European foreword
This document (EN 16228-3:2014+A1:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 151
“Construction equipment and building material machines - 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 June 2022 and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by June 2022.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes !EN 16228-3:2014".
This document includes Amendment 1 approved by CEN on 22 November 2021.
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags !".
This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU
Directive(s) / Regulation(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s) / Regulation(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral
part of this document.
This European Standard is divided into several parts and covers drilling and foundation equipment.
Part 1 contains requirements that are/may be common to all drilling and foundation equipment. Other
parts contain additional requirements for specific machines that supplement or modify the
requirements of part 1. Compliance with the clauses of part 1 together with those of a relevant specific
part of this standard giving requirements for a particular machine provides one means of conforming
with the essential health and safety requirements of the Directive concerned.
When a relevant specific part does not exist, part 1 can help to establish the requirements for the
machine, but will not by itself provide a means of conforming to the relevant essential health and safety
requirements of the Directive.
This European Standard, EN 16228, Drillling and foundation equipment – Safety, consists of the
following parts:
 Part 1: Common requirements
 !Part 2: Mobile drill rigs for civil and geotechnical engineering in soil or soil and rock mixture"
 Part 3: Horizontal directional drilling equipment (HDD)

Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this type C document are different from those, which are stated in type A or B
documents, the provisions of this type C document take precedence over the provisions of the other
documents, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C
document.

1 Scope
This European Standard, together with part 1, deals with all significant hazards for horizontal
directional drilling equipment (HDD) when they are used as intended and under the conditions of
misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer associated with the whole life time of the
machine (see Clause 4).
The requirements of this part are complementary to the common requirements formulated in !EN
16228-1:2014+A1:2021".
This document does not repeat the requirements from !EN 16228-1:2014+A1:2021", but adds or
replaces the requirements for application for horizontal directional drills.
A machine is considered a horizontal directional drill if it is designed to drill in a shallow arc for the
installation of pipes, conduits, and cables and typically has a drill string entry angle of less than 45°
relative to the operating surface of the earth.

NOTE Terminology for horizontal directional drills is specified in ISO 21467.
3.1
horizontal directional drill
machine that uses a steerable cutting head attached to the end of a drill string for creating a bore
through the earth in a horizontal direction
Note 1 to entry: Drilling can include fluid injection through the drill string to the cutting head, tracking of the
bore by use of sensors or a transponder near the cutting head and subsequent enlargement of the bore by back-
reaming.
3.2
drill string for HDD
length of rods joined together which transmit forces from the drill frame to the cutting head or back-
reamer that cuts the earth and which is also used to rotate the cutting head to position it for steering
Note 1 to entry: This terms is herafter referred to as "drill string".
3.3
drill frame
structure on the horizontal directional drill that transmits rotational and linear forces to the drill string
3.4
ground fixation device

the bore
3.7

equipped with mechanical drill rod/pipe loaders
3.10
operator zone of control
visible length of the drill pipe when seated in the operator’s seat with a profile of 60° each side based on
the nasal binocular field of vision assuming a fixed head and fixed eyes measured from the central
