This document specifies safety requirements for earth-moving machinery when used for demolition applications.
This document is only applicable to the following earth-moving machinery types as described in EN ISO 6165:2022:
- hydraulic excavators;
- cable excavators.
This document does not provide safety requirements for machinery used in conjunction with explosives for the demolition application.
This document does not provide requirements for main electrical circuits and drives of machinery
when the primary source of energy is an external electrical supply.
This document does not provide performance requirements for safety related functions of control
system(s).
This document deals with significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to earth-moving
machinery, when used for demolition application and under conditions foreseen but also taking into account any reasonably foreseeable misuse thereof (see Annex A).
The following significant and relevant hazards are not covered in this document:
- laser;
- lightning.
This document is not applicable to earth-moving machinery which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
NOTE For travelling on public roads, national traffic regulations apply (e.g. braking, steering, lighting, towing, etc.) until harmonized requirements are available.

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 and events are covered
is 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.
