Agricultural machinery and tractors - Safety of partially automated, semi-autonomous and autonomous machinery - Part 3: Autonomous operating zones (ISO 18497-3:2024)
This document specifies principles for the design of agricultural machinery and tractors utilizing systems (perception, supervisory or other) to prevent unintended excursions beyond the boundary of the autonomous operating zone which are used in agricultural applications and that have partially automated, semi-autonomous and autonomous functions. Additionally, it provides guidance on the type of information to be provided by the manufacturer on safe working practices (including information about residual risks).
The autonomous operating zone itself is not within the scope of this document. The autonomous operating zone can include, for example, considerations for the autonomous operating zone location, physical or virtual boundaries, physical boundary types (natural or man-made) and the associated risks with the systems (perception, supervisory or other) to prevent unintended excursions beyond the boundary of the autonomous operating zone design.
The purpose of this document is to assist in the provision of more specific safety requirements, means of verification and information for use to ensure an appropriate level of safety for agricultural machinery and tractors with partially automated, semi-autonomous and autonomous functions used in a specified way.
This document deals with the significant hazards relevant to agricultural machinery and tractors with partially automated, semi-autonomous and autonomous functions when used as intended and under the conditions of misuse reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer during normal operation and service.
Applicability of the design principles and any additional detailed requirements for design, verification, validation or information for use are outside the scope of this document. When risk assessment concludes that hazards are not significant hazards, the principles of this document do not apply.
NOTE Safety requirements for specific non-automated functions of agricultural machinery and tractors can be available in machine-specific type-C standards.
This document is not applicable to:
— forestry applications;
— operations on public roads including relevant requirements for braking and steering systems.
This document is not applicable to agricultural machinery and tractors which are manufactured before the date of its publication, or to systems applied to agricultural machinery and tractors put into use before the date of its publication.

Overview - EN ISO 18497-3:2024 (Autonomous operating zones)
EN ISO 18497-3:2024, published by CEN/ISO, provides design principles and manufacturer guidance for agricultural machinery and tractors with partially automated, semi‑autonomous or fully autonomous functions that operate within an autonomous operating zone. The document focuses on systems (for example, perception and supervisory systems) intended to prevent unintended excursions beyond the autonomous operating zone boundary, and on the information manufacturers must supply about safe working practices and residual risks. The autonomous operating zone itself (its siting or definition) is not prescriptively defined by this part, but the standard addresses related considerations and associated risks.
Key topics and technical focus
- Principles for preventing boundary excursions: guidance for perception, supervisory and related systems used to keep machinery within defined autonomous operating zones.
- Manufacturer information: recommended content for user instructions, safe working practices and disclosure of residual risks.
- Hazard scope: addresses significant hazards that are reasonably foreseeable during intended use and foreseeable misuse; if hazards are judged non‑significant by risk assessment, the principles do not apply.
- Scope limitations: not applicable to forestry, public‑road operations (including braking/steering requirements), or machines manufactured/placed in service before publication.
- Relationship to verification & design details: this part provides high‑level principles; detailed design, verification, validation or prescriptive technical requirements are outside its scope (see related parts for those topics).
- Regulatory alignment: includes an informative Annex ZA linking the standard to Directive 2006/42/EC (machinery directive) for EU conformity considerations.
Practical applications - who uses this standard
- Manufacturers and system integrators designing perception, supervisory and control solutions to prevent zone breaches.
- Safety engineers and risk assessors evaluating hazards and defining necessary information for safe operation.
- Product certification bodies and regulators assessing conformity with machinery safety requirements.
- Farm operators and fleet managers seeking manufacturer guidance on safe working practices for autonomous deployments.
- Standards developers and researchers aligning machine safety strategies with industry best practice.

