The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are covered are indicated in the
25、 scope of this document. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the prov
26、isions of this type C standard. Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 05/03/2010 01:30, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIBS EN 15503:2009EN 15503:2009 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of hand-held
27、combustion engine powered and back-pack combustion engine powered, garden vacuums and garden blower/vacuums with or without shredding means and garden blowers, designed for one operator only. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices (including residual risks) to be
28、 provided by the manufacturer. Throughout this European Standard the term machine is used to mean all the types of garden blowers and vacuums covered by it. This European Standard deals, with all hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to these machines when they are used as intended and u
29、nder the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4), except for: - vibration of backpack machines; - structural integrity for blowers and blower vacuums; - strength for harnesses and back-pack supports. This European Standard is not applicable to: walk-behind, hand-guided (support-wheele
30、d) and ride-on machines; mains driven and battery powered blowers and vacuums of combinations thereof; NOTE EN 60335-1 1 and IEC 60335-2-100 2 give the safety requirements for mains driven blowers and blower vacuums, vacuum cleaners for household and industrial use. This European Standard is not app
31、licable to machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edi
