EN 14018:2005

Agricultural and forestry machinery - Seed drills - Safety

This European Standard, applied together with EN 1553, specifies the safety requirements and their verification for design and construction of mounted, semi-mounted, trailed or self-propelled seed drills, including the seeding function of combined seed and fertilizer drills, used in agriculture and in forestry. In addition, this European Standard specifies the type of information on safe working practices (including residual risks) to be provided by the manufacturer.
When requirements of this European Standard are different from those which are stated in EN 1553 the requirements of this European Standard take precedence over the requirements of EN 1553 for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this European Standard.
It does not apply to:
   fertilizer distributors designed only for solid fertilizer application (dealt with in prEN 14017);
   seed drills with integrated and inseparable powered soil working tools (see 3.2).
NOTE   Powered soil working tools are dealt with in EN 708:1996 and EN 708:1996/A1:2000.
This European Standard deals with all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to seed drills, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4), excepting the hazards arising from:
   electrostatic phenomena;
   external influences on electrical equipment;
   failure of energy supply;
   failure, malfunction of control system;
   inadequate visibility from drivers/operators position;
   travelling functions (drive, braking etc.);
   break-up of parts rotating at high speed;
   equipment for loading seeds (and fertilizer).
It is not applicable to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) nor to environmental hazards (except noise). These aspects are covered by EN 13740-1:2003 and EN 13740-2:2003 for combined seed and solid fertilizer drills.
This European Standard is not applicable to seed drills which are manufactured before the date of its publication.

Land- und Forstmaschinen - Sämaschinen - Sicherheit

Matériel agricole et forestier - Semoirs - Sécurité

La présente Norme européenne, appliquée conjointement avec l’EN 1553:1999, détermine les prescriptions de sécurité et leur mode de vérification au niveau de la conception et de la construction des semoirs portés, semi-portés, traînés ou automoteurs, y compris concernant la fonction des semoirs combinés utilisés en agriculture et en sylviculture. En outre, la présente Norme européenne spécifie le type d'informations que le fabricant doit fournir sur les pratiques d'utilisation sûre (incluant les risques résiduels).
Lorsque des dispositions de la présente Norme européenne sont différentes de celles mentionnées dans l'EN 1553:1999, les dispositions de la présente Norme européenne prennent le pas sur les dispositions de l'EN 1553:1999, pour les machines qui ont été conçues et fabriquées suivant les dispositions de la présente Norme européenne.
Elle ne s'applique pas :
   aux distributeurs d'engrais destinés uniquement à l'application d'engrais solides (faisant l'objet de l’EN 14017) ;
   aux semoirs avec outils de travail du sol animés, intégrés et indissociables (voir 3.2).
NOTE   Les outils de travail du sol animés sont traités dans l’EN 708:1996 et l’EN 708:1996/A1:2000.
La présente Norme européenne traite de tous les phénomènes dangereux, situations dangereuses et événements dangereux relatifs aux semoirs, dans le cadre de l’utilisation prévue et dans les conditions prévues par le fabricant (voir Article 4), à l’exception des phénomènes dangereux liés :
à des phénomènes électrostatiques ;
à des influences extérieures sur l’équipement électrique ;
à une défaillance de l’alimentation en énergie ;
à des défaillances ou dysfonctionnements du circuit de commande ;
à une mauvaise visibilité du poste du conducteur/ de l’opérateur ;
aux fonctions de déplacement (conduite, freinage, etc.) ;
à la rupture de pièces en rotation à grande vitesse ;
aux dispositifs de chargement des semences (et engrais).
