Safety in winding for film and sheets

CEN (European Committee for Standardization) has published the final version of EN 13418:2013 concerning the safety requirements of winding machines for film or sheets, which will come into force upon publication in the European Official Journal.
EN 13418:2013 is one of the 19 European harmonized standards in force, published by CEN/TC 145, whose secretariat and presidency has been managed by Assocomaplast on behalf of UNI, since 1995.
In this regard, it should be noted that in December 2012 a similar international technical committee - ISO/TC 270 - has been activated for the study of standards for plastics and rubber machinery and the presidency given to UNI, with Assocomaplast support.
The first working group activated by ISO is the one on injection molding machines, which met in Frankfurt on May 14 and 15, 2013 and which has been already scheduled on December 11-13, 2013.
