Foreword
This European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 151 "Construction equipment
and building material machines - Safety", the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2001, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by August 2001.
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and
the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this standard.
Annex A is informative and contains "Terminology";
Annex B is informative and contains "Hopper safety device".
This standard contains a “Bibliography” as well.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
0 Introduction
This European Standard is a Type C-standard as stated in EN 292.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this
standard.
1 Scope
This European Standard applies to road surface cleaning machines, which are defined in clause 3. The
equipment would normally be mounted on a carrier vehicle (e.g. truck, tractor, construction machinery and
mobile industrial handling equipment). It is also possible to mount a road surface cleaning machine on its own
chassis construction and propulsion system. In all cases the machine and chassis form an integral unit.
Directives and standards for the vehicular truck chassis aspect, termed 'carrier vehicle' in this standard, would
be those relative to that equipment, even where specific modifications have been made to realize the road
surface cleaning application. The use in public road traffic is governed by the national regulations.
This European Standard deals with all significant hazards identified through a risk assessment pertinent to
road surface cleaning machines when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the
manufacturer. This European Standard does not deal with significant hazards associated with noise and EMC.
This European Standard only specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising
from the significant hazards associated with machine operation, setting and adjustments, load discharge and
routine maintenance.
This European Standard does not include requirements for the carrier vehicles (e.g. truck) or special
constructions. These are covered in directives related to the construction of vehicles. Demountable bodywork
systems (e.g. demountable containers) are specified in other standards.
This European Standard does not apply to road surface cleaning machines such as front mounted tractor
brooms according to prEN 13524:1999
This European Standard does not apply to machines or components that are specifically designed for cleaning
tram-lines and rail tracks.
This European Standard does not deal with the risks associated with the operation of machines in potentially
explosive atmospheres.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard the terms and definitions stated in EN 1070:1998 apply.
Additional terms and definitions specifically needed for this European Standard are added below:
3.1
road surface cleaning machines
machines for removal of spoil on traffic areas, where the machines are permanently fixed or demountable from
a carrier vehicle or specially designed chassis (see annex A).
Road surface cleaning machines are equipped with sweep gear to scarify debris. The sweepings maybe
collected by the machine and conveyed into a hopper.
3.2
demountable machine
machine, that may be demounted from and remounted to the carrier vehicle.
3.3
hopper
container for the collected sweepings or spoil.

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------

Page 6
EN 13019:2001
3.4
sweep gear
collective name for all components that perform the cleaning function such as brushes, brooms, pneumatic
and/or mechanical conveyance equipment, flushing and high pressure washer equipment.
3.5
pick-up system
means for conveying the sweepings into the hopper.
3.6
traffic area
paved areas on which there is vehicular and/or pedestrian traffic. Not included are rail tracks which are solely
for rail-mounted traffic, as well as traffic areas inside buildings and underground.
4 List of significant hazards
