Start of validity

This standard takes effect on 1 June 2009.

DIN EN ISO 2867:2007-02 may be used in parallel unti128 December 2009.

National foreword

This standard includes safety requirementc.

This standard has been prepared by Technical Cornmittee ISOITC 127 "Earth-rnoving machinery" tn collabo-
ration with Technical Comrnittee CENITC 151 "Construction equiprnent and building rnaterial rnachines -
Safety" (Secretariat: DIN, Germany).
The responsible Gerrnan body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschuss Maschinenbau
(Mechanical Engineering Standards Cornmittee), Section Bau- und Baustoffmaschmen.
Representatives of manufacturers and users of earth-moving machinery, and of the employers' liability
insurance associations crintributed to this standard.
Amendment of the European Machinery Directive has made it necessary to review the previously valid
standard, EN ISO 2867:2006, in terms of the essential requirements of the new European Machinery Directive,
20061421EC.
This standard contains specifications meeting the essential requirernents set out in Annex I of the "Mach~nery
Directive", Direclive 981371EC (valid until 28 Decernber 2009), and the "revised Machinery Direct~ve",Directive
2006/421EC, which lakes effect on 29 December 2009, and which apply to earth-moving rnachinery that is
either first placed on the rnarket or comrnissioned within the EEA. This standard serves to facilitate proof of
cornpliance with lhe essential requirements of the directives.
Once this slandard is ciled In the Qfficial Journal of the European Union, it is deemed a "harrnonized"
standard and thuc, a manufactcirer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of
the Machinery Directive ("presumption of conformity").
For the Inlernational Standards relerred to in clause 2 and in the bibliography of this standard there are no
national standards available unless they have been published as DIN EN ISO Standards with the same
nuniber.

Arnendments

This standard differs from DIN EN ISO 2867:2007-02 as follows:

a) In Table 4, the values of the rectangular alternative opening's minirnurn and basic dirnensions have been
corrected froni "450 x GBO" and "> 450 x 600" rnm to "450 x 650" and "> 450 x 650" mm, respectively.
b) Ariliex ZA (informative) "Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of
EU Directive 98/37/ECn has been updated.
C) Annex ZB (informative) "Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of
EU Directive 200G/421ECwhas been added.

The str~~cture
of safety standards in the field of machinery is as foltows

a) Type-A standards (basis standards) give basic concepts, principle for design and general aspects that
can be applied to machinery.

b) Type-B standards (generic safety standards) dealing with one or more safety aspect(s) or one or more
type(s) of safeguards that can be used across a wide range of machinery:

- type-Bl standards on particular safety aspects (e.g. safety distances, surface temperature, noise);

- type-B2 standards on safeguards (e.g. two-hands controls, interlocking devices, pressure sensitive
devicec, guards).

C) Type-C standards (machinery safety standards) dealing with detailed safety requirements for a particular
machino or group of machines.

This International Standard is a type-C standard, as stated in ISO 12100-1.

When provisions of tliis type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the provisions of this type-C standard take precedente over the provisrons of the other standards
for machines that have beeii designed and built according to the provisions of this type-C standard.

NOTE ISO 14122 is a series of type-B standards that provides general requirements for access to stationary and
mobile machines and that can be used as a general reference for Ihe design of access systerns for earth-moving
machines.

4.2 Moveabie primary access systems

Primary access system devices may be moveable for convenient storage on the machlne but shafl be capable
of being positively secured when in use or in the stored posltion. klachtnes equipped with a power-actuated
access system shall have a seeondary means of egress in case of power faiiiure (see 4.3).

€N ISO 2867:2008 (E)

4.3 Alternative exit pafh

An alternative exit path shall be provided on a different locatron of the machine than the priniary access path
from the operator platform. If the alternat~veexit path is not obvrous, it shall be identified. Tlie aiternat~veexit
path is intended for emergency situations (e.g. machine tip-over) and tlierefore does not need to nieet ttie
primary access requirements, according to 4.1.

5 Walking and standing surface criteria

5.1 The walking and standing surfaces of access systems shall i-iot be permaneiitly deforriied with the
following perpendicular forces applied.

a) A force of 2 000 N concentrated through a 125 mm diameter disc applied at any locatioii on tlie surface.

b) A force of 4 500 N uniformly distributed per square metre of surface area, with a proportional load
permitted to be used if the surface area is less than 1 m*.

The forces specified in a) and b) shall be applied consecutively, but not siniultaneously

Enclosure roofs such as cab and canopy roofs used for support of personnel during inspection need only meel
the requirement of a).

5.2 Openings in walkways and platform surfaces shall not permit ttie passage of a spherical object of
diameter 40 rnm or larger. The opening in walkway and platform surfaces shall no1 perrnit the passage of a
spherical object of diameter 20 mm or larger above an area where persons wilt be walking, standing or
working. Surfaces without openings shall be used when necessary to prevent tiiie passage of materia/ tliat
could result in persona1 injury to a person above or below the surface. For booin walkways and otlier similar
areas that are used only for inspection or routine maintenance, the standing or stepping surface openings niay
be increased to twice the aforementioned values.

5.3 Handrails, handholds and guardrails shall be capable of withstanding a rnininiurn forco of l 000 N
applied at any point from any direct~onwithout visible permaizent defori~iation Flexible devicos cliall 1-101
deflect under the applied test load more than 80 min from their norma1 undeflectod position.

6 Step requirernents
6.1 Steps shall conform to the dimensions given in Figure I and Table i.All stcps shocild be wido onotrgh
to accommodate both feet, reference dimension C for ladders and siiigle or multiple steps. For steps Ihat are
susceptible to damage during machine operation, steps that accommodate one foot are porrnitted.

6.2 Where lateral body movement is necessary from the top or bottom step of a ladder lo tho next stepping
surface, the distance between the step and the nearest edge of the bearing surface shall he within a spliorical
radius R < 300 mm. See Figure l.

6.3 The following genera1 considerations apply.

a) Where the possibility exists that a foot could protrude through the step and contact a rnoving part, a shield
shall be provided between the step and the moving part.

b) Step design shall minimize the risk of the foot slipping laterally off the step.

C) The step tread surface shall not be intended for use as a handhold

d) Step design shall minimize accumtilation af debris and aid in the cleaning of mud and debris frorn Ihe
shoe sole.

e) Step design shall provide the user with natura1 foot placement, or the steps shall be clearly visible to the
user.

6.4 Flexibly mounted steps (or series of steps) should be avoided unless the step is susceptible to damage
during rnachtne operation. A single fìexibly mounted step shall not niove more than 60 inlii In any plane when
a horizontal force of 250 N is applied, centered on the outer edge of the flexible step and ptishing inward. For
a series of two or more flexible steps, the combined arrangement shall iiot inove more than 30" negative
inclination when the same horizontal force is applied to any one of the flexlble steps.

6.5 Stairway step proportion shall be such that two tinies tlie riser height plus the stride distance shall
conform to the dimensions specified in Table l (see .l).

6.6 A single step can be recessed as specified in Figure i and Table l , letter Q. In such a case, due to the
Iimited view during egress, the step wrdth shall be at least as wide as the recomiiiended widtli for two feet.
