This document specifies the specific safety requirements for foundation equipment when it is used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. This part specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards. In this document the general term "foundation equipment" covers several different types of machines used for installation and/or extracting by drilling, driving, vibrating, pushing, pulling or a combination of techniques, or any other way, of: - longitudinal foundation elements; - soil improvement by dynamic compacting, vibrating and soil mixing techniques; - vertical drainage. Typically the process of foundation techniques involves the addition longitudinal elements as concrete piles, steel beams, tubes and sheet piles, injection elements as tubes and hoses, casings for cast in situ. The requirements of this document are in addition to, or detail an exemption to the common requirements formulated in part 1. This document does not repeat the requirements from part 1, but adds the requirements for application to foundation equipment This document specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events detailed in Clause 4.
