4 Safety requirements for the roller brake testers and/or protective/risk
reduction measures
4.1 General
The machinery shall comply with the requirements and/or preventive measures of this clause.
In addition, the machinery shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100 for relevant
hazards but non-significant hazards, which are not dealt with in this document.
Safety devices shall ensure that the risk of an intrusion in a trapping zone and/or contact with moving
parts (from brake tester and vehicle moving parts, such as drive shaft, put in movement by the roller
brake tester) is reduced to the lowest possible level.
During the functioning of the machinery, in case of a chassis fitted on an inspection pit, they shall
prevent or detect access to the area under the floor level close to the bench to prevent contact with the
moving parts of the machinery and the vehicle under test.
If a safety device stops the brake tester running, the system shall be only re-engaged by a voluntary
action from the operator on a control device of the roller brake tester. The automatic restart of the
system after a stop caused by a safety device shall not be possible under any circumstances.
Safety devices shall be designed in a way to authorize the test bench motor start and control the stop,
keeping into account the possibility of stops by unintended response of the safety device (e.g. by dust,
snow or smoke, by slightly moving vehicle, by sensor cables). The option of operating the machinery
without the vehicle and with the safety devices disabled shall be only foreseen for maintenance and
calibration operations, with dedicated procedures carried out only by trained personnel, as foreseen at
Subclauses 4.3.3.4 and 4.3.3.5 and subsequent. If possible, the condition and use of safety devices
should be registered on IT support.
Safety devices necessary for the safe functioning of the roller brake tester shall be considered part of
the machinery itself. In some cases, as the correct functioning of safety devices can depend on specific
installation conditions, the characteristic of such devices shall be evaluated according to the specifics of
the installation.
All safety devices which control the start-up and/or emergency-stop of the motors (Stop Category 0 or
Category 1 under EN 60204-1) shall deliver performance level according to Table 1 (see 4.5).

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 17003:2016
prEN 17003:2016 (E)
If safety devices are not able to eliminate every risk completely, then residual risks shall be underlined
and adequately managed in the user manual.
Before putting the roller brake tester into service, the manufacturer or his authorized representative
(or in specific case the installer) shall:
a) ensure that it satisfies the relevant essential health and safety requirements;
b) ensure that the technical file is available;
c) provide, in particular, the necessary information, such as instructions;
d) carry out the appropriate procedures for assessing conformity according to the manufacturer's
prescription;
e) draw up the EC declaration of conformity and ensure that it accompanies the machinery;
f) affix the CE marking.
4.2 Protection around chassis zone
4.2.1 Protection against hazard arising from moving parts
The chassis shall be designed in such a way as to make it impossible to access internal moving parts
(drive chains, gears).
The guard shall be designed according to EN 953.
4.2.2 Axle presence detection
Each side of the roller brake tester shall be fitted with a wheel presence sensor. The 2-wheel presence
sensors shall be simultaneously activated to allow the bench to start.
The axle presence detection device shall prohibit the roller brake tester to start in case of axle lack and
shall interrupt roller brake tester operation if axle presence information is lost.
If the roller brake tester is equipped with weight measurement, a crosscheck with the presence
detection can be used to detect a sensor failure.
The system shall deliver a PL = c.
r
4.2.3 Access protection to the chassis via the floor, around wheels and rollers
The chassis shall be provided with appropriate means to prevent any unintentional entrance inside the
no-trespassing area.
The lateral access to the chassis via the floor, around wheels and rollers shall be prevented by barriers.
If there is a free access way of at least 800 mm wide, 2 physical barriers shall be designed and installed
accordingly to EN ISO 13857 on each side of the bench. These 2 safeguards shall have a height of 1,40 m
and a minimum total length of 3 m centred on the mid-axle of the rollers.
The risk of front and rear access to the chassis shall be managed by (at least) signalling the no-
trespassing area using adequate visual elements like stripes on the floor, warning lights, and similar
(see Figure 1).
The no-trespassing area shall be at least the area delimited by the physical barriers.

Figure 1 — Surface protection
In the case of an installation to replace a roller brake tester in an existing installation pit which is
located closer than 800 mm from a wall then specific equivalent provisions shall be taken to prevent
access to the area between the roller brake tester and the wall.
4.2.4 Access protection to the chassis from the inspection pit (if exists)
When the roller brake tester is fitted on an inspection pit or close to an inspection pit, then the rotation
of the rollers shall be stopped or prevented from starting in case of access to the hazard zone from the
inspection pit to prevent the presence of persons in dangerous areas of the rotating drive shafts, the
vehicle wheels, or the rollers of the test bench.
For a roller brake tester stopping time of 0,8 s max then the protection distance before the bench from
the top of the first roller shall be minimum 2,4 m and 5,0 m after the bench from the top of the second
roller.
The design of all auxiliary equipment, like air pressure sensors, should be compatible with the use of
the safety device.
In the Informative Annex C, examples of solutions are given.
In case of use of detection devices, they shall be compliant with EN ISO 13855.
The system shall deliver a PL = d.
