This standard deals with safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of common aspects of all kinds of agricultural self-propelled ride-on machines and mounted, semi-mounted or trailed machines, with the exclusion of tractors (as defined in article 1 (1) of Council Directive 74/150/EEC), agricultural aircraft and air cushion vehicles.

Landmaschinen - Sicherheit - Teil 1: Generelle Anforderungen (ISO 4254-1:2005)

Dieser Teil von ISO 4254 enthält generelle sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und deren Überprüfung für die Gestaltung und Konstruktion von selbstfahrenden Landmaschinen mit Fahrersitz und angebauten, aufgesattelten oder gezogenen Landmaschinen, die in der Landwirtschaft eingesetzt werden. Zusätzlich legt er fest, welche Informationen zum sicheren Betrieb (einschließlich Restgefahren) vom Hersteller zur Verfügung zu stellen sind.
Dieser Teil von ISO 4254 behandelt signifikante Gefährdungen (siehe Anhang A), Gefährdungssituationen und Gefährdungsereignisse, die für diese Landmaschinen, die bestimmungsgemäß und unter den vom Hersteller vorgesehenen Bedingungen eingesetzt werden (siehe Abschnitt 4), relevant sind. Zur Erreichung der Übereinstimmung mit Europäischen Richtlinien muss Anhang C zusätzlich angewendet werden.
Dieser Teil von ISO 4254 findet keine Anwendung auf:
-   Traktoren,
-   Luftfahrzeuge,
-   Luftkissenfahrzeuge oder
-   Rasen- und Gartengeräte.
Dieser Teil von ISO 4254 gilt nicht für Gefährdungen in Hinblick auf die Umwelt, den Straßenverkehr, die elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit, Schwingungen oder Gelenkwellen-Schutzeinrichtungen zwischen selbstfahrenden Maschinen/Traktoren und dem ersten feste Lager der angetriebenen Maschine. Er gilt nicht für Gefährdungen in Verbindung mit Service-, Wartungs- oder Reparaturarbeiten, die von professionellen Fachkräften durchgeführt werden.
ANMERKUNG      ISO 14982 enthält Prüfverfahren und Bewertungskriterien hinsichtlich der elektromagnetischen Verträglichkeit aller Bauarten von beweglichen Landmaschinen.
Dieser Teil von ISO 4254 gilt nicht für Maschinen, die vor dem Veröffentlichungsdatum hergestellt wurden.
Alle in diesem Teil von ISO 4254 behandelten Gefährdungen sind nicht notwendigerweise an einer spezifische Maschine vorhanden.
