This Europe
18、an 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of
19、 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. Generally, all surface cleaning machines sweepers, are designed to clean paved surfaces of varying textures associated with areas exposed to vehicular t
20、raffic, pedestrians and those within industrial complexes. Most of these sweepers are equipped with sweep gear to scarify debris with a pick-up system that collects and conveys the spoil into a hopper. This hopper can be discharged at dumping grounds, unloading stations, into containers or at refuse
21、 transfer stations. Sweeping applications are mainly related to the physical size and dimensions of the sweeper. Sweepers of larger dimensions are designed to operate mainly on streets, highways, motorways, large parking areas and within industrial complexes. Sweepers of smaller dimensions are desig
22、ned for the cleaning of inner town streets, pedestrian zones, pavements, bicycle lanes, car parking facilities market places and within industrial plants etc. Manuvrability is one of the main features of this category of sweeper. Depending on the dimensions, sweeping attachment equipment (e.g. equip
23、ment temporally mounted on multi-purpose carrier vehicles or other machines) may be used in similar applications as above. Additional equipment for specialised cleaning applications; that may be attached to a sweeper is not covered by this standard. This document (EN 15429-2:2012) is part of a serie
24、s of documents made up of the following parts: EN 15429-1, Sweepers - Part 1: Classification and Terminology; EN 15429-2, Sweepers - Part 2: Performance requirements and test methods; prEN 15429-3, Sweepers - Part 3: Efficiency of particulate matter collection - Testing and Evaluation; prEN 15429-4,
25、 Sweepers - Part 4: Symbols for operator controls and other displays. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark
26、, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

28、s, roads, airports and industrial complexes. Cleaning machines for winter maintenance and/or indoor applications are not included within the scope of this European Standard. Surface cleaning machines in terms of this standard, are self-propelled, truck mounted, attached sweeping equipment or pedestr
29、ian controlled. This European Standard deals with the performance and functional characteristics and the test methods applied to the sweeping equipment when used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer. This European Standard does not include carrier vehicles (e.g. trucks).
30、 These are covered in national or EU Directives for vehicles. This European Standard does not apply to road surface cleaning equipment that would be front mounted on tractors according to EN 13524, or other vehicles. This European Standard does not apply to machines or components that are specifical
31、ly designed for cleaning tramlines and rail tracks. This European Standard does not cover noise emission or any overload protection as these are covered by regulatory requirements. Industrial sweepers, within the scope of EN 60335-2-72 are excluded from this standard. 2 Normative references The foll
32、owing documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

40、motor or hybrid drive system providing the principal power sources for work and travel mode functions. Note 1 to entry: Some sweepers may employ separate prime movers for propulsion and for driving the sweeping mechanisms. 3.10 truck/carrier vehicle base vehicle on to which the sweeper equipment is
41、mounted, the sweeper equipment may be in some cases powered by the truck/carrier vehicle prime mover via power-take-off facilities or similar 4 Performance requirements and test methods 4.1 Theoretical sweeping capability A theoretical value, expressed in m2/h, derived from a calculation of the prod

47、The tractive effort of the sweepers propulsion system and the approach angle when mounting a kerb or step affects its ability to mount it and generally, the more acute the angle of approach the greater the difficulty. Performance shall be expressed as the maximum step height (mm) the sweeper can mou
