Earth-moving machinery - Safety - Part 12: Requirements for cable excavators prEN 474-12 rev

Scope

This part of EN 474 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to cable excavators
as defined in EN ISO 6165:2006, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are
reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This European Standard applies also to cable excavators, their undercarriage and upper-structure, if intended for
use in combination with other equipment or attachment, such as drill rigs, pile driving and extracting equipment and
moving equipment (e.g. rail track, walking legs, pontoon, ship) or stationary undercarriage. This European Standard
is not dealing with the specific hazards due to these additional equipment or attachment.
NOTE For these additional equipment or attachment, relevant specific European Standards should be considered where
available, for example:
- for pile driving and extracting equipment: EN 996:1995;
- for drill rigs: EN 791:1995.
The requirements of this part are complementarily to the common requirements formulated in EN 474-1:2006.
This part does not repeat the requirements from EN 474-1:2006, but adds or replaces the requirements for
application for cable excavators.
This part specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant
hazards, hazardous situations and events during commissioning, operation and maintenance of the machinery in
the scope.
This European Standard is not applicable to cable excavators manufactured before the date of publication of this
European Standard by CEN.
