Foreword
This document (EN 500-4:2011) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 151 Building material
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text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2011, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by August 2011.
This document supersedes EN 500-4:2006+A1:2009.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive.
For relationship with EU Directive, see informative Annex ZA which is an integral part of this document.
The following changes have been introduced during the revision of EN 500-4:2006+A1:2009:
 exclusion of machines for seated ride-on operated rollers with a drum width less than nominal 0,8 m;
 addition of warnings and instructions regarding use of machines with a drum width less than nominal 1 m;
 vibrating rollers, irrespective whether they are intended for ride-on operation, pedestrian- or remote-
controlled are measured on a cushion/elastic underlay;
 non-vibrating rollers, irrespective whether they are intended for ride-on operation, pedestrian- or remote-
controlled are measured on a rigid reflecting plane without load and engine operating at nominal power-
output;
 vibratory rammers are measured on the gravel-track;
 vibratory plates are measured on the gravel-track;
 for pragmatic reasons the deletion of explosion rammers and non-vibrating towed rollers/equipment is
suggested ancillary, because today explosion-rammers cannot be found in the market any longer and
non-vibrating towed rollers/equipment represent a passive attachment without any power-source and a
function based on static-load only.
EN 500 “Mobile road construction machinery — Safety” comprise the following parts:

 Part 2: Specific requirements for road-milling machines;
 Part 3: Specific requirements for soil-stabilising machines and recycling machines;
 Part 4: Specific requirements for compaction machines;
 Part 6: Specific requirements for paver-finishers.

or carried as attachment to a carrying machine. A compaction machine may be controlled by direct control of
an operator in physical contact with the machine (seated or standing on the machine, or walking behind
operating the controls directly mounted on the machine), or indirect control without physical contact of an
operator with the machine (remote controlled by wire or wireless in accordance with Annex A)
