Implementation of minimum safety and health requirements at temporary or mobile constructions sites
General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.
Directive 92/57/EEC covers "Implementation of minimum safety and health requirements at temporary or mobile constructions sites". There are 2 standards associated with this directive.
Harmonized standards under 92/57/EEC are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 92/57/EEC, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
This document provides requirements for electrical safety for:
- dead working on an overhead contact line system;
- working activities near an overhead contact line system when it is live.
It applies to all work activities in relation to electrical hazards only.
This document is applicable to overhead contact line systems with the following nominal voltages:
- 1,5 kV and 3 kV dc;
- 15 kV, 2x15 kV, 25 kV and 2x25 kV ac.
It also provides requirements for work activities that can give rise to electrical hazards from the return circuit.
This document does not cover electrical risk arising from:
- live working on overhead contact line systems (live working can be carried out according to national requirements and practices);
- working on or near other electrical sources.
If there are no other rules or procedures, this document could be applied to overhead contact line systems with other nominal voltages.
