c) single and multi roller- contra-rotating /synchronised machines, so-called combined machines (see Figure 4).
The machines are not intended to be used during transportation.
This standard specifies safety requirements for design, construction and operation.
It takes account of intended use, foreseeable misuse, component and systems failure.
This standard takes account of material feeding and handling devices which, when attached to the machine, become an integral part.
