EN 474-4:2006+A2:2012

Earth-moving machinery - Safety - Part 4: Requirements for backhoe loaders

This part of EN 474 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to wheel and crawler backhoe loaders as defined in EN ISO 6165:2006, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This part also deals with fork application, object handling application and log handling.
The requirements of this part are complementary to the common requirements formulated in
EN 474-1:2006+A1:2009.
This does not repeat the requirements from EN 474-1:2006+A1:2009, but adds or replaces the requirements for application for backhoe loaders.
This part specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events during commissioning, operation and maintenance of backhoe loaders.
This European Standard is not applicable to machinery manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.

Erdbaumaschinen - Sicherheit - Teil 4: Anforderungen für Baggerlader

Dieser Teil der EN 474 behandelt alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und Gefährdungs-ereignisse, die auf Baggerlader, wie in EN ISO 6165:2006 definiert, zutreffen, wenn sie bestimmungsgemäß verwendet werden. Die nach vernünftigem Ermessen für den Hersteller vorhersehbare Nutzung der Maschine außerhalb der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung ist ebenfalls berücksichtigt (siehe Abschnitt 4). Dieser Teil behandelt auch den Einsatz mit Gabelzinken, den Hebezeugbetrieb und den Einsatz mit Baum-klammer. Die Anforderungen gelten ergänzend zu den allgemeinen Anforderungen nach EN 474-1:2006+A1:2009. Dieser Teil wiederholt nicht die Anforderungen nach EN 474-1:2006+A1:2009, aber ergänzt oder ersetzt diese für den Einsatz von Baggerladern. Dieser Teil beschreibt die geeigneten technischen Maßnahmen, die erforderlich sind, die Risiken, die auf-grund signifikanter Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und Gefährdungsereignisse, die während der Inbetriebnahme, des Betriebs, der Instandhaltung von Baggerlader eintreten können, zu beseitigen oder zu mindern. Diese Europäische Norm ist nicht auf Baggerlader anzuwenden, die vor der Veröffentlichung dieser Europäischen Norm durch CEN hergestellt wurden.

Engins de terrassement - Sécurité - Partie 4: Prescriptions applicables aux chargeuses-pelleteuses

La présente partie de l’EN 474 traite de tous les phénomènes, situations et événements dangereux significatifs
relatifs aux chargeuses-pelleteuses sur roues ou sur chenilles définies dans l’EN ISO 6165:2006, lorsqu’elles sont
utilisées comme prévu ou dans des conditions de mauvais usage que le fabricant peut raisonnablement prévoir
(voir Article 4).
La présente partie traite également de l’utilisation avec fourches, en manutention d’objets et en manutention
de grumes.
Les prescriptions figurant dans la présente partie viennent en complément des prescriptions communes présentées
dans l’!EN 474-1:2006+A1:2009".
La présente partie ne répète pas les prescriptions de l’!EN 474-1:2006+A1:2009" mais en ajoute ou en remplace
certaines applicables aux chargeuses-pelleteuses.
La présente partie prescrit les mesures techniques appropriées pour éliminer ou réduire les risques
dus aux phénomènes, situations et événements dangereux significatifs survenant lors de la mise en service,
du fonctionnement et de la maintenance des chargeuses-pelleteuses.
La présente Norme européenne n’est pas applicable aux engins fabriqués avant la publication de la présente Norme
européenne par le CEN.

Stroji za zemeljska dela - Varnost - 4. del: Zahteve za bagre

Ta del standarda EN 474 obravnava vsa večja tveganja, nevarne situacije in dogodke v zvezi z bagri s kolesi in gosenicami iz standarda EN ISO 6165:2006, kadar se uporabljajo v skladu z njihovim namenom in pod pogoji pričakovane nepravilne uporabe, ki jih določa proizvajalec (glejte točko 4). Ta del prav tako obravnava uporabo vilic, ravnanje s predmeti hlodi. Zahteve iz tega dela dopolnjujejo splošne zahteve iz standarda EN 474-1:2006+A1:2009. Ta standard ne ponavlja zahtev iz standarda EN 474-1:2006+A1:2009, temveč dodaja ali nadomešča zahteve za uporabo bagrov. Ta del določa ustrezne tehnične ukrepe za odpravo ali zmanjšanje večjih tveganj, nevarnih situacij in nevarnih dogodkov med začetkom obratovanja, obratovanjem in vzdrževanjem bagrov. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za stroje, izdelane pred datumom izdaje tega evropskega standarda s strani CEN.

Introduction
This part of EN 474 is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1:2003.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this European Standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines
that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
1 Scope
This part of EN 474 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to wheel and
crawler backhoe loaders as defined in EN ISO 6165:2006, when they are used as intended and under

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in
!EN 474-1:2006+A1:2009", EN ISO 12100-1:2003 and the following apply.
NOTE 1 Terminology for backhoe loaders is specified in ISO 8812:1999 and most common backhoe loaders are
illustrated in Annex C of this European Standard.
NOTE 2 Definitions used in EN and ISO standards referred to in this European Standard are also valid for this
document.
3.1
backhoe loader
self-propelled crawler or wheeled machine having a main frame designed to carry both front-mounted
equipment and rear-mounted backhoe equipment, normally with stabilisers or outriggers (see
EN ISO 6165:2006)
NOTE 1 When used in backhoe mode, the machine is stationary and normally digs below ground level, but when used
in loader mode (bucket use), the machine loads through forward motion.
NOTE 2 A backhoe work cycle normally comprises excavating, elevating, swinging and discharging material. A loader
work cycle normally comprises filling, elevating, transporting and discharging material.
3.2
compact backhoe loader
backhoe loader with an operating mass (see !ISO 6016:2008") of 4 500 kg or less, designed to work in
confined spaces with the associated needs for greater manoeuvrability
