EVS-EN 13885:2005+A1:2010

This European Standard specifies safety and hygiene requirements to minimise the hazards which can arise during the commissioning, the use and the maintenance of clipping machines for portioning and closing of casings filled with foodstuffs, and intended to be used in butcheries, meat processing factories, main kitchens and other food processing factories. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to clipping machines, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This European Standard is not applicable to clipping machines which are manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.
