EN 12111:2002+A1:2009 (E) 5 Introduction This document is a type C-standard as stated in EN 1070. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indi-cated in the scope of this document.
Due to the wide range of geological and environmental conditions in which these types of machines are likely to be employed, it is not possible always to give precise technical requirements in this standard.
The particular conditions of use and places of use of the machinery (e.g. ground and local safety conditions, haz-ardous gas concentration (see 5.5.3)) are the subjects of negotiation between the manufacturers and the user/purchaser. NOTE “Manufacturer” should be understood within the European Union as intended in the Machinery Directive. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the pro-visions 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.
