Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso
.org/iso/foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 82, Mining, in cooperation with Technical
Committee ISO/TC 127, Earth-moving machinery.

Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the
market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers;
— mining companies;
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organisations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others that can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document
by the above-mentioned stakeholder groups are:
— machine operators;
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance;
— third party system and technology providers.
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events
are covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
When requirements of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B
standards, the requirements of this type C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other
standards, for rock drill rigs and rock reinforcement rigs that have been designed and built according
to the requirements of this type C standard.
The following assumptions were made in writing this document:
a) the operators of the machines are well trained professionals and aware of potential risks of the
working environment (see ISO/IEC GUIDE 51:2014, 6.1 a);
b) the machines are operated according to the instructions given by the manufacturer, such as
operator's instructions (see ISO/IEC GUIDE 51:2014, 7.4.2.2);
c) administrative controls are in place for preventing unauthorized entry of persons to the area where
machines are working (see ISO/IEC GUIDE 51:2014, 6.2.2 and note).
For increased readability of this document, rock drill rigs and rock reinforcement rigs are called rigs.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 18758-2:2018(E)
Mining and earth-moving machinery — Rock drill rigs and
rock reinforcement rigs —
Part 2:
Safety requirements
1 Scope
This document specifies the safety requirements for rock drill rigs and rock reinforcement rigs designed
for the following underground or surface operations:
a) blast hole drilling;
b) rock reinforcement;
c) drilling for secondary breaking;
d) dimensional stone drilling;
e) mineral prospecting, e.g. utilizing core drilling or reverse circulation;
f) water and methane drainage drilling;
g) raise boring.
NOTE Rigs can be designed for more than one of the operations above. See ISO 18758-1 for vocabulary.
This document is also applicable to earth-moving machinery as defined in ISO 6165, modified to become
a rock drill rig or rock reinforcement rig.
This document is not applicable to the following machines: drill rigs for soil and rock mixture;
(geothermal drill rigs, water well drill rigs, water jet drill rigs, micro pile drill rigs; surface horizontal
directional drill rigs (HDD) as defined in ISO 21467), kelly drill rigs (and casing drivers); cable tool drill
rigs; pre-armouring machines; sonic drill rigs; shaft sinking drill rigs; crane attached drill rigs; drill
rigs on derricks; scaling machines.
This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events, as listed
in Annex E, relevant to rock drill rigs and rock reinforcement rigs (see ISO 18758-1), when they are used
as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
This document is not applicable to rigs manufactured before the date of its publication.
