Agricultural machinery - Silage loading, mixing and/or chopping and distributing machines - Safety
This document, used together with EN 1553, specifies the safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of mounted, semi-mounted, trailed or self-propelled machines that have a combination of two or more of the following functions: loading, mixing, chopping and distributing silage and/or other feedstuffs, to be used by one operator only. It includes those fitted with a built-in loading crane. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices (including residual risks) to be provided by the manufacturer.
This document applies only to machines that have the following functional combinations:
- mixing and distributing functions; or
- mixing, chopping and distributing functions; or
- loading, mixing and distributing functions; or
- loading, mixing, chopping and distributing functions; or
- chopping and distributing functions; or
- loading, chopping and distributing functions.
Silage block cutters, even if they carry out a single function, are covered by this document.
It does not apply:
- to machines which pick up green fodder directly from the field;
- to loading cranes;
- to silage buckets.
NOTE 1 Loading cranes are dealt with in EN 12999.
NOTE 2 Silage buckets will be dealt through an amendment or during next revision.
This document deals with all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to machines for loading, mixing and/or chopping and distributing silage and/or other feedstuffs, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer as listed in clause 4, except for the hazards arising from:
- failure of the control circuit;
- inadequate seating;
- inadequate lighting;
- impossibility of stopping the machine in the best possible conditions;
- travelling of machinery;
- break-up of parts rotating at high speed.
It is not applicable to environmental hazards (except noise).

matières d'alimentation, destinées à être utilisées par un seul opérateur. Elle comprend celles équipées d'une grue
de chargement. En outre, elle spécifie le type d’informations sur les pratiques de travail (y compris les risques
résiduels) que doit fournir le !fabricant".
Le présent document s'applique uniquement aux machines qui ont une combinaison des fonctions suivantes :
les fonctions de mélange et de distribution ; ou
les fonctions de mélange, hachage et distribution ; ou
!les fonctions de chargement, mélange et distribution ; ou"
les fonctions de chargement, mélange, hachage et distribution ; ou
les fonctions de hachage et de distribution ; ou
les fonctions de chargement, de hachage et de distribution.
Les désileuses bloc, même si elles n’effectuent qu’une seule fonction, sont couvertes par le présent document.
Il ne s'applique pas :
aux machines qui ramassent directement dans le champ ;
aux grues de chargement ;
aux godets désileurs.
NOTE 1 Les grues de chargement sont traitées dans l’EN 12999.
NOTE 2 Les godets désileurs seront traités par un amendement ou lors de la prochaine révision.
Le présent document traite de tous les phénomènes dangereux, des situations et des événements dangereux
significatifs applicables aux machines pour le chargement, le mélange et/ou le hachage et la distribution d’ensilage
et/ou d’autres matières d’alimentation, quand elles sont utilisées tel que prévu et sous les conditions prévues par le
fabricant telles que énumérées dans l’Article 4, à l’exception des phénomènes dangereux engendrés par :
une défaillance !du circuit de commande"

0 Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this document. These hazards are specific to machines for loading (including silage