This focus on intended use and foreseeable misuse scenarios is vital for promoting responsible machinery operation on farms. Moreover, the standard effectively delineates its limitations regarding applicability, which includes exclusions for forestry applications and operations on public roads. This specificity offers clarity to manufacturers and operators, ensuring they do not misapply the guidance, which contributes to enhanced safety compliance. In summary, the SIST EN ISO 18497-3:2024 standard stands out for its clarity, focus, and practical guidance in the context of agricultural machinery and safety in autonomous operations, ultimately fortifying the safety landscape for modern farming technology.
Die Standardisierung DIN SIST EN ISO 18497-3:2024 legt wichtige Prinzipien für den Entwurf von landwirtschaftlichen Maschinen und Traktoren fest, die über teilweise automatisierte, semi-autonome und autonome Funktionen verfügen. Der Fokus liegt auf der Sicherheit innerhalb autonomer Betriebszonen, wobei das Ziel darin besteht, unbeabsichtigte Überschreitungen der Grenzen dieser Zonen zu verhindern. Die Bereitstellung solcher sicherheitsrelevanten Informationen ist von wesentlicher Bedeutung, um geeignete Sicherheitsniveaus für die Nutzenden zu garantieren. Ein wesentlicher Stärke dieses Standards ist die Verbindung von technologischen Anforderungen mit praktischen Sicherheitsaspekten. Besonders die Definition von Systemen zur Wahrnehmung und Überwachung ist entscheidend, da sie präventiv gegen Risiken in der Landwirtschaft wirkt. Der Standard geht davon aus, dass landwirtschaftliche Maschinen und Traktoren dem vorgesehenen Gebrauch unterliegen und beschäftigt sich daher mit signifikanten Gefahren, die während des normalen Betriebs und bei vorhersehbaren Fehlbedienungen auftreten können. Die Relevanz des Standards ergibt sich aus der Notwendigkeit, spezifische Sicherheitsanforderungen zu formulieren und Verifizierungsmethoden festzulegen, die sicherstellen, dass Maschinen, die in der Landwirtschaft eingesetzt werden, hohe Sicherheitsstandards erfüllen. Dies ist gerade in einem Sektor wichtig, der zunehmend von Automatisierung und innovativen Technologien geprägt ist. Ein weiterer positiver Aspekt ist, dass wichtige Informationen zu restlichen Risiken für die Benutzer bereitgestellt werden, was zur Sensibilisierung und zur Förderung sicherer Arbeitspraktiken beiträgt. Allerdings wird darauf hingewiesen, dass der Standard nicht auf Maschinen vor dem Veröffentlichungsdatum oder auf spezifische Funktionen ohne Automatisierung anwendbar ist, was seine Klarheit und Fokussierung unterstreicht. Zusammenfassend ist DIN SIST EN ISO 18497-3:2024 ein bedeutender Schritt zur Harmonisierung der Sicherheitsanforderungen in der landwirtschaftlichen Technik, da er sowohl theoretische als auch praktische Aspekte berücksichtigt und somit zu einer erhöhten Sicherheit und Effizienz im landwirtschaftlichen Sektor beiträgt.

Parmi les forces de cette norme, on remarque sa capacité à fournir des principes directeurs qui facilitent l'élaboration de exigences de sécurité spécifiques. En abordant des sujets critiques tels que la localisation de la zone d'exploitation autonome et les types de frontières physiques, naturelles ou artificielles, elle permet aux fabricants de mieux comprendre les risques associés et d'assurer une sécurité adéquate. Cela est particulièrement pertinent dans un contexte où la technologie croissante des machines agricoles nécessite un cadre de sécurité rigoureux. La norme souligne également l'importance de fournir des informations claires sur les bonnes pratiques de travail, y compris la gestion des risques résiduels, renforçant ainsi la responsabilité des fabricants face à la sécurité des utilisateurs. Toutefois, elle précise que certains aspects, comme les exigences de conception pour des fonctions non automatisées spécifiques, relèvent d'autres normes de type C, ce qui témoigne de la nécessité d'une approche intégrée dans la réglementation de la sécurité des machines agricoles. En limitant son champ d'application aux machines conçues après sa publication et en excluant des applications spécifiques comme les opérations forestières et les interventions sur routes publiques, la norme évite toute ambiguïté et clarifie son contexte d’utilisation. Cela renforce sa pertinence pour les acteurs du secteur qui cherchent des directives claires et actuelles dans la conception et l'utilisation de machines agricoles avancées. En résumé, la SIST EN ISO 18497-3:2024 se révèle être une norme incontournable pour assurer la sécurité des machines agricoles autonomes. Sa portée bien définie, ses principes de conception robustes et son accent sur l'information sur les pratiques de sécurité en font un outil précieux pour les fabricants et les opérateurs des machines agricoles modernes.
