Standards Development

Scope

This document specifies the common safety requirements for drilling and foundation equipment.

This document deals with the significant hazards (see Annex F) common to drilling and foundation equipment (see ISO 11886:____)[1], , when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer associated with the whole life time of the machine (transport, assembly, dismantling, equipment in service and out of service, maintenance, moving on site, storage, disabling and scrapping).

NOTE 1 The requirements specified in this part of the standard are common to two or more families of drilling and foundation equipment.

This document gives common safety requirements for drilling and foundation equipment and is intended to be used in conjunction with relevant parts of this series (Part 2 thru Part 6). These machine specific parts do not repeat the requirements from part 1 but supplement or modify the requirements for the type of drilling and foundation equipment in question.

For multipurpose machinery, the parts of the standard that cover the specific functions and applications are used, e.g. a drilling machine also used as a piling machine will use the relevant requirements of ISO 20770-1 to -6.

The following machines are excluded from the scope of this standard:

— autonomous or semi-autonomous (as defined in ISO 17757:2019) drilling and foundation equipment;

— tunnelling machines, unshielded tunnel boring machines and rodless shaft boring machines for rock according to EN 16191;

— raise boring machines;

— drill rigs used in oil and gas industry ;

— specialized mining machinery and equipment for opencast mining (e.g. rock drill rigs, blast hole drills) (under the scope of ISO/TC 82);

— all underground mining machinery and equipment for the extraction of solid mineral substances (e.g. rock drill rigs, raise boring machines, shaft boring machines, mining auger boring machines, jumbos) as well as machinery and equipment for underground mine development (under the scope of ISO/TC 82);— core drilling machines on stand (covered by EN 12348);

— hand-held machines (in particular machines covered by ISO 11148‑5);

— horizontal directional drilling machines (HDD) as defined in ISO 21467).

NOTE 2 ISO 23224 (in preparation) deals with the significant hazards for horizontal directional drilling (HDD) machines.

NOTE 3 Specific requirements for offshore applications are not covered by this document.

Where a drilling and foundation machine of fixed configuration that is not intended to be separated is assembled using a carrier machine based on earth-moving equipment, agricultural equipment, or crane, then the completed assembly is covered by this document.

Drilling and foundation machinery within the scope of ISO 20770 parts 1 to 5 may include interchangeable auxiliary equipment within the scope of ISO 20770-6, either as an integral part of its construction or as interchangeably fitted equipment.

Hazards due to:

— self-learning systems;

— cybersecurity;

— corruption due to machines which are connected to the internet or an external network;

— potentially explosive atmosphere, or lightning;

— high-voltage batteries integrated in the power source systemare not covered by this document.

This document is not applicable to drilling and foundation equipment manufactured before the date of its publication.
