This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazard, hazardous situation and hazardous event are covered are indicated in the scope of this document. 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 over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this C standard. This European Standard is independent of EN 12547 because it deals specifically with the requirements of the processing of edible oils and fats. EN 12547 is included in the Annex D "Bibliography".
