The objective of this Standard is to specify the safety requirements for machine design, construction, installation, commissioning, operation, adjustment, maintenance and cleaning of pallet wrapping machines.

Pallet wrapping machines are used extensively in Europe, in an increasingly wide range of industries. They contain several significant hazards and have the potential to cause serious injury.

Pallet wrapping machines fulfil the following major tasks:

 securing of palletised or unpalletised loads to prevent them collapsing and displacing during transport, handling, storage;

 pooling of loads and parts to form loads suitable for transport;

 protection against external influences;

 conditional protection against theft.

This document is a type C standard as defined in the Introduction of EN ISO 12100:2010.

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this standard.

When provisions of this type C standard are different from those, which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence.
