Safety of machinery, Part 3702: Machines for compacting waste materials or recyclable fractions – Horizontal baling presses – Safety requirements
The objective of this document is to specify the safety requirements for the design, manufacture and information for safe use of horizontal baling presses for compacting waste material or recyclable fractions (e.g. paper, plastics, textiles, cans, cardboard, mixed waste), hereafter referred to as materials. It covers only machines fed by conveyors or by feed hoppers where the bales are bound manually or automatically. The feed hoppers covered by this document are only fed mechanically or by hand. This standard is an adoption with national modifications, and has been reproduced from, EN 16252:2012, Machines for compacting waste materials or recyclable fractions – Horizontal baling presses – Safety requirements. The modifications are additional requirements and are set out in Appendix ZZ, which has been added at the end of the source text. The secretariat of this committee is managed by Standards Australia.

Measurement of DC magnetic, AC magnetic and AC electric fields from 1 Hz to 100 kHz with regard to exposure of human beings, Part 1: Requirements for measuring instruments
The objective of this standard is to provide guidance for measuring instruments used to measure the field of strength of quasi-static magnetic and electric fields that have a frequency content in the range of 1 Hz to 100 kHz and with DC magnetic fields to evaluate the exposure levels of the human body to these fields. This document is an adoption, with national modifications, and has been reproduced from IEC 61786-1:2013 Measurement of DC magnetic, AC magnetic and AC electric fields from 1 Hz to 100 kHz with regard to exposure of human beings, Part 1: Requirements for measuring instruments.

Exposure to electric or magnetic fields in the low and intermediate frequency range – Methods for calculating the current density and internal field induced in the human body, Part 1: General
The objective of this document is to provide means for demonstrating compliance with the basic restrictions on human exposure to low and intermediate frequency electric and magnetic fields specified in exposure standards or guidelines such as those produced by IEEE and ICNIRP. The objective of this series of Standards is – (a) to propose a more realistic approach to the modelling of the human exposure to low frequency electric and magnetic fields, using a set of models of growing complexity for the field emission source, or the human body or both; and (b) to propose standardised values for the electrical parameters of organs in the human body: electrical conductivity and permittivity and their variation with the frequency. This document is identical with, and has been reproduced from, IEC 62226-1:2004, Exposure to electric or magnetic fields in the low and intermediate frequency range – Methods for calculating the current density and internal electric field induced in the human body – Part 1: General.
