This document gives safety requirements for all types of drilling and foundation equipment and shall be used in conjunction with one of parts 2 to 7. These machine specific parts do not repeat the requirements from part 1 but add to or replace the requirements for the type of drilling and foundation equipment in question. Machine specific requirements in parts 2 to 7 take precedence over the respective requirements of this standard. The following machines are excluded from the scope of this standard: - tunnelling machines according to EN 12336; - drill rigs used in oil and gas industry. This document specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events during commissioning, operation and maintenance of drilling and foundation equipment. This document specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards. If the carrier machine consists of an excavator as defined in EN 474, crane as defined in EN 13000 etc. the carrier shall be covered by its own standards to the extent the requirements as defined in Clause 5 of this standard prEN 16228-1 are not applicable.
