A.1.6
stopping distance s
distance travelled by the machine from the point on the test course at which the machine brake control actuation

A.2 Braking systems performance
A.2.1 Common components
Brake systems may use common components.
However, a failure of any single component other than the ground-contacting components should not reduce the
effectiveness of the stopping capability of the machine below the necessary stopping performance of the secondary
braking system.
A.2.2 Service braking system
A.2.2.1 General
All machines shall be equipped with a service braking system capable of being controlled from the operator's sta-
tion.
A.2.2.2 Stopping performance
The stopping performance of the service braking system, when tested in accordance with A.3.2, shall be sufficient
to stop the machine within the distance specified in Table A.1 or Table A.2.
A.2.2.3 Holding performance
The holding performance of the service braking system, when tested in accordance with A.3.2, shall have the ca-
pability to hold the machine in both the forward and reverse direction of travel of
a) a 20 % gradient
or
b) the maximum gradient which the machine can climb.
The highest of values a) or b) is to be taken into account.
A.2.2.4 System recovery
The primary power source of the service braking system shall have the capability of delivering at least 70 % of
maximum brake pressure measured at the brakes when the brakes are fully applied 20 times at 10-s intervals with
the engine at maximum governed rpm.
A.2.2.5 Warning device (stored energy sources)
If stored energy is used for the service braking system, that system shall be equipped with a warning device which
actuates before system energy drops below the greater of 50 % of the manufacturer's specified maximum operat-
ing energy level or the level required to meet the secondary stopping requirements. The device shall readily attract
the operator's attention by providing a continuing visual or audible warning. Gauges indicating pressure or vacuum
do not meet this requirement.
A.2.3 Secondary braking system
A.2.3.1 Stopping performance
The secondary braking system, when tested in accordance with A.3.2, shall stop the machine within the distance
specified in Table A.2.
On machines using hydrostatic drives, the retarding force of the hydrostatic motors shall be removed from the drive
train, or as an alternative, the motors and gear final drives may be disengaged from the drive train before stopping-
distance tests are run.
Alternative test for machine using hydrostatic drives:
If it is difficult to remove the hydrostatic motor retarding force or to disengage the motor and gear final drive from
the drive train, the secondary braking system may be tested in the following way:
With the machine stationary, variable motors set to maximum displacement and any mechanical transmissions set
in the lowest speed range apply the secondary brake and engage the hydrostatic drive system at fully rated pres-
sure alternately in forward and reverse. The machine shall remain stationary.
A.2.3.2 Actuation
A.2.3.2.1 General
The secondary braking system shall be capable of being applied from the operator's station. The system shall be
arranged so that it cannot be released by the operator unless immediate re-application can be made to stop the
machine.
A.2.3.2.2 Automatic actuation (stored-energy system excluding hydrostatic systems)
The secondary braking system may be applied automatically in addition to the manual control. When automatic
actuation occurs, a continuous audible or visual warning device shall be activated before the secondary braking
system applies.
A.2.3.2.3 Automatic application, hydrostatic systems
If the service braking system releases following loss of hydraulic system charge pressure, the secondary braking
system may be applied automatically, e.g. by spring application, without activation of any control.
A.2.4 Parking brake system
A.2.4.1 Brake performance
All machines shall be equipped with a parking brake system capable of being applied and released from the opera-
tor's station. The parking brake system shall have the capability of holding the machine stationary on a 15 % gradi-
ent. The test course shall be as specified in A.3.1 except for gradient. Those criteria apply to both forward and re-
verse directions.
A.2.4.2 Alternative tests
If the test specified in A.3.1 is impractical, one of the following tests shall be carried out:
a) test of the unit on a tilt platform with a skid-resistant surface tilted to a 15 % angle.
b) test of the unit by applying a pulling force to a stationary machine with the parking brake set and transmission
in neutral or if hydrostatic drive, with pump by-passed. The test course is described in A.3.1. This force shall be
applied horizontally to achieve a minimum force equivalent to a 15 % gradient. This force, in N, is 1,46 times
the machine mass in kg.
A.2.4.3 Remain applied
The parking brake system when applied shall maintain the braking performance in compliance with A.2.3.1
or A.2.3.2 despite exhaustion of energy or leakage of any kind.
A.3 Brake test
A.3.1 Facilities and accuracy instrumentation
A.3.1.1 Test course
The test course shall consist of a hard, dry surface (ground moisture may be present to the extent that it does not
adversely affect the braking surface) with a well compacted base. The approach shall be of sufficient length,
smoothness and uniformity of gradient to assure stabilised travel speed of machine. The test course shall not have
more than 3 % gradient at right angles to the direction of travel. Gradient in the direction of travel shall not ex-
ceed 2 %.
A.3.1.2 Instrument accuracy
The instruments used to carry out the required measurements shall conform to conditions of ISO 9248.
A.3.2 Test requirements
A.3.2.1 All parameters related to braking systems, namely tyre size and pressure, brake adjustment, warning
device actuation point etc. shall be in accordance with the machine manufacturer's specifications. All power-
assisted pressures shall be within the machine manufacturer's specification range. No manual adjustment shall be
made to the brake system during any performance test.
A.3.2.2 Machines shall be tested at manufacturer's stated maximum mass.
A.3.2.3 Stopping distance shall be measured in metres from the point at which the brake-control application
begins to the point at which the machine is at rest.
A.3.2.4 Stopping tests shall be conducted from maximum machine speed in forward and reverse direction.
A.3.2.5 Stopping tests shall be conducted with the transmission in the gear commensurate with the speed
required in A.3.2.4 where applicable. The power train may be disengaged prior to completing the stop.
A.3.2.6 Retarders shall not be used in these tests unless the specific test states otherwise or the retarder is
always activated by the brake control that is used to activate the service or secondary braking system being tested.

