terial construction machinery and equipment — 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by endorsement, at the latest by September 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the lat-
est by December 2009.
This document includes Amendment 1, approved by CEN on 2009-02-15.
This document supersedes !EN 500-4:2006".

Introduction
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indi-
cated in the scope of this European Standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the pro-
visions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have
been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
1 Scope
This part of EN 500 specifies the safety requirements for compaction machines as defined in Clause 3 and deals
with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to compaction machines, when they are used
as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable.
This document specifies additional requirements to and/or exceptions from EN 500-1 ”Common requirements”.
