application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and
notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

Foreword
This European Standard was prepared by CENELEC BTWG 72-2, Metallic pipe and cable
locators.
The text of the draft was submitted to the formal vote and was approved by CENELEC as
EN 50249 on 2002-07-01.
The following dates were fixed:
- latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
 at national level by publication of an identical
 national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2003-07-01
- latest date by which the national standards conflicting
 with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2005-07-01
Annexes designated "normative" are part of the body of the standard.
Annexes designated "informative" are given for information only.
In this standard, Annexes A, C and D are normative and Annex B is informative.
Of all pipe and cable locators, those employing electromagnetic principles are the most
commonly used for locating buried metallic plant.
Pipe and cable locators are used for the following purposes:
– to determine the position of a buried target line at a particular location;
– to trace the route of a buried target line;
– to determine the position of lines buried adjacent to target lines.
Such locators make a major contribution towards minimizing the risk of damaging buried plant,
and injury to operatives, during subsequent excavation.
This European Standard specifies the minimum performance requirements to which all pipe and
cable locators should conform, in order to ensure that locators have an acceptable performance
consistent with the user's needs.
