Scope

This part of EN 474 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to wheel and crawler backhoe loaders as defined in EN ISO 6165:2006, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This part also deals with fork application, object handling application and log handling.
The requirements of this part are complementary to the common requirements formulated in
EN 474-1:2006+A1:2009.

This part 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 backhoe loaders.
This European Standard is not applicable to machinery manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.
