This standard applies to snow grooming equipment as defined in 3.1 and its use with attachments as described in 3.2. With the exception of rear-mounted snow tillers and front blade attachments, this standard does not deal with the specific hazards of the attachments themselves. This standard is not applicable to snowmobiles.

This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to snow grooming equipment, when it is used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). It also deals with hazards during commissioning, use, fault-finding and maintenance. This standard is not applicable to snow grooming equipment manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN. NOTE For travelling on public roads, national traffic regulations apply until harmonised requirements are available.
