1 Scope
This Part of GB 25684 specifies the general safety requirements for earth-moving machinery, each of these requirements being common to two or more earth-moving machine families.
This Part is intended to be used in conjunction with the other parts of GB 25684 which give the provisions that are specific to particular machine families. Those specific requirements take precedence over the requirements of this Part for the machines concerned. For multipurpose machinery, all of those parts of GB 25684 whose requirements cover the specific functions and applications of such machines are applicable.
EXAMPLE: For a compact loader also used as a trencher, the relevant requirements of GB 25684.1, GB 25684.3 and GB 25684.10 are applicable.
This Part is applicable to the earth-moving machinery as defined in GB/T 8498. And it is also applicable to the machine attachments, and to derivated machinery designed primarily for equipment used to loosen, pick-up, move, transport and/or distribute earth, or to grade earth and rock.
This Part deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the earth-moving machinery within its Scope when used as intended or under conditions of misuse reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. It specifies the appropriate technical measures for eliminating or reducing risks arising from significant hazards, hazardous situations or events during application, operation and maintenance. It does not deal with the electrical hazards related to the main circuits and drives of machines when the principal source of energy is electrical.
It is not applicable to machines manufactured before the date of its publication.
