Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that

ISO/DIS 18758:2025(en)
Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in ISO 12100:2010.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers;
— mining companies;
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organisations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others that can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups are:
— machine operators;
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance;
— third party system and technology providers.
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
The vocabulary of ISO 22932-5 is essential for the understanding of the safety requirements of this document.
When requirements of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B
standards, the requirements of this type C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other
standards, for rock drill rigs and rock reinforcement drills that have been designed and built according to
the requirements of this type C standard.
The following assumptions were made in writing this document:
a) the operators of the machines are well trained professionals and aware of potential risks of using the
machine in the working environment, including the hazards of reasonably foreseeable misuse (See ISO/
IEC GUIDE 51:2014, 6.1 a), b));
b) the machines are operated and maintained according to the instructions given by the manufacturer,
such as operator's instructions (See ISO/IEC GUIDE 51:2014, 7.4.2.2);
c) that administrative controls are in place for preventing unauthorized entry of persons to the area where
machines are working (See ISO/IEC GUIDE 51:2014, 6.2.2 and note).
For increased readability of this document, rock drill rigs and rock reinforcement rigs are called machines
from clause 4 onwards unless the specific term is needed for emphasis or clarity.

Mining and earth-moving machinery — Rock drill rigs and
rock reinforcement rigs — Safety requirements
1 Scope
This document specifies the safety requirements for rock drill rigs and rock reinforcement rigs designed for
the following underground or surface operations:
a) blast hole drilling;
b) rock reinforcement and consolidation (injection holes, pipe roofing, netting, bolting);
c) drilling for secondary breaking;
d) dimensional stone drilling;
e) mineral prospecting, e.g. utilizing core drilling or reverse circulation drilling;
f) water and methane drainage drilling;
g) raise boring;
when used by a well-trained operator in accordance with the information for use and where sufficient
measures have been taken to prevent unauthorized entry of persons to the area where machines are
working.
NOTE Machines can be designed for more than one of the operations above. See ISO 22932-4 and ISO 22932-5 for
vocabulary.
This document is also applicable to rock drill rigs and rock reinforcement rigs based on earth-moving
machinery (EMM) as defined in ISO 6165.
NOTE When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in EMM standards,
the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the EMM standards for machines
that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C standard.
This document is not applicable to the following machines: drill rigs for soil and rock mixture, Kelly drill
rigs and casing drivers, cable tool drill rigs, pre-armouring machines, sonic drill rigs; shaft sinking drill rigs,
crane attached drill rigs, drill rigs on derricks, scaling machines.
This document does not cover machines on railway tracks, artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, self-
evolving systems, cyber security, lightning, protection against corruption, malicious attempts from third
parties, or potentially explosive atmospheres.
This document deals with the relevant and significant hazards, hazardous situations, or hazardous events,
as listed in Annex C, when the machine is used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are
reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
This document is not applicable to machines manufactured before the date of its publication.
