Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.

This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market

players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);

— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance etc.).

Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the

above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);

— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);

— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).

The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting

process of this document.

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are

covered are indicated in the scope of this document.

When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B

standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other

standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C

standard.

4 Safety requirements and/or protective/risk reduction measures
4.1 General

Winter service machines – snow clearing machines with rotating tools shall comply with the safety

requirements and/or protective/risk reduction measures of this clause. In addition, the machines shall

be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100:2010 for relevant but not significant hazards

which are not dealt with by this document.

Winter service machines – snow clearing machines with rotating tools shall comply with the

requirements of EN 17106-1:2021, as far as not modified or replaced by the requirements of this part.

4.2 Noise measurement

travel and work areas of the machine that are necessary for the intended use of the machine.

The travel mode as specified in ISO 5006:2017 is considered to be representative for testing visibility in

both travel and operating modes.

It is sufficient to measure the machine with the most challenging standard attachment within the limits

of the intended use.

Snow clearing machines with rotating tools shall be equipped with rear view mirrors according to

ISO 14401-1:2009 and ISO 14401-2:2009.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the

European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).

For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this

document.

prEN 17106 consists of the following parts, under the general title road operation machinery:

— Part 1: General requirements
— Part 2: Requirements for road surface cleaning machines

— Part 3-1: Winter service machines - Requirements for snow clearing machines with rotating tools

Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situation and events are covered

are indicated in the scope of this document.

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 European Standard, together with part 1, deals with all significant hazards for winter service

machines – snow cleaning machines with rotating tools 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

prEN 17106-1:2017.

This document does not repeat the requirements from prEN 17106-1:2017, but adds or replaces the

requirements for application for winter service machines – snow cleaning machines with rotating tools.
