COMPLIANCE WITH EUROPEAN DIRECTIVES AND STANDARDS
The BTSR equipment comply with the safety requirements provided by Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE and
with the Electromagnetic Compatibility requirement provided by EMC Directive 2014/30/UE.
During the design and manufacturing stages of BTSR equipment, the relevant paragraphs of the following
Harmonized Standards have also been used as reference and guide line.

Noise Levels
The MULTIFEEDER devices have been designed and manufactured to reduce the noise to minimum levels
during operation. Weighted A acoustic pressure level generated by the machine and measured (
following the
criteria defined by the standards in force
) at the operator working zones, during normal operation, is less
than 70 db (A)
SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF CONTROL SYSTEMS
Within the MULTIFEEDER device, the only safety control system (
motor locking prior to carry out the
threading operation
) has been implemented according to the principles of the Harmonized Norm EN ISO
13849-1:2015. The following table shows the values of Category and of Performance Level (PL)
implemented (
with respect to the Required Performance Level (PLr) resulting from the risk assessment
).
The PL calculation has been carried out by means of the “SISTEMA” (IFA) software.
