Foreword
This document (EN 13524:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 151 “Construction
equipment and building material machines – Safety“, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by September 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the
latest by September 2003.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European
Free Trade Association and supports essential requirements of EC Directive(s).
For relationship with EC Directives, see informative annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
The Annex A is informative and contains „Attachment plate of truck“. The Annex B is normative and contains
“Stipulations on the design and testing of mowing and mulching machines”.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
0 Introduction
This European Standard is a Type C-standard as stated in EN 292.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this standard.
1 Scope
This European Standard applies to machines used for highway maintenance which are attached to or mounted on
carrier vehicles and which are defined in clause 3. Directives and standards for the vehicular truck chassis aspect,
termed 'carrier vehicle' in this standard, would be those relevant to that equipment, even where specific
modifications have been made to adapt the machines for highway maintenance 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 pertinent to highway
maintenance 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 noise 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 (e.g. trucks, tractors, construction
machines, industrial trucks) as well as their demountable bodywork. These are covered in directives related to the
construction of vehicles. Demountable bodywork systems are specified in other standards.
This European Standard does not deal with:
 walker-operated an hand-held machines;
 machines for the maintenance of sports grounds;
 machines for agriculture, horticulture and forestry;
 winter-service machines;
 street-cleansing machines, except sweepers in compliance with 3.9;
 earth-moving machinery;
 pit and sewer cleaning vehicles/-machines;
 lifting platforms;
 refuse-collecting vehicles;
 bridge-inspection equipment;
 loading cranes;
 wood-choppers (bush wood choppers).
A machine which is a combination of several parts with different uses should conform to all the standards referring
to the corresponding parts of the machine.
This European Standard does not deal with the risks associated with the operation of machines in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
This standard applies to machines manufactured after the date of approval of this standard through CEN.
