1.1   This European Standard specifies safety and hygiene requirements to minimise the hazards which can arise during the commissioning, the use and the maintenance of mixing machines and their accessories intended to be used in sausage kitchens and industrial operations.

This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to mixing machines, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).

This European standard is not applicable to mixing machines which are manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.
