Start of validity

This standard takes effect on 1 June 2009.

DIN EN ISO 2860:1999-10 may be used in parallel until 28 December 2009.

National foreword
This standard includes safety requirements.
This standard has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 127 “Earth-moving machinery” in
collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 151 “Construction equipment and building material machines
— Safety” (Secretariat: DIN, Germany).
The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschuss Maschinenbau
(Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee), Section Bau- und Baustoffmaschinen.
Representatives of manufacturers and users of earth-moving machinery, and of the employers' liability
insurance associations contributed to this standard.
Amendment of the European Machinery Directive has made it necessary to review the previously valid
standard, EN ISO 2860:1999, in terms of the essential requirements of the new European Machinery Directive,
2006/42/EC.
This standard contains specifications meeting the essential requirements set out in Annex I of the “Machinery
Directive”, Directive 98/37/EC (valid until 28 December 2009), and the “revised Machinery Directive”, Directive
2006/42/EC, which takes effect on 29 December 2009, and which apply to earth-moving machinery that is
I
either first placed on the market or commissioned within the EEA. This standard serves to facilitate proof of
R
compliance with the essential requirements of the directives.
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, it is deemed a “harmonized”
standard and thus, a manufacturer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of
N

the Machinery Directive (“presumption of conformity”).

The International Standards referred to in clause 2 of this document have been published as the corres-
ponding DIN EN ISO Standards with the same number.
This standard makes reference to documents which were valid as of the publication of the International
Standard.
Since then, the International Standards ISO 3411-1995 and ISO 6165:1997 have been withdrawn and
replaced by ISO 3411:2007, Earth-moving machinery — Physical dimensions of operators and minimum
operator space envelope and ISO 6165:2006, Earth-moving machinery — Basic types — Identification and
terms and definitions.

Amendments
This standard differs from DIN EN ISO 2860:1999-10 as follows:
a) Annex ZA (informative) “Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of
Licensee: NRI

EU Directive 98/37/EC” has been updated.

b) Annex ZB (informative) “Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of
EU Directive 2006/42/EC” has been added.
