CEN/TC 151/WG 5 - Road construction machines - Safety

This European Standard applies to road surface treatment machines, which are in particular:
-   binder sprayers [or sprayers];
-   chipping spreaders [or spreaders];
-   machines for surface repairs (binder sprayer chipping spreader [or sprayer spreader]);
-   mastics asphalt mixers;
-   joint sealer;
-   micro-surfacing machines/slurry machines;
-   cold asphalt laying / micro-asphalt-paving machines
(see also Clause 3).
Road surface treatment machines can be mounted on a carrier vehicle, trailer or articulated truck, combining to form an integral unit. It is also possible to mount a road surface treatment machine on its own chassis construction and propulsion system (self-propelled or pedestrian-controlled). In all cases the machine and chassis form an integral unit.
Directives and standards for the vehicular truck chassis aspects, termed 'carrier vehicle' in this document, would be those relative to that equipment, even where specific modifications have been made to realize the road surface treatment application. The use in public road traffic is governed by the national regulations.
This European Standard deals with all significant hazards identified through a risk assessment relevant to road surface treatment machines when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This European Standard does not deal with significant hazards associated with pressurized tanks, and EMC. This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards associated with machine operation, setting and adjustments, load discharge and routine maintenance.
This European Standard does not include requirements for the carrier vehicles or special constructions. These are covered in directives related to the construction of vehicles. Demountable bodywork systems (e.g. demountable containers) are specified in other standards. Vibrations are not dealt with in the standard, because for all machines of this family vibration is not a relevant hazard due to the low working speed and special working conditions (e.g. flat surface).
This European Standard does not deal with the risks associated with the operation of the machines in potentially explosive atmospheres.
This European Standard does not include requirements of the 94/55/EC Directive related to transport of dangerous goods by road but contains additional specifications in link with these existing requirements.
This European Standard applies to machines which are manufactured after the date of approval of this standard by CEN.

This European Standard specifies the safety requirements applicable to stationary and relocatable mixing plants for the production of materials (e.g. hot-mix asphalt, cold-mix asphalt, cement gravel) used for the construction and maintenance of traffic routes (roads, highways, sidewalks, airfields, etc.) water retaining works, dam walls, culverts, etc.
This European Standard applies to the following types of mixing plant:
a)   hot Asphalt mixing plant;
b)   cold mixing plant (e.g. for production of cement gravel, cold mix asphalt);
c)   mixing plant for bituminous or non-bituminous reclaimed materials;
d)   mixing plant for mastic asphalt, also including natural asphalt.
Machines moving during the working process (e.g. mobile mastic asphalt mixers) and crushers are not covered by this European Standard.
Those types of asphalt mixing plants can also be combined or enlarged by additional installations (e.g. Plant for storage of binders (e.g. bituminous, synthetic, vegetal).
This European Standard deals with all significant hazards pertinent to mixing plants, when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards.
This European Standard does not apply to machines for the production of cement concrete and mortar as covered in EN 12151.
This European Standard does not deal with hazards caused by flammable gases. As soon as information is available it will be included.
This European Standard is not applicable to mixing plants for road construction materials, which are manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.
