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".

Bewegliche Straßenbaumaschinen - Sicherheit - Teil 4: Besondere Anforderungen an Verdichtungsmaschinen

Dieser Teil von EN 500 enthält die Sicherheitsanforderungen für Verdichtungsmaschinen, wie in Abschnitt 3 definiert, und behandelt alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und Gefährdungsereignisse, die auf Verdichtungsmaschinen zutreffen, wenn sie bestimmungsgemäß verwendet werden. Die nach vernünftigem Ermessen für den Hersteller vorhersehbare Nutzung der Maschine außerhalb der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung ist ebenfalls berücksichtigt.
Dieses Dokument legt ergänzende Anforderungen und/oder Ausnahmen von EN 500-1 Gemeinsame Anforderungen fest.
