DIN EN ISO 19225:2016-02

This standard specifies safety requirements for shearer loaders and ploughs working underground including their control systems and guiding and haulage elements. The machines work with tools for cutting minerals such as coal, ore, salt and surrounding rock, at a fixed or variable height and are guided on armoured face conveyors or their attachments. Shearer loaders have built-in haulage systems. They may be directly operated by one or more drivers or be remotely or program controlled. Plough systems are remotely controlled. Wireless remote control systems of shearer loaders are used in the immediate environment of the machines.
