events are covered are indicated in the scope of this document When provisions of this type-C standard are different from those that 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 provisions of this type-C standard NOTE Some machines covered by this standard present risks that are very similar to mobile cranes BS EN 12001:2012 EN 12001:2012 (E) 1.1 Scope This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for conveying machines, spraying machines, placing machines, and delivery line systems for concrete and mortar as defined in the definitions in 3.3 to 3.6 The machinery can be stationary or mobile This European Standard does not cover: machines that are mobile during conveying, spraying and placing; cabins for any machines covered by this standard; additional functions beyond conveying, spraying and placing concrete and mortar, e.g separate mixing function or crane function; requirements for operation in tunnels; support structures (i.e tower systems) not exclusively designed for the use with concrete distribution booms This European Standard does not establish the additional requirements for operations subject to special rules (e.g potentially explosive atmospheres, supply by electrical networks where voltage, frequency and tolerance differ from those of the public supply, earthquake, lightning, using on public roads) 1.2 This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to conveying, spraying and placing machines when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4) This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards during transportation, assembly, dismantling, disabling, scrapping, operation and maintenance 1.3 This European Standard is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN Normative references The following

EN 12001:2012 EN 12001:2012 (E) Annex C (normative) Noise test code for machines and equipment for conveying, spraying and placing concrete and mortar C.1 Scope This noise test code defines all necessary information to carry out efficiently and under standardised conditions the determination, declaration and verification of the noise-emission characteristics of machines and equipment for conveying, spraying and placing concrete and mortar Noise-emission characteristics include the emission sound pressure level at the workstation and the sound-power level The determination of those quantities is necessary for: manufacturers to declare the noise emitted; purposes of noise control at the source at the design stage The use of this noise test code ensures reproducibility of the determination of the noise-emission characteristics within specified limits determined by the grade of accuracy of the basic noise-measurement method used Noisemeasurement methods allowed by this standard are engineering methods (grade 2) This document specifies noise-measurement methods, installation/mounting and operation conditions that shall be used for the test C.2 Determination of the A-weighted sound power level C.2.1 General The determination of the A-weighted sound power level shall be made according to EN ISO 3744:2010 The uncertainty due to reproducibility of the measurement method used as applied to the machines covered by this standard is dB (grade “engineering”) This is the expanded measurement uncertainty as defined in EN ISO 3744:2010, Clause The total uncertainty may be larger if the sound emission of the machine is unstable (see EN ISO 3744:2010, Clause and H.2) C.2.2 Measurement surface and microphone positions C.2.2.1 Concrete pumps Measurement surface and microphone positions shall be in accordance with EN ISO 3744:2010 Due to the same type of design of concrete pumps and the resulting same location of the main sound sources, either the hemispherical or the parallelepiped measurement surface method can be used NOTE Outriggers, delivery lines and concrete-placing booms are not significant sound radiators and therefore they not need to be considered for the determination of the reference box as defined in EN ISO 3744:2010 57 BS EN 12001:2012 EN 12001:2012 (E) C.2.2.2 All other machines Measurement surface and microphone positions shall be in accordance with EN ISO 3744:2010 The hemispherical measurement surface shall be used NOTE Outriggers, delivery lines and concrete-placing booms are not significant sound radiators and therefore they not need to be considered for the determination of the reference box as defined in EN ISO 3744:2010 C.3 Determination of the A-weighted emission sound pressure level at workstations C.3.1 General The A-weighted emission sound pressure levels shall be determined in accordance to EN ISO 11201:2010 with grade accuracy If machines cannot be measured in an essentially free field over a reflecting plane, the emission sound pressure level shall be determined according to EN ISO 11204:2010 with grade accuracy The measurement shall be taken in absence of the operator The uncertainty due to reproducibility of the measurement methods used as applied to the machines