15、 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 15429-2:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 337 “Winter maintenance and road service area maintenance equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publicat
16、ion of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2013.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 this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not
17、 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 traffic, pedestrians and those within industrial complexes. Most of these sweeper
18、s 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 transfer stations. Sweeping applications are mainly related to the physical siz
19、e 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 designed for the cleaning of inner town streets, pedestrian zones, pavements, bicycle
20、 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. equipment temporally mounted on multi-purpose carrier vehicles or other machines) may
21、 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 series of documents made up of the following parts: EN 15429-1, Sweepers - Part 1: Cl
22、assification 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, Sweepers - Part 4: Symbols for operator controls and other displays. According
23、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, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Gree
24、ce, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. BS EN 15429-2:2012EN 15429-2:2012 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard applies to surface cleanin
25、g machines for outdoor applications in public areas, 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, tru
26、ck mounted, attached sweeping equipment or pedestrian 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 Standar
27、d does not include carrier vehicles (e.g. trucks). 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 a
28、pply to machines or components that are specifically 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 f
29、rom this standard. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

43、rformance 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 sweep
44、er can mount when approaching from a static position, at alternate angles of 30 and 60. The mass of the machine may affect the achievement and performance shall be declared at the maximum permitted mass. Physical constraints where a structural element of the sweeper may impact a kerb shall be declar
45、ed as the limiting factor in defining maximum kerb/step height. Impact with flexible elements, for example brush tines and flexible curtains etc. shall be excluded. The following information shall accompany the kerb climbing and clearance capability (see figure 3) declaration: sweeper - model/type a

48、ngles of 30 and 60 to the kerb with the steering set in the straight-ahead position. The test is complete once all wheels have mounted the kerb without impact with any structural element, save impact with brush tines or flexible curtains. The test kerb shall have initial start height of 120 mm and i

If the initial test kerb height of 120 mm is impractical then it may be reduced to allow a test to be conducted. The sweeper shall be laden to its permitted maximum mass and equipped with tyres in a new condition and pressurized according to the sweeper manufacturers recommendation.
