Overview

ISO 8910:1993 - Machinery and equipment for working the soil - Mouldboard plough working elements - Vocabulary - is an international vocabulary standard that defines terminology for the working elements and parts of agricultural mouldboard ploughs. Published in 1993 (second edition, technical revision of the 1987 edition), the document provides authoritative definitions in English, French and Russian, accompanied by illustrative figures and alphabetical indexes in all three languages.

Key Topics

This vocabulary standard focuses on clear, unambiguous naming of plough components and related working elements, including:

• Plough body types: digger (cylindrical), spiral, general-purpose (universal) bodies.
• Plough body parts: leg, frog, share, mouldboard (versoir), mouldboard shin, mouldboard wing, tailpiece, landside, landside heel.
• Auxiliary elements and coulters: trashboard, skim/jointer, disc coulter, knife coulter, blade coulter (share fin), roller landside (contra-sep).
• Share/soil-engaging types: razor (trapezoidal), duck-bill, bar-pointed, cheeked, changeable or reversible points (illustrated in figures).
• Multilingual presentation: parallel definitions in English/French/Russian and three-language alphabetical indexes for cross-reference.

Because ISO 8910 is a vocabulary standard, it does not specify performance, dimensions or test methods; instead it establishes consistent terminology for documentation, drawings, parts lists and communication between stakeholders.

Applications

ISO 8910:1993 is practical for anyone involved in the design, manufacture, specification, documentation and use of mouldboard ploughs, including:

• Plough and agricultural machinery manufacturers - for consistent parts naming in technical drawings and catalogs.
• Design engineers and product developers - to align terminology across teams and suppliers.
• Technical writers and translators - to ensure accurate multilingual manuals, service guides and spare-parts lists.
• Procurement and regulatory bodies - for unambiguous specification in purchase orders and standards references.
• Training and education - to standardize teaching materials and definitions in agronomy and farm machinery courses.

Using ISO 8910 helps reduce misunderstandings in international trade, aftermarket support and cross‑border technical collaboration.

Related Standards

• Prepared by ISO/TC 23 (Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry), Sub‑Committee SC 5 (Equipment for working the soil).
• ISO 8910:1993 updates and replaces ISO 8910:1987 (first edition).
  For broader technical requirements, users should consult other ISO standards addressing agricultural machinery performance, safety and testing.

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation
of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing Inter-
national Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees.
Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has
been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also
take part in the work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electro-
technical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated
to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard re-
quires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard IS0 8910 was prepared by Technical Committee
lSO/rC 23, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry, Sub-Committee
SC 5, Equipment for working the soil.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (IS0 8910:1987), of
which it constitutes a technical revision.

Avant-propos
L’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une federation mondiale
d’organismes nationaux de normalisation (comites membres de I’ISO). L’elabo-
ration des Normes internationales est en general confree aux comites techniques
de I’ISO. Chaque comite membre interesse par une etude a le droit de faire par-
tie du comite technique tree a cet effet. Les organisations internationales,
gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec I’ISO participent
egalement aux travaux. L’ISO collabore etroitement avec la Commission electro-
technique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation Blectrotech-
nique.
Les projets de Normes internationales adopt& par les comites techniques sont
soumis aux comites membres pour vote. Leur publication comme Normes inter-
nationales requiert l’approbation de 75 % au moins des comites membres vo-
tants.
La Norme internationale IS0 8910 a et6 elaboree par le comite technique
