This part of EN 474 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to loaders as
defined in EN ISO 6165:2006, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are
reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This part also deals with fork application, single heavy object handling application, object handling application
and log handling.
The requirements of this part are complementary to the common requirements formulated in !EN 474-
1:2006+A1:2009".
This part does not repeat the requirements from !EN 474-1:2006+A1:2009", but adds or replaces the
requirements for application for loaders.
This part specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant
hazards, hazardous situations and events during commissioning, operation and maintenance of loaders.
This European Standard is not applicable to loaders manufactured before the date of publication of this
European Standard by CEN.
