Safety of machinery, Part 3702: Machines for compacting waste materials or recyclable fractions — Horizontal baling presses — Safety requirements

This Standard adopts EN 16252:2012 with modifications for Australia and New Zealand which specifies the safety requirements for the design, manufacture and information for safe use of horizontal baling presses for compacting waste material or recyclable fractions (e.g. paper, plastics, textiles, cans, cardboard, mixed waste), hereafter referred to as materials. It covers only machines fed by conveyors or by feed hoppers where the bales are bound manually or automatically. The feed hoppers covered by this document are only fed mechanically or by hand.
