1.1   This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for armoured face conveyors and covers, conveyor drive units, return units, line pans, chain assemblies, devices for tensioning and locking chains.
This European Standard does not apply to stage loader ancillaries, armoured face conveyors which form part of mineral bunker systems or operate as spillage conveyors, to haulage systems and guides utilised by extraction machines, to the technical requirements for cable-less remote controls, to compressed air powered machines, or to the interfaces between the elements of the conveyor and other machine installations.
Armoured face conveyors are designed for the transport of minerals and rock only.
NOTE   Armoured face conveyors can be used as a base for guiding the extraction machine and as a link between the face roof support and the extraction machine if required.
This European Standard deals with all hazards, hazardous situations and events for the use in mines, when they are used as intended and for the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer.  See clause 4 for the hazards dealt with.
1.2   This European Standard does not cover any hazards resulting from the electrical equipment associated with the machine.  It does not contain any requirements relating to dust suppression or firedamp hazards. Hazards due to noise are also excluded from this European Standard, but a separate European Standard is in preparation where hazards due to noise will be addressed.
It is intended for manufacturers producing and marketing complete machines, and for manufacturers assembling new parts from different origins or assembling new machines even for their own use.  These are called "manufacturers" in this European Standard.
1.3   This European Standard applies to armoured face conveyors which are manufactured after the date of issue of this European Standard.

This European standard specifies the safety requirements and tests for rail locomotives for use in underground mining (i.e. mine locomotives) and other underground workings (e.g. tunnelling locomotives).
1.1   This European standard deals with the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, the operation and the maintenance of locomotives when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative.
1.2   This European standard does not address the special hazards associated with the rack drive of rack and pinion locomotives.
1.3   This European standard does not deal with radiation and vibration.  It does not address remote control locomotives or operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.  Hazards due to noise are excluded from this standard, but a separate standard is in preparation where hazards due to noise will be addressed.1.4   This European standard applies to locomotives which are manufactured after the date of issue of this standard.

1.1   This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for design, construction, installation, maintenance and testing of dock levellers and for safety components on dock levellers.
With the exception of:
a)   dock levellers for marine and aircraft applications;
b)   lifting tables;
c)   vehicle mounted tail lifts.
NOTE 1   Requirements for lifting tables are laid down in EN 1570.
NOTE 2   Requirements for vehicle mounted tail lifts are laid down in EN 1756-1.
1.2   This European Standard is applicable to dock levellers which are used by persons and/or manual or power driven transport equipment (e. g. forklift trucks) as traffic paths between goods vehicles, both road vehicles and rail wagons, and parts of buildings such as loading docks. This standard does not deal with other bridging devices not shown in Figure 1.

This European Standard specifies the requirements related to safety for hoist chain, Grade T (type T quenched and tempered and types DAT and DT case hardened), for use in serial chain hoists manual and power driven.
Type DAT and type DT hoist chains possess surface hardnesses greater than core hardness and are used for power driven chain hoists to offer greater resistance to wear.
Type DT hoist chain differs from DAT hoist chain in having higher surface hardness and/or greater case depth to optimise wear resistance.
The standard is applicable to electrically welded round steel short link hoist chains conforming to
EN 818-1.
The range of nominal size of hoist chains covered by this European Standard is from 4 mm to 22 mm.
The hazards covered by this European Standard are identified in clause 4.

This part of this European Standard defines terms, specifies designations and classifies steel wire ropes and is for use in conjunction with all other parts of this standard.
It applies to ropes that have been manufactured after the date of issue of the standard.

This Part of this European Standard specifies the additional materials, manufacturing and testing requirements to those given in Part 1 for spiral ropes incorporating zinc or zinc alloy coated wires for general structural applications. This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to spiral ropes for general
structural applications, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see clause 4 of EN 12385-1:2002).
This standard applies to spiral ropes for general structural applications which are manufactured after the date of its publication.
NOTE For information only, typical breaking forces for both full-locked coil rope and spiral strand rope are given in annexes B and C for some of the more common sizes.

This Part of this European Standard specifies the particular materials, manufacturing and testing requirements for ropes for general lifting applications.
The particular hazards covered by this Part are identified in Clause 4. This Part of this European Standard does not establish requirements for information for use other than those given in clause 7 of Part 1. Neither does it cover the requirements for ropes fitted with terminations.
Minimum breaking force values for the more common classes, sizes and grades of rope are provided in tables 5 to 17.
