ASABE, the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, is a nonprofit organization that develops and publishes standards for engineering applicable to agriculture, food and other biological systems. Headquartered in St. Joseph, United States, ASABE has over 9,000 members, representing over 100 countries. Heavily involved in publishing, ASABE publishes journals and textbooks in addition to ASABE standards. ASABE also serves as the administrator for the U.S. TAGs (United States Technical Advisory Group) to ISO/TCs 23, 234 and 238 (International Organization for Standardization/Technical Committee) and to many of the subcommittees for ISO/TC 23. Standards from ASABE are available both individually, directly through the ANSI webstore, and as part of a Standards Subscription. If you or your organization are interested in easy, managed, online access to standards that can be shared, a Standards Subscription may be what you need - please contact us at: [email protected] or 1-212-642-4980 or Request Proposal Price.

The purpose of this Engineering Practice is to present a procedure for determining the adequacy of shallow, isolated post and pier foundations in resisting applied structural loads. This Engineering Practice will help ensure that soil and backfill are not overloaded, foundation elements have adequate strength, frost heave is minimized, and lateral movements are not excessive.
This Standard presents methods of predicting the grain pressures within centrally loaded and unloaded bins used to store free-flowing, agricultural whole grain.
This part of ANSI/ASABE S648 provides normative references, defines terms and definitions and establishes general test procedures for the performance of braking systems used on agricultural field equipment (as defined in ANSI/ASAE S390).
The purpose of this part of ANSI/ASABE S648, when used in conjunction with ANSI/ASABE S648-1, is to establish specific requirements, minimum performance criteria and performance test procedures that are common to agricultural tractors.
This part of ANSI/ASABE S648 establishes test procedures and performance requirements for braking of self-propelled machines (SPM) and special self-propelled machines (SSP). The requirements and minimum performance criteria are directed to operation and parking of agricultural equipment having a maximum design ground speed greater than 6 km/h (3.7 mile/h).
Establishes specifications that define a unique identification emblem, the Slow Moving Vehicle Emblem (SMV Emblem), to be used only for slow moving machines (vehicles), when operated or traveling on public roads.
This Standard provides specifications for lighting and marking of agricultural equipment whenever such equipment is operating or is traveling on a highway.
Establishes general principles for the design of safety labels and hazard pictorials permanently affixed to, or displayed electronically on, tractors, machinery for agriculture and forestry, and powered lawn and garden equipment. This document outlines safety label objectives, describes the basic safety label formats and colours, provides guidance on developing the various panels that together constitute a safety label, and includes safety label information with regard to operator’s manuals
This Engineering Practice is a consensus document for the analysis and design of metal-clad wood-frame buildings using roof and ceiling diaphragms, alone or in combination. The roof (and ceiling) diaphragms, endwalls, intermediate shearwalls, and building frames are the main structural elements of a structural system used to efficiently resist the design lateral (wind, seismic) loads. This Engineering Practice gives acceptable methods for analyzing and designing the elements of the diaphragm system.
This Standard is a guide to provide a reasonable degree of personal safety for operators and other persons during the normal operation and servicing of agricultural field equipment. This Standard does not apply to skid steer loaders, permanently installed grain dryers, and agricultural equipment covered by other safety standards, such as but not limited to permanently installed farmstead equipment, portable grain augers, and storage structures, except where specifically referenced by other standards.
