discharging of material.
3.2
swing loader
loader (3.1) having a swing-type lift arm which can rotate to the left and the right of the straight position

4 Safety requirements and/or protective/risk reduction measures
4.1 General
4.1.1 Context
Loaders 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.

Loaders shall comply with the requirements of EN 474-1:2022, as far as not modified or replaced by the
requirements of this part.
There are general requirements specified in EN 474-1:2022 that are not applicable because the risk
assessment has shown that for loaders the corresponding hazard does not exist. For loaders 4.22.5 in
EN 474-1:2022, is not applicable.
4.2 Operator’s station
4.2.1 General
EN 474-1:2022, 4.3 applies as modified in 4.2.2 and 4.2.3.
4.2.2 Doors and windows
EN 474-1:2022, 4.3.2.5 applies with the following addition:
No motorized wiper(s) and washers are required for loaders with a cab width less than or equal to
750 mm measured outside of the cab in the height of SIP.
4.2.3 Falling object protective structures (FOPS)
EN 474-1:2022, 4.3.4 applies with the following modifications:
— loaders, except compact loaders, shall be fitted with FOPS, meeting the requirements of
EN ISO 3449:2008 Level II;
— compact loaders shall be fitted with FOPS, meeting the requirements of EN ISO 3449:2008 Level I.
4.3 Seat
EN 474-1:2022, 4.4 applies with the following addition:
The seat shall meet the input spectral according to EN ISO 7096:2020:
— EM3 for wheel loaders greater than 4 500 kg;
— EM6 for crawler loaders;
— EM8 for compact wheel loaders less or equal than 4 500 kg;
— EM9 for skid steer loaders.
4.4 Operator’s controls and indicators
EN 474-1:2022, 4.5.3 applies with the following exception for compact loaders with front access:

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST EN 474-3:2022
EN 474-3:2022 (E)
Controls for lifting and lowering the loader linkage, machine movement and hydraulically controlled
attachments (e.g. multi-purpose bucket) shall be either automatically mechanically secured or
automatically deactivated when the operator leaves/enters the operator's compartment.
4.5 Protectives measures and devices
4.5.1 General
EN 474-1:2022, 4.14 applies as modified in 4.5.2 and 4.5.3.
4.5.2 Fenders

4.5.3 Guarding for front access loaders
Loaders shall be fitted with side and front guarding in accorcance with EN ISO 3457:2008 that prevents
the operator from reaching the trapping parts between the side lift arms and fixed parts of the machine
when the operator is seated in the operator's position.
Opening in the side guards shall comply with EN ISO 3457:2008, Table 4.
Front guarding shall be provided for the operator’s lower limbs if the lift arm componentry passes within
1,5 m in front and horizontal line to the SIP. This front guarding shall have a minimum height of 200 mm
from the floor plate.
4.6 Stability
4.6.1 General
EN 474-1:2022, 4.11 applies with the additions given in 4.6.2 to 4.6.5 below.
All rated operating capacities as defined hereafter are based on tests, calculations, or both, of machines
on a level and firm supporting surface.
The mass of the load, its density and the location of its centre of gravity as well as the mass of the
attachment and the quick coupler, if fitted, shall be included in the determination of the rated operating
capacity and the size/capacity of the attachment.
To provide a sufficient stability the rated operating capacity in intended operations shall be determined
as specified in 4.6.2 to 4.6.5.
4.6.2 Bucket application
The rated operating capacity shall be determined according to ISO 14397-1:2007.
The volumetric rating of bucket shall be determined according to ISO 7546:1983.
The mass, volumetric rating of bucket and density of the material have to be taken into account when the
bucket capacity is selected for a specific application.
4.6.3 Fork application
4.6.3.1 General
The rated operating capacity is based on the use of forks and shall be determined according to
ISO 14397-1:2007 (except for the stability factor (k) stated in ISO 14397-1:2007, 5.1, Table 1) and with
the fork in a horizontal position. Stability factors (k) specified in Table 1 shall apply.

1 Scope
This document, together with part 1, deals with all significant hazards for earth-moving machinery –
loaders 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 474-1. This document does not repeat the requirements from prEN 474-1, but adds or replaces the
requirements for application for earth moving machinery – loaders.
This part also deals with fork application, single heavy object handling application, object handling
application and log handling.
This European Standard is not applicable to hydraulic excavators manufactured before the date of
publication of this European Standard by CEN.

horizontal position limited by the hydraulic circuit working pressure according to ISO 14397-1:2007.
5.6.5.4 Rated operating capacity
The rated operating capacity shall be determined either by:
— the rated load as specified in 5.6.5.2 or
— the hydraulic lift capacity specified in 5.6.5.3,
whichever is less.
5.6.5.5 Handling attachment
The centre of gravity distance (D) of the attachment is shown in Figure 1.
Table 5 — Load centre distance
Load F Distance D
(N) (mm)
F ≤ 100 000 600
100 000 < F ≤ 200 000 900
F > 200 000 1 200
To indicate the rated operating load for a single heavy object handling attachment a transversal, square
cross section of the load should be considered.
The specifications in Table 5 should preferably be selected.
5.6.6 Lifting operation application
5.6.6.1 General
The rated operating capacity is based on use of (a) lifting accessory(ies) and the attachment and shall be
determined by criteria given in 5.6.6.2 to 5.6.6.4.
5.6.6.2 Rated load
Tipping load shall be determined according to ISO 14397-1:2007, and with the load attached to the actual
load hooking points as specified by the manufacturer. The rated load, as a percentage of tipping load, shall
be determined according to ISO 14397-1:2007, Clause 5.
5.6.6.3 Hydraulic lift capacity
It shall be possib
