Tunnelling Machines - Air Locks - Safety Requirements
Also Known As:
The BS EN 12110:2014 standard outlines the safety requirements for the design, construction, equipping, marking, and testing of air locks used in tunnelling work. It also includes pressure bulkheads and oxygen breathing systems used for decompression during tunnelling operations.
The standard specifically applies to air locks and bulkheads manufactured after the publication date, providing guidelines for their design to ensure safety during use and foreseeable misuse. It addresses all significant hazards, hazardous situations, and events that may occur during operation.
However, it does not cover the supply of services to the air locks, nor does it address hazards related to vibration, noise, electromagnetic compatibility, or the mobility of the machinery. This standard is also applicable to other compressed air work in construction where air locks and bulkheads are utilized.
