DIN EN 12111:2010-11

This European Standard specifies all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to road headers and continuous miners as defined in Clause 3, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see clause 4). Where mentioned, this standard applies also to cutterhead attachments and impact hammers mounted on excavators and in tunnel shields. This standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards. Within the conditions stated by the manufacturer, overturning of the roadheader or continuous miner is not a significant hazard. Noise is not a significant hazard for cutterhead attachments.
