EVS-EN 15164:2008

This standard applies to chain- or belt-slotting machines to be used in open or underground quarries. Chain- or belt-slotting machines are used for cutting marble, granite and other stones loose or at the face. They can be stationary or can be moved on rails during work. This standard deals with slotting machines with electric main motor and equipped with one main sawing head. This European Standard covers only machines for plain cutting (with one axis) and does not cover the difficul-ties arising from the geomorphology of the stone to be cut. This standard does not deal with noise as a significant hazard.
