ÖNORM EN ISO 4254-20

This document, when used together with ISO 4254-1:2013 and ISO 4254-1:2013/AMD1:2021, specifies the safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of trailed and self-propelled harvesters for grapes, olives and coffee. 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 this document are different from those which are stated in ISO 4254-1:2013 and ISO 4254-1:2013/AMD1:2021, the provisions of this document take precedence over the provisions of ISO 4254-1:2013 and ISO 4254-1:2013/AMD1:2021 for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this document. This document, taken together with ISO 4254-1:2013 and ISO 4254-1:2013/AMD1:2021, deals with all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to trailed and self-propelled harvesters for grapes, olives and coffee, when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse that are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. It is not applicable to hazards arising from the presence of persons other than the operator, hazards related to lack of visibility, except lighting, hazards related to vibrations and moving parts for power transmission, except for strength requirements for guards and barriers. This document does not deal with environmental hazards, except noise. In respect of steering of self-propelled machines, it is applicable only to the ergonomic aspects (for example, location of the steering wheel); no other aspects related to steering are covered. NOTE            Specific requirements related to road traffic regulations are not taken into account in this document. This document is not applicable to machines manufactured before the date of its publication.
