Underground mining machines - Mobile extracting machines at the face - Safety requirements for shearer loaders and plough systems

This Standard specifies the requirements for mobile extracting machines working underground at the face. It specifies requirements for the construction, equipment marking and testing of shearer loaders, trepanners, jib-type cutters, face opening machines and plough systems. This includes their control systems and face and goaf-side guiding and haulage elements. Conveyors, spill plates and auxiliary devices such as lasers, etc., are excluded.

Bergaumaschinen unter Tage - Mobile Abbaumaschinen im Streb - Sicherheitsanforderungen für Walzenlader und Hobelanlagen

1.1   Diese Norm legt Sicherheitsanforderungen fest, die zu erfüllen sind, um die in Abschnitt 4 aufgeführten Gefährdungen zu minimieren, die bei Aufbau, Einsatz, Wartung, Reparatur, Außerbetriebnahme, Demontage und Entsorgung von Walzenladern und Hobelanlagen im untertägigen Bergbau beim vom Hersteller vorgesehenen bestimmungsgemäßen Betrieb auftreten können.
Die Maschinen arbeiten mit Werkzeugen zum Lösen von Mineralien, wie z. B. Kohle, Erz, Salz und Nebengestein, in fest eingestellter oder variabler Schneidhöhe und sind am Kettenkratzerförderer oder seinen Anbauten zwangsgeführt. Walzenlader haben eingebaute Vorschubsysteme und können von einem oder mehreren Fahrern direkt bedient werden, fernbedient oder programmgesteuert sein. Hobelanlagen werden fernbedient. Drahtlose Fernbedienungen von Walzenladern werden in unmittelbarer Umgebung der Maschinen benutzt.
1.2   Diese Europäische Norm behandelt keine Gefährdungen, die aus elektrischen Anlagen an der Maschine entstehen. Sie enthält keine Anforderungen für Staubreduzierung und Schlagwetterschutz. Gefährdungen durch Lärm sind ebenfalls aus dieser Norm ausgeschlossen. Eine gesonderte Norm ist in Vorbereitung, in der Gefährdungen durch Lärm behandelt werden.
ANMERKUNG   Die Lärmemission am Einsatzort der Walzenlader und Hobel entsteht nur im geringen Umfang durch die Maschinen selbst. Der Lärmpegel wird vielmehr durch brechendes Mineral und durch die Fördermittel bestimmt. Die Staubentwicklung wird nicht nur durch das Arbeitsverfahren der Maschinen, sondern auch durch das zu gewinnende Material und die Umgebungsbedingungen sowie durch den Strebausbau und den Strebförderer bestimmt. Die Ausrüstung der Maschine, z. B. mit einer Wasserbedüsung, kann deshalb möglicherweise allein nicht die Gefährdung beseitigen.
Sie betrachtet nicht Strebförderer, Seitenbracken und Hilfseinrichtungen wie Laser usw.
Sie wendet sich an den Hersteller, der komplette Maschinen fertigt und in Verkehr bringt, und an denjenigen, der Maschinen

Machines d'exploitation de mines et carrieres souterraines - Machines mobiles d'abattage de front de taille - Exigences de sécurité imposées aux haveuses a tambour(s) et aux robots

1.1   La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences de sécurité qui doivent etre respectées pour atténuer les phénomenes dangereux mentionnés dans l'article 4 et qui peuvent survenir lors du montage, de l'utilisation, de la maintenance, de la réparation, de la mise hors service, du démontage et de l'évacuation des haveuses a tambour(s) et des rabots en service dans les mines souterraines, utilisés conformément aux exigences du constructeur.
Les machines fonctionnent avec des outils permettant l'abattage de minéraux tels que charbon, minerais, sel et roches environnantes, a une hauteur de taille fixe ou variable, et sont guidées par des convoyeurs a chaînes a raclettes ou leurs accessoires. Les haveuses a tambour(s) sont munies de systemes de halage intégrés. Elles peuvent etre man?uvrées directement par un ou plusieurs conducteur(s), ou télécommandées ou pilotées par un automate programmable. Les rabots sont commandés a distance. Des télécommandes sans fil sont utilisées a proximité immédiate des machines.
1.2   La présente Norme européenne ne couvre pas les phénomenes dangereux causés par les équipements électriques associés a la machine. Elle ne comporte aucune exigence portant sur la réduction du bruit ou l'élimination des poussieres. Les phénomenes dangereux liés au grisou ne sont pas couverts dans la présente Norme européenne.
NOTE   L'émission de bruit sur le lieu d'utilisation des haveuses a tambour(s) et des rabots ne résulte que dans une faible mesure des machines elles-memes. Le niveau de bruit est affecté bien plus par les bruits liés aux minéraux concassés et aux convoyeurs. Le dégagement de poussiere n'est pas uniquement causé par le processus de travail des machines, mais également par le matériau a extraire et par les conditions d'environnement, ainsi que par le soutenement et les convoyeurs. L'équipement de la machine, par exemple avec un systeme de pulvérisation d'eau, ne peut donc sans doute pas supprimer completement et a lui tout seul ce phéno

