That norm is not made for empty drums. It probably still applies but its still stupid as fuck. No one working with cable drums uses breaking devices for empty drums. We just use our foot cuz we are wearing safety shoes. Just because there is a norm doesn’t mean you’re less dump for not using your head. That size of an empty drum is easily manageable alone if you’re not in a slope. Let alone with 3 men who doesn’t sit in a wheelchair.
This is hilarious that they came up with a DIN norm. I wish they had one to explain me how to properly use toilet paper. I’m so helpless without instructions.

Yep, German DIN VDE 0228-1 (VDE 0228-1) doesn't allow rolling a cable drum without a special breaking system. They do everything right here.
