Introduction
This European Standard 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 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.
In this European Standard it is assumed that:
 only competent persons operate the machine;
 components without specific requirements are:
a) designed in accordance with the usual engineering practice and calculation codes, including all failure
modes;
b) of sound mechanical and electrical construction according to the state of the art;
c) made of materials with adequate strength and of suitable quality;
d) made of no harmful materials, such as asbestos;
 components are kept in good repair and working order, so that the required characteristics remain despite
wear;
 the installation allows a safe use of the machine;
 negotiation occurs between the manufacturer and the user/purchaser concerning particular conditions of use
and the places (e. g. ground and local safety conditions) of use of the machinery.
NOTE “Manufacturer” is understood within the European Union as intended in the Machinery Directive.

grout cars, segment cars, muck cars.
NOTE Within the European Union Directive 94/9/EC concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in
potentially explosive atmospheres can be applicable to the type of machine or equipment covered by this European Standard.
The present document is not intended to provide means of complying with the essential health and safety requirements of
Directive 94/9/EC.
1.2 Hazards
This European Standard deals with significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to shield
machines and associated back up equipment, thrust boring machines and auger boring machines when they are
used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
