This European Standard specifies additional requirements to and/or exceptions from EN 474-1:1994 "Earth-moving machinery - Safety - Part 1: General requirements". This European Standard applies to earth and landfill compactors defined in ISO 6165:1997, and gives additional requirements for attachments and for derived machinery. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards pertinent to earth and landfill compactors when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see annex A of this European Standard and annex C of EN 474-1:1994). This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards. Other compactors such as roller compactors, rammer compactors and vibratory plates which are dealt with in EN 500-1:1995 and EN 500-4:1995 are not covered in EN 474.
