This document does not cover:
- design relating to road traffic regulations (e.g. lighting, dimensions, speed limit plate);
- hazards arising from the use of the machines in potentially explosive atmospheres as well as from processing of explosive materials and risks related to electromagnetic compatibility;
- hazards arising from the use of the laser sensors;
- fully or partially self-evolving behaviour or logic;
- collaborative applications.

Overview
FprEN 1009-6 (CEN) specifies safety requirements and verification for mobile machinery used in the mechanical processing of minerals and similar solid materials - including crushing, screening, feeding and conveying of cement, lime, gypsum, sand, gravel, ores, coal, slag, ashes and construction/demolition waste. This Part 6 is specific to mobile machinery and complements EN 1009‑1:2020+FprA1:2025 and Parts 2–5, adding or replacing requirements where applicable. It addresses hazards across the machine’s lifetime and requires manufacturers to provide information on safe working practices and residual risks.
Key topics and technical requirements
FprEN 1009-6 covers practical, machine-level safety topics relevant to mobile processing equipment, including:
- Openings and access: requirements for safe access and size/classification for compact, heavy and extra-heavy mobile machines.
- Visibility and control devices: operator sightlines, emergency-stop, travel vs processing modes, setup and unpacking controls.
- Safeguarding of components: belt conveyors, apron feeders, magnetic separators, radial conveyors and engine compartments.
- Safety-related control systems: verification of safety-related parts of control systems and logic.
- Hydraulics, pneumatics and electricals: safe design and specific notes on electrostatic charge risk.
- Lifting, tying-down and transport: mandatory lifting/towing/tie-down point provisions for mobile plants.
- Maintenance and inspections: routine maintenance access, guarding removal and safe working instructions.
- Noise and vibration: noise reduction as a safety requirement, plus a detailed noise test code (Annex D) and declaration format.
- Hot parts, fuel/DEF tanks and batteries: thermal guarding, filler openings, fire extinguisher and battery safety.
- Mobile movement and wheeled machine specifics: safe travel, operating modes and exclusions for road traffic requirements.
Exclusions: ride-on machines, hazards from explosive atmospheres, EMC, laser sensors, collaborative applications and self-evolving logic. Machines manufactured before the standard’s publication date are not covered.
Applications and who should use it
FprEN 1009-6 is primarily for:
- Manufacturers and OEMs of mobile crushers, screens, conveyors and mobile plants
- Design and safety engineers implementing CE / machinery directive compliance
- Maintenance and operations teams requiring safe-use documentation and procedures
- Test laboratories and conformity assessors verifying noise and safety requirements
- Procurement and fleet managers specifying safe mobile processing equipment
Use the standard to design, verify and document safety features, prepare instruction handbooks, and ensure compliance with machine safety obligations.
