AS 14990.1:2022 PDF

AS 14990.1:2022 adopts ISO 14990 1:2016 with modifications, which specifies general safety requirements for the electrical equipment incorporated into earth-moving machines (EMMs), and addresses the safety of operators, technicians, service/maintenance personnel and bystanders.

It is intended to be used in conjunction with AS ISO 14990.2:2022 and AS ISO 14990.3:2022, which give provisions specific to the machine’s power source that take precedence over the requirements of this document for the machines covered. For multipurpose machinery, all those parts of AS 14990 are applicable whose requirements cover the functions and applications of the machine.

This document does not address risks associated with explosive atmospheres, which are sometimes found in mining and other EMM applications. It is not applicable to machines manufactured before the date of its publication.

This document is an adoption with national modifications, and has been reproduced from, ISO 14990-1:2016, Earth-moving machinery — Electrical safety of machines utilizing electric drives and related components and systems — Part 1: General requirements. The modifications are additional requirements and are set out in Appendix ZZ, which has been added at the end of the source text.
