EN 500-4:2006/FprA2

Mobile road construction machinery - Safety - Part 4: Specific requirements for compaction machines

This part of EN 500 specifies the safety requirements for compaction machines as defined in Clause 3 and deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to compaction machines, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable.
This document specifies additional requirements to and/or exceptions from EN 500-1 "Common requirements".
This part of EN 500 is not applicable for seated ride-on operated rollers with a drum width less than nominal  0,8 m.

Overview

EN 500-4:2006/FprA2 (CEN) - "Mobile road construction machinery - Safety - Part 4: Specific requirements for compaction machines" defines safety requirements specific to compaction machines (rollers) used in road construction. It supplements EN 500-1 ("Common requirements") and addresses all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to compaction machines during intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse. The draft amendment (FprA2) modifies scope and specific clauses to clarify requirements for small-drum rollers and operator information.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and applicability
  • Applies to compaction machines as defined in the standard; addresses both normal operation and foreseeable misuse.
  • Not applicable to seated ride‑on rollers with a nominal drum width less than 0.8 m.
• Warning signals and devices (Clause 7.1 - modified)
  • For rollers with a nominal drum width less than 1 m, a warning decal must be affixed so it is visible from the operator’s station.
• Instruction handbook (Clause 7.2 - modified)
  • For small‑drum rollers (< 1 m) the handbook must include:
    • Tipping angle and job-site circumstances that negatively affect stability (e.g., kerbstone height, dynamic influences).
    • Warnings about additional risks when driving close to edges (kerbstones, banks, trenches, potholes) and the hazard of exceeding edges.
• Document status and structure
  • This amendment was prepared by CEN/TC 151 and is presented to CEN members for acceptance. It supports essential requirements of relevant EU Directives and modifies EN 500-4:2006+A1:2009 where indicated (including deletion/revision of annexes).

Applications and users

This standard is practical for:

• Manufacturers of compaction machines and rollers - to design and label machines for compliance.
• Safety engineers and CE conformity assessors - to verify machines meet machine safety and operator information requirements.
• Procurement and fleet managers - to specify compliant compaction equipment for roadworks.
• Operators and trainers - to understand stability limits, edge hazards and required machine markings and handbook content.
• Regulators and certification bodies - for harmonized interpretation of safety requirements tied to EU directives.

Related standards

• EN 500-1 - Common requirements for mobile road construction machinery (this part provides additional requirements/exceptions to EN 500-1).
• Relevant EU machinery safety directives and national implementations administered by CEN members.
