Introduction
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in
the scope of this document.
The standard takes into account the current state of the art and technical facilities to use in order to exclude or prevent, as
far as possible, hazards when rubber tyred vehicles are used underground.
When compiling this standard it has been assumed that:
- components are:
a) designed in accordance with the good engineering practice and calculation codes, taking account of shocks and
vibration, including all failure modes;
b) of sound mechanical and electrical construction;
c) made of materials with adequate strength and of suitable quality; and
d) free of defects.
- harmful materials, such as asbestos are not used.
- components are kept in good repair and working order, so that the required dimensions remain fulfilled despite wear.
- negotiations have taken place between the manufacturer, or authorised representative, and the purchaser and /or user
(e.g. for fire resistant fluids, safety equipment, load restraining devices, use of surface machines not intended primarily for
use in mines).

EN 1889-1:2003 (E)
1 Scope
1.1 This European Standard specifies the safety requirements and tests for self-propelled rubber tyred vehicles (defined
in clause 3) intended primarily for use in underground mining (i.e. mine vehicles) and other underground workings (e.g.
tunnelling vehicles). The electrical supply voltage is limited to 1100 A.C. and 1500 D.C.
1.2 This European Standard deals with the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in clause 4 which can
arise during the commissioning, the travelling operation and the maintenance of rubber tyred vehicles when carried out in
accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorized representative.
1.3 This European Standard does not include rubber tyred drilling rigs, which are covered by EN 791, or earth moving
machinery not intended primarily for use in underground mines, which are covered by EN 474 series. This European
Standard does not take account of specific hazards associated with special-purpose vehicles, e.g. tankers, explosives
vehicles.
This European Standard does not address operation in potentially explosive atmospheres, which is covered by another
European Standard. Hazards due to noise are excluded from this standard, but a separate standard is in preparation
where hazards due to noise will be addressed. This European Standard does not address remote control or deal with
radiation and vibration. It does not deal with any equipment installed on the vehicle for purposes other than travelling.
1.4 This European Standard applies to vehicles which are manufactured after the date of issue of this standard.

5 Safety requirements and/or safety measures
5.1 General requirements
5.1.1 For the application of EN 953, EN 982, EN 983, EN 457, EN 563, EN 547, EN 1837 and EN 60204-1 the
manufacturer shall carry out an adequate risk assessment for the requirements thereof where choice is necessary.
NOTE This specific risk assessment is part of the general risk assessment relating to the hazards not covered by this C
standard.
For hazards which are not covered by this standard, machinery shall conform as appropriate to EN 292.
5.1.2 All moving parts shall be provided with guards according to EN 953 with the exception of wheels, drive lines
and articulation area.
NOTE Wherever possible movable guards should remain connected to the vehicle when open.
Gaps between guards and moving parts shall conform to EN 349 and EN 294.
Safety distances to prevent danger zones being reached shall conform to EN 294 and EN 811.
5.1.3 Vehicles shall have facilities for stowing any safety equipment (see also introduction, negotiation) as agreed
between the manufacturer and user, to ensure that additional safety equipment cannot cause a hazard due to
inadvertent movement.
5.1.4 Outriggers or similar devices shall be lockable in their retracted positions for travelling.
5.1.5 On vehicles where loose equipment or materials are intended to be carried, facilities shall be provided for the
attachment of any necessary load restraining devices (see introduction, on negotiations).
5.1.6 For unintentional contact, the temperatures of hot surfaces inside of the vehicle are based on annex B of
EN 13202:2000 for 0,5 s contact time. For the parts that require handling during maintenance the temperature
of the touchable surface shall be in accordance with EN 563 for 5 s contact time. Where this limit cannot be
achieved, see 7.1.4.
Exhaust pipes within reach during operation, which exceed the touchable surface temperatures given in EN
13202 for 0,5 s, shall be guarded against unintentional contact in accordance with EN 953.
5.1.7 Any liquid reservoirs shall be designed to accommodate the consequences of the intended vehicle
gradients.
5.2 Design to facilitate handling
Where purpose-designed attachment points are provided they shall be designed to have a calculated minimum factor of
safety of 4 on ultimate breaking load in relation to their intended load carrying capacity. Where any such attachment
points could be used to lift or move the whole vehicle this factor of safety shall relate to the service weight of the vehicle.
They shall be shaped to suit the lifting means intended by the manufacturer, see 7.1.2. They shall be clearly and
permanently marked with their load carrying capacity, e.g. by welding.
Vehicles shall be fitted with any locking devices or any attachment points for latching necessary to prevent the movement
of the vehicle during transportation or maintenance. Articulated steered vehicles shall be fitted with a steering frame lock
conforming to ISO 10570.

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------

EN 1889-1:2003 (E)
5.3 Towing devices
Where applicable, manufacturers shall provide information regarding the maximum permitted gross trailer weight which
can be towed for braked and unbraked trailers and the corresponding roadway conditions.
The gross trailer weight shall be based on the adhesion available for the intended roadway conditions with the vehicle
unladen. The manufacturer shall specify any ballast requirements where necessary.
The attachment point(s) on the vehicle shall have a breaking strength not less than 3 times the gross trailer weight.
5.4 Fluid power systems
5.4.1 Hydraulic systems
5.4.1.1 Hydraulic systems shall be designed and installed to conform with EN 982.
5.4.1.2 Hydraulic systems (hydrostatic and hydrokinetic) shall be designed to enable non-toxic fluids as defined
in the 7th SHCMOEI Report [1] to be used to minimize risks to health.
5.4.1.3 Hydraulic systems (hydrostatic and hydrokinetic) on vehicles shall be designed such that fire-resistant
th
fluids can be used to minimise fire hazards (ISO 7745 and SHCMOEI 7 report) or the following precautions shall be
taken for all systems exceeding 10 l total capacity:
a) Hydraulic lines (rigid metal and flexible pipelines) shall be segregated from any unprotected
electrical cable or equipment (see 5.5.2.3), or any part of the vehicle, the surface of which, can
become sufficiently hot to reach 80% of the flashpoint of the hydraulic fluid for which the system
has been designed.
b) Hydraulic lines shall be shrouded to prevent flammable fluid under pressure being ejected from
a leak or a burst onto a hot surface as defined in paragraph a) above, or outside the profile of
the vehicle.
NOTE National legislation implementing EU Directive 92/104/EEC can require the use of fire resistant fluids in hydraulic
systems, see introduction on negotiation.
5.4.1.4 Hydropneumatic accumulators shall conform to EN 982.
5.4.1.5 Reservoirs for hydraulic fluids shall be protected against corrosion and be secured to the vehicle and
incorporated in such a way (e.g. inside the rigid structure of the vehicle) that they are protected against mechanical
damage.
5.4.1.6 The filling apertures of reservoirs for hydraulic fluids shall be easily ac
