scope:

This document, together with part 1, deals with all significant hazards for earth-moving machinery - cable-excavators (as defined in EN ISO 6165) when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer associated with the whole life time of the machine (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 lifting operation, extracting equipment and moving equipment (e.g. rail track, walking legs, pontoon, ship) or stationary undercarriage. Drilling and foundation equipment (covered by EN 16228-1:2014 to EN 16228-7:2014) are not dealt with in this standard. The requirements of this part are complementary to the common requirements formulated in prEN 474-1. This document does not repeat the requirements from prEN 474-1, but adds or replaces the requirements for application for earth moving machinery - cable-excavators. This European Standard is not applicable to cable excavators manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.
