCF: failures of common cause; Categoria.
7. Possible solutions: evaluation of the level of provision (PL) reached: PFH, probability of failure by hour; PL, level of provision; SIL, level of integrity of the hygiene.

• How affect all the previous to the users subjected to the RD 1215/1997

1. The Guide of application of the RD 1215/1997 (version November of 2011).
2. How joint machines so that they work solidariamente.
3. The technical file of the new “group of machines”;
4. The certificate of conformity and the marked CE of the new ‘group of machines'
5. What do to modify a machine by functional reasons.
6. How incorporate functions of hygiene based in the norm IN ISO 13849 to the pre-existing

• Colloquium

Speaker

The day will be given by Alfonso of Victoria Pou, Industrial engineer, consultor and formador independent, exjefe of hygiene of Industrial Products in the General Sub-directorate of Industrial hygiene of the Government of Catalonia.
