CCM Premier 92 HPM Premier 92 M10 Paper Guillotine — damage to hearing risk

Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of shearing injury to the upper limbs because the required safety distance between the guillotine blade and the left-hand light curtain (Electrosensitive Protective Device) is not met. The machine is also inadequately guarded at the rear. It does not effectively prevent access to the knife and back gauge during operation because it has a removable guard not requiring tools to open it and its single sensor interlock did not meet the dual channel sensor requirement and safety performance level in BS EN 1010-3:2002+A1:2009, now replaced by BS EN ISO 1264-3:2023. Side access to the back gauge drive spindle is also possible. The two-hand control with a single contact per switch connected to a standard relay did not meet the required safety performance level of Type IIIC in EN 574:1996 as referenced in BS EN 1010-1:2004+A1:2010. EN 574:1996 is now replaced by BS EN ISO 13851:2019 and BS EN 1010-1:2004+A1:2010 replaced by BS EN ISO 12643-1:2023. The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.

Remedy

The original supplier of CCM Premier 92 machines (TCS Finishing Solutions Ltd) is no longer trading. Users with these machines should seek advice from a local machinery guarding provider to bring them into compliance. Risks should be assessed using ‘The Guide To Safe Use Of Power-Operated Paper-Cutting Guillotines’ at https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/books/power-guillotines.htm . Users should also refer to the current applicable standards BS EN ISO 12643-1:2023 and BS EN ISO 1264-3:2023.