covered by this standard is dB (grade “engineering”) This is the expanded measurement uncertainty as defined in EN ISO 11201:2010, Clause 11 The total uncertainty may be larger if the sound emission of the machine is unstable (see EN ISO 11201:2010, Clause 11 and C.3) C.3.2 Workstations C.3.2.1 Remote-controlled machines Where the machine is remote-controlled, the A-weighted sound pressure levels shall be measured on a path surrounding the machine at a distance of 1,00 m from the surface of the machinery and at a height of 1,60 m from the floor or access platform The distance between two microphone positions on the path shall be maximum 2,00 m The final result shall be the highest value of the A-weighted emission sound-pressure levels determined and the position where it is obtained C.3.2.2 Machines with defined workstations Where the machine has defined workstations specified by the manufacturer in the Instruction Handbook, the measurement points shall be at the workstations at a height of 1,60 m from the floor or access platform and in a distance of 1,00 m from the surface of the machine C.4 Operating conditions C.4.1 Operating conditions during test The test shall be carried out under normal operating conditions including all sources of noise normally present when the machine is in operation NOTE Since noise emission depends on the corresponding operation mode of the machines, the operating conditions are specified in order to obtain comparable measuring results The test shall be carried out with a simulated load using water NOTE Noise emission with water is representative of that with concrete or mortar The use of water ensures repeatability, reproducibility and consequently comparability of results The operating conditions shall be identical for the determination of both sound power levels and emission sound pressure levels at workstations and for declaration purposes 58 BS EN 12001:2012 EN 12001:2012 (E) The machine shall be set up and operated according to the manufacturer's Instruction Handbook C.4.2 Test under load For combustion engines, the medium pump shall be operated under maximum retrievable power at maximum volume output and at maximum operational rpm of the engine defined by the manufacturer For electrical motors, the medium pump shall be operated under maximum retrievable power at maximum volume output and at maximum current consumption of the motor defined by the manufacturer For combustion engines and electrical motors, the operating pressure with water is created by using an adjustable throttle valve in the delivery line To avoid the influence of additional noise from the throttle valve, e.g encapsulate the valve or locate it far from the measurement points The conveying system shall be operated with water Noise test of spiral pumps shall also be with water, but the drive unit of the dosing equipment for dry material shall be switched off C.4.3 Period of observation The period of observation at each microphone position shall at least be 15 s C.5 Information to be recorded during the test The information to be recorded shall be in accordance with EN ISO 3744:2010 and EN ISO 11201:2010 or EN ISO 11204:2010 C.6 Information to be reported The test report shall be in accordance with EN ISO 3744:2010 and EN ISO 11201:2010 or EN ISO 11204:2010 C.7 Declaration and verification of noise emission values The noise declaration shall contain the following information: a) b) For remote-controlled machines: 1) highest of the A-weighted emission sound pressure levels at the workstations defined in C.3.2.1; 2) position where the highest A-weighted emission sound pressure level has been obtained; For other machines: 1) c) the A-weighted emission sound pressure levels at the workstations specified in C.3.2.2; For all machines: 1) the A-weighted sound power level For concrete pumps, the shape of the measurement surface used shall be indicated; 2) for both the emission sound pressure level and sound power level, the declared values shall have the format of a single-number declaration as defined in EN ISO 4871:2009, i.e the measured value and the associated uncertainty are added up to form one single value (see C.2 and C.3); 3) description of the operating point (pressure and volume flow) during measurement (see C.4.2); 4) the reference to this noise test code and the indication of the B-standards for measurement that have been used (i.e EN ISO 11201:2010 with grade or EN ISO 11204:2010, and EN ISO 3744:2010) Any 59 BS EN 12001:2012 EN 12001:2012 (E) deviations from this noise test code or the B-standards used shall be described and the reasons for such deviations shall be indicated If undertaken, the verification shall be conducted by using the same mounting and operating conditions as those used for the initial determination of noise emission values 60 BS EN 12001:2012 EN 12001:2012 (E) Annex D (normative) Remote control – Function allocation Lifting and lowering the last concrete-placing boom sections before the end hose Key last section
