Overview
EN 474-9:2006/prA1 is a CEN draft amendment to the European safety standard EN 474-9:2006 - Earth-moving machinery, Part 9: Requirements for pipelayers. Prepared by CEN/TC 151, this amendment updates normative references, replaces a figure illustrating a crawler pipelayer configuration, modifies the foreword and content listing, and adds an informative Annex ZB that describes the relationship with the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. The document addresses safety aspects of pipelayers within the broader EN 474 series for earth-moving machinery.
Key Topics
- Scope and Purpose
- Safety requirements specifically for pipelayers (machines used for handling and laying pipes).
- Regulatory Relationship
- Addition of Annex ZB clarifying presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC when the standard is cited in the Official Journal and adopted nationally.
- Cross-reference to informative Annex ZA (relationship to EU directives).
- Acoustics / Noise
- Updates to normative references for noise measurement standards: ISO 6393:2008 (sound power level - stationary test conditions) and ISO 6394:2008 (emission sound pressure level at operator’s station).
- Clauses on sound power level and emission sound pressure reflect those ISO updates.
- Machine Configuration & Illustrations
- Replacement of Figure B.4 to show a crawler pipelayer with a rotating upper structure, clarifying applicable illustrations for safety guidance.
- Normative References and Editorial Changes
- Revisions to Clause 2 and to the Foreword wording to reflect the amendment and conformity procedures.
Applications
Who uses this standard and why:
- Manufacturers / OEMs - design and certify pipelayers to meet European safety expectations and support CE marking.
- Safety engineers & compliance teams - implement machine safeguards, operator protection, and noise controls aligned with EN 474-9 requirements.
- Test laboratories & acoustic specialists - apply ISO 6393 and ISO 6394 methods for noise assessment of pipelayers.
- Fleet managers / contractors - verify machinery compliance for procurement and on-site safety management.
- Regulators & notified bodies - assess conformity with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC using the normative clauses and Annex ZB guidance.
Related Standards
- EN 474 series (earth-moving machinery - safety)
- ISO 6393:2008 - Determination of sound power level (stationary conditions)
- ISO 6394:2008 - Emission sound pressure level at operator’s station
For implementation or certification activities, consult the full EN 474-9:2006/prA1 text and its referenced ISO standards to ensure all normative clauses and annexes are applied correctly.
