Introduction
This European standard is a type C standard, as specified in EN ISO 12100:2010.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered
are indicated in the scope of this document.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in the case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other
standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C
standard.
The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope of this document. When creating this
standard it was assumed that:
— only trained and qualified personnel would operate the machine;
— components for which no specific requirements have been formulated:
a) have been constructed in accordance with generally accepted engineering practice and generally
accepted calculation methods;
b) have been well manufactured mechanically;
c) are free of defects;
— the components are kept in good operational condition;
— the implementation conditions and requirements imposed on the machine have been agreed
between manufacturer and user.

1 Scope
This document stipulates the safety requirements for the use of support units intended by the
manufacturer or the manufacturer's authorized representative. Examples of support units are: frame
supports, chock supports, shield supports, paired frames and push-pull support systems including the
components of advancing and anchoring devices which provide support functions. This document
excludes fixing elements on the conveyor, coal-winning equipment, power set legs and rams, valves,
hydraulic and electro-hydraulic control units, lighting and signalling facilities and other ancillary
equipment.
COMMENT Some components are discussed in other parts of this series of standards.
This document applies for support units that are used at ambient temperatures between −10 °C and
60 °C.
This document also applies to support components and support accessories which are provided if the
support unit is fitted with stowing equipment. This document identifies and takes account of:
— the hazards that can possibly be induced through operation of the support units;
— the hazardous areas and the operating conditions that can cause any type of hazard;
— the situations that can result in hazards that cause an injury or impair health;
— dangers that can be caused through mine gas and/or flammable dusts.
This document describes methods for reducing these hazards.
Clause 4 contains a list of the hazards discussed.
This document does not specify any additional requirements for:
— a particularly corrosive environment;
— risks associated with manufacturing, transport and decommissioning;
— earthquake.
This document applies for all support units that have been placed on the market for the first time after
the issue date of this standard.
