ISO 19296:2018 PDF Download

ISO 19296:2018 is a standard that specifies the safety requirements for self-propelled mobile machines used in underground mining. It focuses on the hazards, hazardous situations, and hazardous events that may occur during the use of these machines. The standard covers both intended use and conditions of foreseeable misuse as determined by the manufacturer.

The standard specifically addresses the mobility of utility/service/support machines used in underground mining, including risks associated with the movement of the machine. However, it does not cover the risks associated with additional functions such as scaling, concrete spraying, bolting, charging, drilling, or attachments.

ISO 19296:2018 outlines the technical measures required to eliminate or sufficiently reduce risks during the commissioning, operation, and maintenance of these machines. It does not address the additional hazards associated with machines operating in potentially explosive atmospheres, or aspects related to air quality and engine emissions.

It is important to note that the standard does not apply to machines that operate on rails, or specific types of mining equipment such as continuous miners, roadheaders, drill rigs, conveyors, long wall production equipment, tunnel boring machines (TBM), and mobile crushers.
