Machinery for forestry - Safety requirements and testing for portable pole mounted powered pruners (ISO/FDIS 11680:2025)

This document specifies safety requirements, and measures for their verification, for the design and construction of portable pole-mounted powered pruners with internal combustion engine power sources (hereafter named “machine”), including extendable and telescopic machines. These machines use a power transmission shaft to transmit power to a cutting attachment consisting of a saw-chain and guide bar, a reciprocating saw blade or a single-piece circular saw blade with a 205 mm maximum outside diameter.
This document deals with significant hazards relevant to these machines when they are used as intended. This document does not address electrical shock from contact with overhead electric lines apart from warnings and instruction manual requirements, or whole-body vibration from back power units.
NOTE 1        See Annex A for a list of significant hazards.
This document is applicable to machines manufactured after its date of publication.
Brush cutters with a circular saw blade are not included in the scope of this document.
NOTE 2        Brush cutter requirements are outlined in ISO 11806-1 and ISO 11806-2.

Forstmaschinen - Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfung für motorbetriebene Hochentaster (ISO/FDIS 11680:2025)

Dieses Dokument legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Maßnahmen zur Feststellung deren Übereinstimmung für die Gestaltung und Konstruktion von tragbaren Hochentastern (nachfolgend „Maschine“ genannt) mit integriertem Verbrennungsmotor als Antrieb, einschließlich verlängerbarer und teleskopierbarer Maschinen, fest. Diese Maschinen verwenden eine Antriebswelle zur Übertragung der Energie auf die Schneidgarnitur, die aus einer Sägekette und Führungsschiene, einem sich hin und her bewegenden Sägeblatt oder einem Kreissägeblatt mit einem Außendurchmesser von höchstens 205 mm besteht.
Dieses Dokument behandelt alle signifikanten Gefährdungen für diese Maschinen, sofern sie zu dem vorgesehenen Zweck eingesetzt werden. Dieses Dokument behandelt nicht elektrischen Schlag durch Kontakt mit oberirdischen Stromleitungen, abgesehen von Warnhinweisen und Hinweisen in der Betriebsanleitung, oder von rückentragbaren Antriebseinheiten ausgehende Ganzkörperschwingungen.
ANMERKUNG 1   Siehe Anhang A zur Liste der signifikanten Gefährdungen.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar für Maschinen, die nach dessen Ausgabedatum hergestellt worden sind.
Freischneider mit einem Kreissägeblatt sind vom Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokuments nicht erfasst.
ANMERKUNG 2   Die Anforderungen für Freischneider werden in ISO 11806 1 und ISO 11806 2 beschrieben.

Matériel forestier - Exigences de sécurité et essais pour les perches élagueuses à moteur (ISO/FDIS 11680:2025)

Le présent document spécifie les exigences de sécurité et les mesures de vérification pour la conception et la construction des perches élagueuses portatives à moteur à combustion interne (ci-après dénommées «machine»), y compris les machines extensibles et télescopiques. Ces machines utilisent un arbre de transmission de puissance pour transmettre la puissance à un dispositif de coupe constitué d'une chaîne et d'une barre de guidage, d'une lame de scie alternative ou d'une lame de scie circulaire monobloc d'un diamètre extérieur maximal de 205 mm.
Le présent document traite des phénomènes dangereux significatifs pertinents pour ces machines lorsqu'elles sont utilisées comme prévu. Le présent document ne traite pas les chocs électriques engendrés par un contact avec des lignes électriques aériennes, en dehors des avertissements et des exigences du manuel d'instructions, ni les vibrations transmises à l'ensemble du corps par la source motrice portée à dos.
NOTE 1        Voir l'Annexe A pour la liste des phénomènes dangereux significatifs.
Le présent document s'applique aux machines fabriquées après sa date de publication.
Les débroussailleuses à lame de scie circulaire ne sont pas incluses dans le domaine d'application du présent document.
NOTE 2        Les exigences relatives aux débroussailleuses sont spécifiées dans l’ISO 11806-1 et l’ISO 11806-2.