EN 1552:2003 (E)
Introduction
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070.
The machinery and the extend 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.
1 Scope
1.1 This European Standard specifies safety requirements which shall be met to minimize the hazards listed in
clause 4 that may occur during the assembly, use, maintenance, repair, decommissioning, disassembly and
disposal of shearer loaders and plough systems when operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s
requirements in underground mining.
The machines work with tools for cutting minerals such as coal, ore, salt and surrounding rock, at a fixed or variable
height and are guided on armoured face conveyors or their attachments. Shearer loaders have built-in haulage
systems. They may be directly operated by one or more drivers or be remotely or program controlled. Plough
systems are remotely controlled. Wireless remote control systems of shearer loaders are used in the immediate
environment of the machines.
1.2 This European Standard does not cover any hazards resulting from the electrical equipment associated with
the machine. It does not contain any requirements relating to dust suppression or firedamp hazards. . Hazards due
to noise are also excluded from this standard, but a separate standard is in preparation where hazards due to noise
will be addressed.
NOTE Only a small amount of the noise emitted at the point of use of shearer loaders and plough systems is generated by
the machines themselves. The noise level is affected more by the breaking mineral and the conveyors. Dust is generated not
only by the mode of operation of the machines, but also by the material to be extracted, the environment, the roof support and
the conveyor. For example, equipping the machine with a water spray may not completely eliminate the hazard on its own.
It does not cover face conveyors, spill plates and auxiliary devices such as lasers etc.
It is intended for manufacturers producing and marketing complete machines, and for manufacturers assembling
machines or parts of machines from different origins or assembling machines for their own use. These are called
”manufacturers” in this European Standard.
1.3 This document is not applicable to machines that are manufactured before the date of publication of this
European Standard by CEN.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies (including amendments).

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
remote control console
plough systems are generally controlled from a fixed remote control console. It is situated either on the surface or
underground and is usually out of the line of sight of the plough system.
3.2
load attachment point
means of attachment for devices to enable them to carry a load, e.g. a threaded hole for a transport ring.
3.3
transport units
parts or subassemblies which, for transportation reasons, are not fitted to the complete machine until the point of
use.
3.4
starting
energizing the machine drive or first of the drives without necessarily causing the machine to move. For example, a
shearer loader is started up when the hydraulic pump drive is switched on but externally the machine has clearly
not yet moved.

5.1 General
Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause.
In addition, the machines shall be designed according to the principles of EN 292 for hazards relevant but not
significant which are not dealt with by this document (e.g. sharp edges)
NOTE As a result of the mode of operation and depending on the ambient conditions, there is a risk, when using the
machines, of parts of the mineral to be won or of the surrounding rock being thrown into the travel way, of parts becoming
detached from the roof or the side wall. The operator should be protected against these hazards. This is generally provided by
the roof support or by the side spill plate of the conveyor and/or personal protective equipment. The operator of a shearer loader
can also be additionally protected for example by a roof on the machine or by using remote control.
For the application of the European standards referred to in this standard (e. g. EN 457, EN 982), the manufacturer
shall carry out an adequate risk assessment for the requirements thereof where choice is necessary
NOTE This specific risk assessment is part of the general risk assessment relating to the hazards not covered by this C
standard.
5.2 Stability
The manufacturer shall specify limit values for the permissible tilting of the machines in all directions taking into
account the maximum forces occurring in all operating conditions.