minimum distance between the roller and operating personnel necessary to prevent injury
B.4 Safety requirements and measures
B.4.1 All travel movements shall be switched off automatically by the receiver if:
a) the maximum range exceeds 20 m;
b) the distance of the machine to the operator is closer than 2 m;
c) a break in communications between the remote controls and machinery lasting longer than 3 s occurs;
d) the power supply to the transmitter or receiver is interrupted;
e) the travel controls are released.
NOTE If there is an insufficient state of charge concerning the battery of the transmitter, this state should be indicated (e.g.
acoustically or optically) before the function of the equipment is affected in any way (e.g. alteration of the transmission of control
commands).
B.4.2 When a return of power occurs after a power cut affecting the transmitter or receiver, the roller shall not
automatically start to move.
B.4.3 Transmitters and receivers shall be assigned to each other, e.g. on the basis of a code.
NOTE Measures should be taken to ensure that interference with the process of wireless transmission due to external sig-
nals or a combination of several remote control systems with the same transmission frequency does not cause hazardous
movements.
B.4.4 No hazardous movements shall be caused on connection of transmitter or receiver to a power source.
B.4.5 Remote controls shall be constructed to be capable of withstanding any operation stresses and external
influences which may reasonably be expected.
Operating stresses are, for example:
 actuation frequencies;
 electrical load.
External influences are, for example:
 continuous vibration, impacts, shocks;
 dampness;
 external optical, magnetic, electromagnetic, electrostatic fields;
 extraneous light, e.g. interrupted alternating illumination caused by pulsating light sources or gas-discharge
lamps;
 solar influence;
 ambient temperatures;
 interference in power supply as well as variations in voltage and frequency;
 effects on connecting cables, linking components of the receiver and the control system of the roller, which are
located in separate casings, due to which a short circuit of any two conductors of such cables or an interrup-
tion of a conductor could be caused which could in turn could lead to a cancellation of the cut-out.
B.4.6 The beam angle of the transmission element shall not exceed 60°.
NOTE It is intended that this measure limits the possibility of a command being unintentionally issued due to reflecting
walls or obstacles.
B.4.7 The number of the transmitted commands shall be higher than the executed commands because of data
safety.
B.4.8 Due to safety requirements the steering telegrams shall consist of several independent telegrams.
B.4.9 The remote control shall be realised by stateful dependent logic.
B.5 Components and equipment
B.5.1 Switching equipment with an automatic reset shall be provided on the drive system. It shall not be possible
to restart the machine unintentionally if the roller stops due to the release of such switching equipment.
B.5.2 The controls for the drive system shall be designed in such a way that, when the roller is working, the con-
trols can be actuated from the operator's station to give the desired effect.
It shall also be possible to operate the controls safely while wearing protective gloves.
B.5.3 If programming is used in the process of transmitting commands in conjunction with the remote controls, it
shall only be possible to alter the programme with a special tool.
B.5.4 The power supply of the receiver shall have its own separate fuses.
B.5.5 Insulation and current-carrying of peripheral conductors and cables for power supply, receiving elements
and actuators shall correspond with EN 60204-1. The current carrying of conductors on printed boards in remote
controls shall be laid out for a maximum temperature increase of 10 °C.
B.5.6 The requirements laid down in EN 60664 shall apply to the measurement of safety distances.
B.5.7 The remote control shall bear legibly and indelibly the following minimum information:
 name and address of the manufacturer;
 type;
 year of manufacture;
 product identification number.
The description of type shall clearly indicate the relationship between transmitter and receiver.
The following message shall be legibly and durably shown on the transmitter (either by text or by an appropriate
pictogram):
CLEAN THE TRANSMITTER ELEMENTS BEFORE USE
B.5.8 The safety-related parts of the control system of remote infrared controllers shall be in accordance with
category 2 of EN 954-1:1996 (corresponds to IEC 61508, SIL 1).
B.5.9 Remote-control units shall be supplied with operating instructions containing all technical and safety infor-
mation required for utilising the controls in accordance with the regulations, e.g.:
 data on performance and operating limits;
 instructions on actuation;
 a description of the actuation equipment;
 the instruction handbook shall contain information regarding the assigned operator's location, and it shall spec-
ify if the actuation of controls from the operator's place/station which is on the opposite side does not corre-
spond with the intended/expected direction of the roller movement;
 instructions concerning safe operation (changing the battery, cleaning, reflections, encoding etc.);
 instructions on action in the event of the occurrence of faults;
 instructions in accordance with B.5.2 and accompanying note;
 the minimum distance between machine and operator shall be 2 m.
Annex C
(normative)
Noise test code for hand-guided and remote-controlled vibratory ground
compaction machines
C.1 Scope
This noise test code specifies all the information necessary to carry out efficiently and under standardised condi-
tions the determination, declaration and verification of the noise emission characteristics of hand-guided vibratory
ground compaction machines.
Noise emission characteristics include emission sound pressure levels at workstations and the sound power level.
The determination of those quantities is necessary for:
 manufacturers to declare the noise emitted;
 comparing the noise emitted by machines in the family concerned;
 purposes of noise control at the source at the design stage.
The use of this noise test code ensures reproducibility of the determination of the noise emission characteristics
within specified limits determined by the grade of accuracy of the basic noise-measurement method used. Noise-
measurement methods allowed by this standard are engineering methods (grade 2).
Operating and mounting conditions for the determination of noise emission (according to this annex) and hand-arm
vibration (according to Annex D) are identical. It is therefore possible and recommended to record the noise emis-
sion and the hand-arm vibration simultaneously during one measurement. The measuring effort is thereby reduced.
Pedestrian-controlled machines with a working width of more than 1 m shall be measured according to Annex E.
