European foreword
This document (FprCEN/TS 18195:2025) 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 document is currently submitted to the Vote on TS.
Introduction
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
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.
1 Scope
This document specifies the minimum technical information that the manufacturers of earth moving
machinery and the manufacturers of interchangeable equipment are required to make available in their
operator’s manual.
It is applicable to the combination of earth moving machinery and interchangeable equipment covered
by the intended use of each of the products, where the respective manufacturers do not identify in the
operator’s manual specific models of interchangeable equipment or compatible host machines for
coupling.
It gives guidelines in order to define the essential characteristics of interchangeable equipment and host
machine for their coupling considering the following significant hazards or hazardous situations due to:
— a loss of longitudinal or lateral stability;
— exceeding maximum dimensions with respect to operator's field of view;
— errors of fitting for hydraulic and electric connections;
— access (egress) to (from) operating position(s).
There are cases where specific technical or operational needs may require different approaches, so the
information given by the manufacturer of the host machine and/or the manufacturer of the
interchangeable equipment may differ from that set out in this document. In these cases, this document
does not apply and the analysis of the risks created by the coupling of the host machine and
interchangeable equipment shall be carried out by the manufacturer of the interchangeable equipment
or by who makes the combined machinery.
The road circulation of the coupled host machine and interchangeable equipment on public roads is not
covered.
It does not cover the design and/or performance requirements for the engagement and locking of
interchangeable equipment to the host machine, which is the subject of other European and International
standards.
This document does neither deal with lifting persons with earth moving machinery nor with any
interchangeable equipment mounted to it.
NOTE Earth moving machinery which are equipped with work platforms as interchangeable equipment are
regarded as Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) as defined in 3.1 of EN 280-1:2022, and listed under
Annex IV, item 17 of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
This document is not applicable to earth moving machinery and interchangeable equipment
manufactured before the date of its publication.

3.1
interchangeable equipment
device which, after the placing in service of a machine, is assembled with the host machine by the operator
in order to change its function or to carry out a new function, in so far as the interchangeable equipment
is not a tool
Note 1 to entry: Interchangeable equipment can correspond to attachment defined in ISO 6016:2008, 3.1.4.
Note 2 to entry: Combination of devices such as quick coupler coupled with an attachment is considered as
interchangeable equipment.
Note 3 to entry: Tool is an attachment which does not change the function or introduce a new function to the host
machine, in this case it is not considered as interchangeable equipment.
Note 4 to entry: For excavator an example of standard equipment not introducing a
