EN 16228-4:2014/FprA1

Drilling and foundation equipment - Safety - Part 4: Foundation equipment

This European Standard, together with part 1, deals with all significant hazards for foundation equipment 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).
The requirements of this part are complementary to the common requirements formulated in EN 16228 1:2014
This document does not repeat the requirements from EN 16228 1:2014 but adds or replaces the requirements for application for foundation equipment.
In this document the general term "foundation equipment" covers several different types of machines used for installation and/or extracting by drilling (machines with a rotary torque greater than 35 kNm), driving, vibrating, pushing, pulling or a combination of techniques, or any other way, of:
-   longitudinal foundation elements;
-   soil improvement by vibrating and soil mixing techniques;
-   vertical drainage.
NOTE   Some foundation equipment may have an additional rotary head with a torque less than 35 kNm for pre-drilling applications; this equipment is covered by this standard.
Machines with one or more of the following characteristics are not covered by this standard, but are covered by EN 16228 2:
-   machines that have a main rotary head torque of less than 35 kNm;
-   machines that have multi-directional drilling capability;
-   machines for which adding and removing rods or digging and drilling tools etc. is usually required during the installation/extraction process.
Typically the process of foundation techniques involves the installation of longitudinal elements such as concrete piles, steel beams, tubes and sheet piles, injection elements as tubes and hoses and casings for cast in situ.

Overview

EN 16228-4:2014/FprA1 (CEN) is the European safety standard for drilling and foundation equipment - Part 4: Foundation equipment. It complements the common requirements in EN 16228-1 and covers significant hazards associated with foundation machines used as intended and under reasonably foreseeable misuse across the machine lifetime. The standard applies to foundation equipment performing drilling, driving, vibrating, pushing, pulling or combined techniques for longitudinal foundation elements, soil improvement and vertical drainage. Machines with main rotary torque greater than 35 kNm are covered; those below that threshold or with multi-directional drilling are covered by EN 16228-2.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope & hazards: Identifies mechanical hazards (overturning, inadequate strength), drawing-in/trapping from rotating parts, noise and combined hazards.
• Stability (Rigid body stability): Requirements for stability assessment; introduces the stability class SC condition and related verification criteria.
• Operating positions & ROPS: For machines ≤ 50 t fitted with roll-over protective structures, compliance with ISO 12117-2:2008 (ROPS for excavators) is required.
• Moving parts / guards: Specific guarding rules for rotary piling rigs: bottom edge ≤ 750 mm above ground, top ≥ 1 600 mm, moveable guards must lock mechanically; exemptions apply for kelly bars, soil-mixing attachments, low-speed casings (≤ 30 rpm), auger cleaners and guide devices.
• Auxiliary equipment: Piling leaders used with rope-driven free-fall hammers must include mechanical stops; higher supports required when personnel enter the danger zone beneath the hammer.
• Verification & documentation: Tests and verification aligned with amended clauses; operator manuals must include capacity tables (NC or SC), allowed extraction forces, and noise-emission clarifications (piling rig noise measured without pile installation equipment).

Practical applications and users

Who uses this standard:

• Manufacturers and OEMs of piling rigs, rotary piling rigs and foundation machinery
• Design and safety engineers conducting risk assessments and machine conformity
• Technical authors preparing operator’s manuals and maintenance instructions
• Test laboratories and notified bodies verifying compliance and CE marking
• Contractors and site managers selecting equipment and implementing site safety controls

Practical uses:

• Design and retrofit guidance for guards, ROPS and stability features
• Preparation of compliant operator manuals and capacity tables
• On-site checks for guarding, hammer supports and noise declaration
• Basis for procurement specifications and conformity assessment

Related standards

• EN 16228-1:2014 (+prA1) - Common requirements (referenced throughout)
• EN 16228-2:2014 (+prA1) - Machines excluded from Part 4 (lower torque / multi-directional)
• ISO 12117-2:2008 - ROPS requirements for machines ≤ 50 t
