Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous 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
This European Standard applies to “Side by Side machines” or “SbSs” as defined in Clause 3, propelled
by internal combustion engines using liquid fuels (petrol, diesel, bio-fuels, lpg) and/or electric drive,
1)
intended to be used primarily on unpaved surfaces and not intended to be used on public roads .
This European Standard defines safety requirements relating to the elements of design, operation, and
maintenance of Side by Side machines and deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and
events relevant to Side by Side machines, when they are used as intended and under conditions of
misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). It deals with the
significant hazards during the whole lifecycle of the product as defined in of EN ISO 12100:2010, 5.3
This European Standard is not dealing with:
