This European Standard defines the health and safety requirements of strip processing lines (see 3.1).This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant for strip processing line machinery and equipment, when used as intended and under conditions foreseen by the manufacturer, but also includes foreseeable faults and malfunctions in case of misuse.This European Standard specifies the requirements to ensure the safety of persons which are to be considered and met during the design, assembly, transport, commissioning, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of the equipment. This European Standard applies to:Strip processing lines for treating metal strip: from take-over point (see 3.6) of the entry section (terminal equipment, see 3.2) through the process (processing and terminal equipment, see 3.3 and 3.2) up to the take-over point of the exit section or interface to other lines (terminal equipment).Terminal equipment for:Processing and terminal equipment for:Terminal equipment for:Entry sectionPickling (5.3.5) (1)Pre-treatment (5.3.6) (1)Hot dipping (5.3.7) (1)Electro plating (5.3.8) (1)Tension levelling/scale breaking (5.3.9) (1)Organic coating by roll coater (5.3.10) (1)Chemical post-treating (5.3.11) (1)Annealing (1), (2)(1) it may include also terminal equipment according to 5.2(2) for annealing lines the requirement for related processing equipment (5.3.5 to 5.3.11) is covered bythis standard. The requirements for the furnace of annealing lines are covered by EN 746-1, EN 746-2 and EN 746-3Exit sectionThis European Standard does not cover:Furnaces in accordance with EN 746-1, EN 746-2 and EN 746-3;Dryers and ovens in accordance with EN 1539;Coil transporting system before take-over-point at the entry section and after take-over-point at the exit section, e. g., hook conveyors, overhead cranes, fork lift and railway trucks a
