This European Standard applies to road surface cleaning machines, which are defined in clause 3. The
equipment would normally be mounted on a carrier vehicle (e.g. truck, tractor, construction machinery and
mobile industrial handling equipment). It is also possible to mount a road surface cleaning machine on its own
chassis construction and propulsion system. In all cases the machine and chassis form an integral unit.
Directives and standards for the vehicular truck chassis aspect, termed 'carrier vehicle' in this standard, would
be those relative to that equipment, even where specific modifications have been made to realize the road
surface cleaning 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
road surface cleaning machines when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the
manufacturer. This European Standard does not deal with significant hazards associated with deleted
text EMC. This European Standard only 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. truck) 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.
This European Standard does not apply to road surface cleaning machines such as front mounted tractor
brooms according to EN 13524:2003.
This European Standard does not apply to machines or components that are specifically designed for cleaning
tram-lines and rail tracks.
This European Standard does not deal with the risks associated with the operation of machines in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
This European Standard applies to machines which are manufactured after the date of approval of the
standard by CEN.
