Soil Working and Mowing Standards for Agricultural Machinery
Soil Working and Mowing Standards for agricultural machinery deal with acceptance criteria for physical specifics and test methods. Rotary (disc and drum) and flail mowers are covered, as well as equipment used for sowing, planting, and otherwise working the soil.
ISO 17101-1:2012
Agricultural machinery - Thrown-object test and acceptance criteria - Part 1: Rotary mowers
ISO 17101-1:2012 gives specifications and acceptance criteria for thrown-object testing of rotary mowers used in agriculture. Examples of machines are shown. It is not applicable to the following: flail mowers; mowers with an articulated arm; mowers with one or more vertical axis designed for mulching; pedestrian-controlled motor mowers; lawn mowers or machines designed as lawn mowers; inter-row mowing units; machines designed for highway and road maintenance only.
ISO 17101-2:2012
Agricultural machinery - Thrown-object test and acceptance criteria - Part 2: Flail mowers
ISO 17101-2:2012 gives specifications and acceptance criteria for the thrown-object testing of flail mowers used in agriculture. Examples of machines are shown. It is not applicable to the following: large rotary mowers; rotary mowers; mowers with an articulated arm; mowers with one or more vertical axis designed for mulching; pedestrian controlled motor mowers; lawn mowers or machines designed as lawn mowers; inter-row mowing units; machines designed for highway and road maintenance only; flail mowers that have the rear part which can be opened for particular field use operations (e.g. row-crop mowers).
ISO 17103:2009
Agricultural machinery - Rotary disc mowers, rotary drum mowers and flail mowers - Test methods and acceptance criteria for protective skirts
ISO 17103:2009 specifies requirements and acceptance criteria for testing the protective skirts of rotary disc mowers, rotary drum mowers and flail mowers used in agriculture.
ISO 5678:1993
Agricultural machinery - Equipment for working the soil - S-tines: main dimensions and clearance zones
Specifies the main dimensions and clearance zones for harrow and cultivator S-tines, type 0 to 3.
ISO 6720:1989
Agricultural machinery - Equipment for sowing, planting, distributing fertilizers and spraying - Recommended working widths
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (1981). Specifies the working widths for equipment as a guideline for the manufacturers and users of these machines. Establishes a comllementary between the machines for sowing and planting (first operation) and the machines for subsequent operation. Tabulates the recommended working widths.
ISO 8947:1993
Agricultural machinery - Equipment for working the soil - S-tines: test method
The aim of the test (bending in direction of travel, lateral bending, variation in working depth and in soil penetration angle, permanent deformation, fatigue) is to give reproducible results to compare the quality of S-tines. Applies to S-tines as specified in ISO 5678; the test method can also be used to test other similar products.
ISO 4254-7:2008
Agricultural machinery - Safety - Part 7: Combine harvesters, forage harvesters and cotton harvesters
ISO 4254-7:2008, intended to be used together with ISO 4254-1, specifies the safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of combine harvesters, forage harvesters and cotton harvesters. It describes methods for the elimination or reduction of hazards arising from the intended use of these machines by one person (the operator) in the course of normal operation and service. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the manufacturer.
Taken together with ISO 4254-1, ISO 4254-7:2008 deals with all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to combine harvesters, forage harvesters and cotton harvesters, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer. It is not applicable to hazards arising from the presence of persons other than the operator, cleaning of the grain tank, and hazards related to vibrations and moving parts for power transmission, except for strength requirements for guards and barriers. In respect of braking and steering, it is applicable only to the ergonomic aspects (e.g. location of brake pedal and steering wheel); no other aspects related to braking and steering are covered. In the case of trailed harvesters, it is applicable only to hazards related to the working process.
ISO 4254-7:2017
Agricultural machinery - Safety - Part 7: Combine harvesters, forage harvesters, cotton harvesters and sugar cane harvesters
ISO 4254-7:2017, when used together with ISO 4254‑1, specifies the safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of combine harvesters, forage harvesters, cotton harvesters and sugar cane harvesters. It describes methods for the elimination or reduction of hazards arising from the intended use of these machines by one person (the operator) in the course of normal operation and service. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the manufacturer.
When provisions of ISO 4254-7:2017 are different from those which are stated in ISO 4254‑1, the provisions of ISO 4254-7:2017 take precedence over the provisions of ISO 4254‑1 for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of ISO 4254-7:2017.
ISO 4254-7:2017, taken together with ISO 4254‑1, deals with all the significant hazards (as listed in Table A.1), hazardous situations and events relevant to combine harvesters, forage harvesters, cotton harvesters and sugar cane harvesters, when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse that are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex A). It is not applicable to hazards arising from the presence of persons other than the operator, cleaning of the grain tank, and hazards related to vibrations and moving parts for power transmission, except for strength requirements for guards and barriers. In respect of braking and steering, it is applicable only to the ergonomic aspects (e.g. location of brake pedal and steering wheel); no other aspects related to braking and steering are covered. In the case of trailed harvesters, it is applicable only to hazards related to the working process.
Design requirements for roll-over protective structures (if applicable) are not specified in ISO 4254-7:2017.
Performance levels (or categories) for safety-related parts of control systems in accordance with ISO 25119 or ISO 13849 are not given in ISO 4254-7:2017.
NOTE Specific requirements related to road traffic regulations are not taken into account in ISO 4254-7:2017.
ISO 4254-7:2017 is not applicable to machines manufactured before the date of its publication.
