ÖNORM EN 18265

This document specifies the safety requirements and associated means of verification for the design and construction of mounted, trailed and self-propelled machines for harvesting and conditioning flax. Examples of machinery and their components are given in Annex A. This document is not applicable to: — stationary flax machinery. — autonomous mobile flax machinery. NOTE 1 ‘Autonomous mobile machinery’ means mobile machinery which has an autonomous mode, in which all the essential safety functions of the mobile machinery are ensured in its travel and working operations area without permanent interaction of an operator. This document, applied in conjunction with EN ISO 4254-1:2015 deals with all the significant hazards (as listed in Table B.1), hazardous situations and events relevant to machines for harvesting and conditioning flax, when they are used by one person as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Annex B), except: — machinery with intended fully or partially self-evolving behaviour or logic. NOTE 2 Specific requirements related to road traffic regulations (e.g. steering, braking, lighting, coupling) are not taken into account in this document. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices including information about residual risks to be provided by the manufacturer. For machinery mounted on or trailed by a tractor, this document does not address the requirements related to noise measurement nor declaration. This document does not apply to machinery for harvesting and conditioning flax manufactured before the date of publication.
