SIST EN 16228-2:2014/oprA1:2019

Drilling and foundation equipment - Safety - Part 2: Mobile drill rigs for civil and geotechnical engineering, quarrying and mining

This European Standard, together with part 1, deals with all significant hazards for mobile drill rigs for civil and geotechnical engineering, quarrying and mining 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 EN 16228 1:2014.
This document does not repeat the requirements from EN 16228 1, but adds or replaces the requirements for application for mobile drill rigs.
In this document the general term "mobile drill rig" covers several different types of machines for use in:
-   civil engineering;
-   geotechnical engineering (including ground investigation, anchoring, soil nailing, mini-piling, ground stabilization, grouting);
-   water well drilling;
-   geothermal installations;
-   landfill drilling;
-   underpinning, tunnelling, mining and quarrying;
-   for use above ground as well as underground.
Typically, the process of drilling involves the addition of drill rods, tubes, casings or augers etc., normally threaded, as the borehole extends to depth.
NOTE 1   For machines with torque greater than 35 kNm see EN 16228-4 initially.
NOTE 2   The term "drill rigs" includes rigs with a separate power pack supplied by the rig manufacturer.
Modification to the Scope:
First paragraph, delete ", quarrying and mining" and add "in soil or soil and rock mixture in" to read as follows:
"This European Standard, together with part 1, deals with all significant hazards for mobile drill rigs for in soil or soil and rock mixture in civil and geotechnical engineering 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).".

Overview

EN 16228-2:2014/prA1 (Drilling and foundation equipment - Safety - Part 2) specifies safety requirements for mobile drill rigs used in civil and geotechnical engineering in soil or soil-and-rock mixtures. Intended to be used together with EN 16228-1, this part complements common requirements by adding or replacing provisions specific to mobile rigs (including rigs used for ground investigation, anchoring, mini‑piling, geothermal installation, water wells, landfill drilling, tunnelling and underpinning). The amendment (prA1) updates normative references and adds machine‑type specific requirements (e.g., suspended drill rigs, guards, supplementary trip devices).

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and hazard coverage: Addresses significant hazards over the whole life of the machine - mechanical, thermal (fire), noise and communication interference.
• Guards and protective zones: Defines guard placement and protective zone dimensions, for example:
  • Bottom edge of guard: up to 500 mm from mast base or no more than 200 mm above upper clamps/jaws.
  • Upper level: prevents access up to 1 600 mm from mast base; if mast tilt >15°, guard extends 1 200 mm above clamps.
• Supplementary trip device: Requires at least one supplementary trip device per side of the drilling axis (or one if structure prevents dual‑sided coverage). For rigs designed to work with mast inclinations >15°, trip devices must cover the full rotary head stroke.
• Suspended drill rigs: Special requirements (hold‑to‑run rotation controls unless a supplementary trip device is fitted; feed speed limits; emergency‑stop at operating position).
• Stability, tipping and kinetic energy: Stability calculations and kinetic energy considerations are included; Annex B covers verification tests (brake, heat fade, etc.).
• Fire protection and noise: Fire protection measures and noise-related hazards are addressed (Annex A for noise impacts).
• Normative references: Adds EN ISO 13855 (positioning of safeguards) and updates cross‑references to other EN 16228 parts.

Applications and practical use

• Ensures machine designers, manufacturers, and OEMs meet European safety expectations for mobile drill rigs.
• Used by safety engineers, CE/ regulatory compliance teams, machine inspectors, and procurement to specify safe equipment for geotechnical and civil projects.
• Useful for site managers and training providers to define safe operating procedures and required protective devices.

Who should consult it

• Equipment manufacturers and designers
• Health & safety officers and compliance auditors
• Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies
• Construction, geotechnical and drilling contractors

Related standards

• EN 16228-1:2014+prA1:2019 (common requirements)
• EN 16228-4 / EN 16228-5 (other machine categories)
