(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 document 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 document does not deal with significant hazards associated with pressurized
tanks, noise and EMC. This document 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 document 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 document does not deal with the risks associated with the operation of the machines
in potentially explosive atmospheres.
This document 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 document applies to machines which are manufactured after the date of approval
of this standard by CEN.
