Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux dispositifs de nettoyage à haute pression guidés à la main couverts par l'EN 60335-2-79:2012, aux systèmes de recyclage de l'eau, aux bâtiments et aux portes servant d'accès à la zone de circulation, aux machines à conducteur porté motorisées et aux machines à conducteur à pied motorisées pourvues d'une transmission du dispositif de déplacement.
NOTE   Les signaux (par exemple les portes, les systèmes d'éclairage) peuvent être fournis par le système de lavage de véhicules.
Le présent document contient des exigences relatives à la protection des personnes et des objets contre les accidents et les dommages pendant l'utilisation et le fonctionnement des systèmes de lavage de véhicules.
Les personnes à protéger sont :
-   les opérateurs ;
-   le personnel de maintenance et de surveillance ;
-   les personnes à proximité des systèmes de lavage de véhicules ;
-   les personnes assises dans le véhicule lors du lavage.
Les objets à protéger sont :
-   les véhicules.
Les phénomènes dangereux significatifs associés aux systèmes de lavage de véhicules sont listés à l'Article 4. Ces phénomènes dangereux ont été établis par une appréciation du risque conformément à l'EN ISO 12100 et nécessitent des mesures pour éliminer le phénomène dangereux ou réduire le risque. Ces mesures sont spécifiées dans l'Article 5 du présent document.
Les exigences de sécurité partent du principe que les systèmes de lavage de véhicules font l'objet d'une maintenance régulière par des personnes formées et compétentes conformément aux consignes du fabricant et que les opérateurs, excepté les utilisateurs des systèmes de lavage libre-service, ont été formés à la manipulation des systèmes de lavage de véhicules.
