Emergency stop shall comply with EN ISO 13850:2008.
Emergency stop device(s) shall be positioned at each working position where the operator needs to intervene (e.g. during the start-up procedure) and at the entry and the exit point of the Film or sheet. They shall function as stop category 0 in accordance EN 60204-1:2006. Where this is technically not possible, e.g. to maintain the tension and alignment, stop category 1 in accordance with EN 60204-1:2006 shall be used (see also 7.2 b)).
If there is a risk of entrapment between rolls, or between a roll and machine parts, means shall be provided to release trapped persons.
