EN 12043:2014 (E) 6 1 Scope 1.1 This European Standard specifies safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of intermediate provers with powered moving pocket carriers as described in Clause 3 and used in the food industry, pastry-making, bakeries, etc. for giving a resting time to dough between different phases of the process. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the installation, adjustment, operation, cleaning, maintenance, dismantling, disabling and scrapping of intermediate provers with moving pocket carriers when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). Noise is not considered to be a significant hazard by intermediate provers. This does not mean that the manufacturer of the machine is absolved from reducing noise and making a noise declaration. Therefore a noise test code is proposed in Annex A. 1.2 The following machines are excluded: — independent automatic loading system not integrated with the machine; — experimental and testing machines under development by the manufacturer; — retarder and final proofer. 1.3 This European Standard is not applicable to intermediate provers with moving pocket carriers which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

One pocket may hold more than one dough piece; — a mechanical transfer system moving the pocket carrier along a defined path inside the machine; — a housing supporting or containing the transmission machinery. The following features may also be included: SIST EN 12043:2015



EN 12043:2014 (E) 8 — an automatic device to control the temperature and/or humidity inside the machine; — a flour dusting device; — other accessories, e.g. germicidal lamp (device to prevent the formation of mould – generally an ultraviolet lamp), pocket drier (device to dry the pockets – generally an infrared lamp or a ventilation system with or without heating); — integrated system(s) to load/unload the pockets. The resting time is the period of time from loading until unloading of a single pocket. This time can be fixed or variable. There are openings in the frame where dough portions are introduced into the machine and where they are taken out. The position of loading and unloading depends on the frame shape and the path of movement of the pockets. Some machines may have more than one unloading position. These machines may provide different resting times depending on which of the unloading positions is being used. The movement of the pockets may be continuous or intermittent. In some cases (e.g. cleaning, lubrication…) access to the path of movement of the pockets – in addition to the loading and unloading openings – is provided. 4 List of significant hazards This clause contains all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events identified by risk assessment as significant for this type of machinery and which require action to eliminate or reduce the risk (see Table 1).
