a)   Construction of foundations, slurry walls or retaining walls, using piles or other longitudinal elements;
b)   Removal of piles;
c)   Installation of drain or injection elements.
The pile material can be timber, concrete (precast or cast in situ) or steel (tubes or rolled sections). Additionally, piles may have an interlocking feature to enable adjacent piles to be joined together.
1.2   This European standard deals with all significant hazards pertinent to piling equipment, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see annex A) associated with the following:
-   Transport of equipment;
-   Rigging and dismantling of equipment;
-   Equipment in service and out of service;
-   Moving of equipment between pile positions;
-   Storage of equipment.
This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards.
1.3   Piling equipment includes:
a)   Piling rig consisting of carrier machine (crawler, wheel or rail mounted, floating), leader attachment, leader or other guiding systems, e.g. direct mounted, boom supported, swinging, guide cage or free riding;
b)   Pile installation and extraction equipment, e.g. impact hammers, extractors, vibrators or static pile pushing/pulling devices;
c)   Accessories, e.g. pile caps, helmets, plates, followers, clamping devices, pile handling devices, pile guides, acoustic shrouds and shock/vibration absorbing devices, power packs/generators and personnel lifts or platforms.
1.4   In addition, this standard applies to diaphragm walling rigs. Additionally, the particular requirements which apply to diaphragm walling equipment are given in normative annex C.

a)   Herstellung von Gründungen, Dichtwänden oder Stützwänden unter Verwendung von Pfählen oder anderen Rammelementen;
b)   Ziehen von Rammgut;
c)   Einbringen von Wasserhaltungs  oder Injektionselementen.
Die Rammelemente können aus Holz, Beton (Fertigteil- oder Ortbeton) oder aus Stahl (Rohre oder Walzprofile) hergestellt sein. Darüber hinaus können sie ein Schlosssystem zur Verbindung nebeneinander liegender Rammelemente besitzen.
1.2   Diese Norm behandelt alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, die auf Rammausrüstungen zutreffen, wenn sie bestimmungsgemäß und entsprechend den Empfehlungen des Herstellers in den folgenden Zusammenhängen verwendet werden (siehe Anhang A):
-   Transport der Ausrüstung;
-   Auf  und Abbau;
-   Ausrüstung im und außer Betrieb;
-   Umsetzen zwischen Rammpositionen;
-   Lagerung der Ausrüstung.
Diese Europäische Norm spezifiziert die entsprechenden technischen Maßnahmen zur Eliminierung oder Reduzierung der Risiken, die von den signifikanten Gefährdungen ausgehen.
1.3   Die Rammausrüstung umfasst:
a)   Ramme, bestehend aus Trägergerät (auf Raupen, Rädern oder Schienen, schwimmendes Gerät), Mäkleranbauausrüstungen, Mäkler oder andere Führungssysteme, z. B. in direkt angebauter, mastge-stützter, frei hängender Ausführung, mit Führungskäfig oder frei reitend;
b)   Ramm  und Zieheinrichtung, wie z. B. Schlaghämmer, Ziehhämmer, Rüttler oder statische Ramm  und Zieheinrichtungen;
c)   Zubehörteile, wie z. B. Schlaghauben, Rammhauben, Platten, Rammjungfern, Klemmvorrichtungen, Halte- und Führungseinrichtungen, Schallschutzeinrichtungen sowie Stoß /Schwingungsdämpfer, Kraftstationen/Generatoren und Personenlifts oder  plattformen.
1.4   Diese Norm gilt darüber hinaus für Schlitzwandausrüstungen. Der normative Anhang C enthält zusätzlich besondere Anforderungen an Schlitzwandausrüstungen.
1.5   Ist das Trägergerät einer Ramme ein Bagger, Kran usw., (...)
