EN ISO 4254-7:2009

Agricultural machinery - Safety - Part 7: Combine harvesters, forage harvesters and cotton harvesters (ISO 4254-7:2008)

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.

Landmaschinen - Sicherheit - Teil 7: Mähdrescher, Feldhäcksler und Baumwollerntemaschinen (ISO 4254-7:2008)

Dieser Teil von ISO 4254, der zusammen mit ISO 4254-1 anzuwenden ist, enthält sicherheitstechnische
Anforderungen und deren Überprüfung für die Gestaltung und Konstruktion von Mähdreschern, Feldhäckslern
und Bauwollerntemaschinen. Sie beschreibt Maßnahmen zur Vermeidung oder Verminderung von
Gefährdungen, die sich aus der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung dieser Maschinen durch eine Person (die
Bedienungsperson) im Rahmen des normalen Betriebes und der Wartung ergeben. Zusätzlich legt sie fest,
welche Informationen über sicheres Arbeiten vom Hersteller zur Verfügung zu stellen sind.
Wenn Bestimmungen dieses Teils von ISO 4254 von den in ISO 4254-1 festgelegten Bestimmungen
abweichen, haben die Bestimmungen von diesem Teil von ISO 4254 Vorrang gegenüber den Bestimmungen
von ISO 4254-1 für Maschinen, die nach den Bestimmungen von diesem Teil von ISO 4254 konstruiert und
gebaut sind.
Dieser Teil von ISO 4254 zusammen mit ISO 4254-1 behandelt alle signifikanten Gefährdungen (wie in
Tabelle 1 aufgeführt), Gefährdungssituationen und -ereignisse von Mähdreschern, Feldhäckslern und
Baumwollerntemaschinen, wenn sie bestimmungsgemäß und unter den vom Hersteller vorgesehenen
Bedingungen verwendet werden (siehe Abschnitt 4). Er gilt nicht für Gefährdungen durch die Anwesenheit
von andren Personen als der Bedienungsperson, Reinigung des Korntank und Gefährdungen in Bezug auf
Schwingungen und bewegte Teile der Kraftübertragung, ausgenommen Festigkeitsanforderungen an
Schutzeinrichtungen und Abweisbügel. In Bezug auf Bremsen und Lenkung gilt sie nur für die ergonomischen
Aspekte (z. B. Anordnung von Bremspedal und Lenkrad); weitere Aspekte in Bezug auf Bremsen und
Lenkung sind nicht abgedeckt. Für gezogene Erntemaschinen gilt sie nur für Gefährdungen im Zusammenhang
mit dem Arbeitsverfahren.
ANMERKUNG Besondere Anforderungen in Bezug auf Straßenverkehrsvorschriften werden in diesem Teil von
ISO 4254 nicht berücksichtigt.

Matériel agricole - Sécurité - Partie 7: Moissonneuses-batteuses, récolteuses-hacheuses-chargeuses de fourrage et récolteuses de coton (ISO 4254-7:2008)

L'ISO 4254-7:2008, utilisée conjointement avec l'ISO 4254-1, spécifie les exigences de sécurité et les vérifications s'appliquant à la conception et à la construction des moissonneuses-batteuses, récolteuses‑hacheuses‑chargeuses de fourrage et récolteuses de coton. Elle décrit les méthodes pour l'élimination ou la réduction des phénomènes dangereux provenant de l'utilisation normale de ces machines par une personne (opérateur) durant leur fonctionnement normal et leur entretien. En outre, elle spécifie le type d'informations que le fabricant doit fournir sur les pratiques d'utilisation sûre.
L'ISO 4254-7:2008, ainsi que l'ISO 4254-1, traite de tous les phénomènes dangereux applicables, situations dangereuses et événements dangereux propres aux moissonneuses-batteuses, récolteuses-hacheuses-chargeuses de fourrage et récolteuses de coton, lorsque ces dernières sont utilisées normalement et dans les conditions prévues par le fabricant. Elle n'est pas applicable aux dangers engendrés par la présence de personnes autres que l'opérateur et par le nettoyage de la trémie à grains, ni aux dangers associés aux vibrations et aux éléments mobiles de transmission de puissance, exception faite des exigences de résistance des protecteurs et des barres d'éloignement. En ce qui concerne le freinage et la direction, seuls les aspects ergonomiques (par exemple emplacement des pédales de frein et du volant) sont couverts par l'ISO 4254-7:2008, tous les autres aspects relatifs au freinage et à la direction n'étant pas traités. Dans le cas des récolteuses-hacheuses-chargeuses de fourrage tractées, seuls les aspects liés aux procédés de travail sont couverts.

Kmetijski stroji - Varnost - 7. del: Kombajni, kombajni za spravljanje silaže in bombažni kombajni (ISO 4254-7:2008)

Ta del ISO 4254, ki je namenjen uporabi skupaj z ISO 4254-1, opredeljuje varnostne zahteve in njihovo preverjanje pri načrtovanju in izdelavi kombajnov, kombajnov za spravljanje silaže in bombažnih kombajnov. Opisuje metode za odpravo ali zmanjševanje nevarnosti, ki izvirajo iz predvidene uporabe teh strojev, kadar jih uporablja ena oseba (upravljavec) pri normalnem obratovanju in servisiranju. Poleg tega opredeljuje vrsto informacij glede varnih delovnih praks, ki jih mora zagotoviti proizvajalec. Kadar se določbe tega dela ISO 4254 razlikujejo od določb, navedenih v ISO 4254-1, imajo določbe tega dela ISO 4254 prednost pred določbami ISO 4254-1 za stroje, ki so bili načrtovani in izdelani v skladu z določbami tega dela ISO 4254. Ta del ISO 4254, skupaj z ISO 4254-1, obravnava vse velike nevarnosti (kot so naštete v Tabeli 1), nevarne situacije in primere, ki se nanašajo na kombajne, kombajne za spravljanje silaže in bombažne kombajne, pri uporabi v skladu z namembnostjo in pod pogoji, ki jih je predvidel proizvajalec (glej Klavzulo 4). Ne uporablja se za nevarnosti, ki nastanejo zaradi prisotnosti drugih oseb, kot je upravljavec, čiščenja cisterne za žito in nevarnosti, povezane z vibracijami in gibljivimi deli za prenos električne energije, razen za zahteve glede trdnosti za varovala in pregrade. Kar se tiče zaviranja in krmiljenja, se uporablja samo za ergonomske vidike (npr. lokacija stopalke zavore in volana); ne zajema nobenih drugih vidikov zaviranja in krmiljenja. V primeru vlečenih kombajnov se uporablja samo za nevarnosti, povezane z delovnim procesom.
