ISO 19296:2018

Mining - Mobile machines working underground - Machine safety

This document specifies the safety requirements for self-propelled mobile machines used in underground mining, as defined in 3.1.

This document deals with hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events (see Annex B) relevant to these machines when they are used as intended or under conditions of misuse reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.

For utility/service/support machines, this document only includes provisions to address the risks associated with the mobility (movement of the whole machine from one location to another). Risks for the additional functions (e.g. scaling, concrete spraying, bolting, charging, drilling, attachments) are not covered in this document.

This document specifies the appropriate technical measures for eliminating or sufficiently reducing risks arising from hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events during commissioning, operation and maintenance.

This document does not address:

— the additional risks for machines operating in potentially explosive atmospheres;

— air quality and engine emissions.

This document is not applicable to:

— machines constrained to operate by rails;

— continuous miners, roadheaders, drill rigs, conveyors, long wall production equipment, tunnel boring machines (TBM), and mobile crushers.
