scope:

This part of EN 474 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to earth and landfill compactors 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). Other compactors such as roller compactors, rammer compactors and vibratory plates, which are dealt with in EN 500-1:2006 and EN 500-4:2006 are not covered in EN 474. The requirements of this part are complementary to the common requirements formulated in EN 474-1:2006. 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 earth and landfill compactors.
