The European standards EN 12413 “Safety requirements for bonded abrasive products” and EN 13236 “Safety requirements for superabrasives” stipulate legally binding safety parameters for grinding tools. The grinding tool testing procedures contained within these standards were mainly developed by MPA-Hannover in collaboration with the former DSA (German Grinding Disk Committee), e.g. for manual cut-off grinding wheels, centrifugal force, lateral force and drop hammer testing. In accordance with the BGR 500 accident prevention regulations and the “Equipment and product safety act” (GPSG), the safety parameters must be complied with when grinding tools are brought into circulation or used. Adherence to these parameters is up to the manufacturers and resellers.
All kinds of testing on rotating grinding tools with a diameter of 80 to 1600 mm and weighing up to 660 kg is carried out in the “Centre of Competence for Abrasive Tools” (CCA), at the MPA-Hannover test laboratory. The CCA test stands are also used to perform scientific research on grinding tools. Many research projects, some of which are public funded (e.g. by DFG, VDS, AIF), and publications have contributed towards improving knowledge in the area of rotating grinding tools and developing new testing procedures.
MPA-Hannover is accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 for the testing of grinding wheels and similar products in accordance with the European Standards EN 12413,EN 13236/A1, EN 13743 and others. Thus MPA-Hannover underlines its position as a leading European test laboratory for rotating grinding wheels.
The safety certificates that we issue have achieved global significance. Both German and foreign manufacturers of grinding and cutting wheels have their products tested voluntarily so that they can mark them with an MPA number. For many well-known, international importers, it is a matter of course for us to test their products before they go onto the market.
