Scope

This part of EN 474 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to pipelayers
as defined in EN ISO 6165:2006, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are

The requirements of this part are complementary to the common requirements formulated in
EN 474-1:2006+A1:2009.
This part does not repeat the requirements from EN 474-1:2006+A1:2009, but adds or replaces the
requirements for application for pipelayers.
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 pipelayers.
This part specifies additional requirements for rear mounted winches.
Pipelayers with rotating upper structure are excluded from the scope of this document. However, specific
requirements are under development.
