Garden equipment - Pedestrian controlled lawn aerators and scarifiers - Safety
This European Standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of pedestrian controlled integrally powered lawn aerators and scarifiers which are designed for re-generating lawns by, for instance, combing out grass, thatch and moss or cutting vertically into the lawn face using tines which rotate about a horizontal axis. It describes methods of elimination or reduction of hazards arising from their use. In addition, it specifies the type of information to be provided by the manufacturer on safe working practices. Throughout this standard, the term "machine" applies to those machines known as aerators, scarifiers, corers, lawn rakes or grass rakes.
Gartengeräte - Handgeführte Rasen-Bodenbelüfter und Vertikutierer - Sicherheit
Diese Europäische Norm legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfungen für die Gestaltung und Konstruktion von handgeführten motorgetriebenen Vertikutierern und Rasen-Bodenbelüftern fest, die zur Regenierung von Rasen, z. B. Auskämmen von Gras, Stroh und Moos, oder vertikales Einschneiden der Rasenfläche mit Hilfe von sich um eine horizontale Achse drehenden Arbeitswerkzeug verwendet werden. Die Norm legt Maßnahmen zur Vermeidung der sich aus dem Gebrauch ergebenden Gefährdungen fest. Außerdem gibt sie Informationen über sicheres Arbeiten, die vom Hersteller zur Verfügung zu stellen sind.
In dieser Norm bezieht sich der Begriff Maschine auf alle Maschinen, die als Vertikutierer, Bodenbelüfter, Boden(aus)stecher, Rasen- oder Grasrechen bekannt sind.
Die Norm gilt nicht für Vertikutierer/Bodenbelüfter, die aus einer in den Anwendungsbereich der EN 709:1997 fallenden Maschine entstanden, wenn sie mit einem Anbau zum Bodenvertikutieren/-belüften ausgestattet sind, nicht motorgetriebene Bodenbelüfter, Bodenbelüfter mit vertikaler Achse oder Bodenbelüfter, die den Boden durch Hin- und Herbewegung oder Wasserdruck schneiden. Für die elektrischen Aspekte von netz-betriebenen Maschinen gilt EN 60335-1. Die Sicherheitsaspekte für Batterien, ausgenommen Starterbatterien, und die elektrischen Sicherheitsaspekte von batteriebetriebenen Rasen-Bodenbelüftern und Vertikutierern sind in dieser Norm nicht behandelt.
Diese Norm behandelt alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und Gefährdungsereignisse für Bodenbelüfter und Vertikutierer, sofern sie unter den vorgegebenen Zweck und unter den vom Hersteller vorgesehenen Bedingungen eingesetzt werden (siehe Abschnitt 4).
Die Gefährdung der Umwelt und EMV werden in dieser Norm nicht in Betracht gezogen.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Vertikutierer/Bodenbelüfter, die hergestellt wurden, bevor CEN dieses Dokument veröffentlichte.
Matériel de jardinage - Aérateurs et scarificateurs à conducteur à pied - Sécurité
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les prescriptions de sécurité et leurs vérifications pour la conception et la
construction des aérateurs de gazon et des scarificateurs à moteur intégré à conducteur à pied conçus pour
permettre au gazon d'être régénéré, par exemple par le ratissage de l'herbe, du chaume et de la mousse ou la coupe
verticale de la surface du gazon par l'utilisation de dents qui tournent autour d'un axe horizontal. Elle décrit les
méthodes pour éliminer ou réduire les phénomènes dangereux inhérents à leur utilisation. En outre, elle spécifie
le type d’informations que le fabricant doit fournir sur les pratiques d’utilisation sûres.
Dans toute cette norme, le terme «machine» s'applique aux machines connues comme étant des aérateurs,
des scarificateurs, des extracteurs, des râteaux pour gazon ou herbe.
La présente norme ne s'applique ni aux aérateurs/scarificateurs réalisés sur la base d’une machine relevant du
domaine d'application de l'EN 709:1997 lorsqu'ils sont équipés d'un outil d'aération/scarification, ni aux aérateurs
sans source de puissance, ni à ceux à axe vertical ou travaillant le sol au moyen d'un mouvement alternatif ou de la
pression de l'eau. En ce qui concerne les aspects électriques des machines raccordées au secteur, se reporter
à l'EN 60335-1. Les aspects de sécurité des batteries autres que les batteries pour le démarrage du moteur et les
aspects de sécurité électrique des aérateurs de gazon et des scarificateurs alimentés par batteries ne sont pas couverts
par la présente norme.
La présente norme traite tous les phénomènes dangereux, situations et événements dangereux significatifs
engendrés par les scarificateurs et les aérateurs lorsqu’ils sont utilisés normalement et dans les conditions prévues
par le fabricant (voir Article 4).
Les phénomènes dangereux liés à l’environnement et à la CEM ne sont pas couverts par la présente norme.

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this document. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.

EN 13684:2004+A3:2009 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of pedestrian controlled integrally powered lawn aerators and scarifiers which are designed for re-generating lawns by, for instance, combing out grass, thatch and moss or cutting vertically into the lawn face using tines which rotate about a horizontal axis. It describes methods of elimination or reduction of hazards arising from their use. In addition, it specifies the type of information to be provided by the manufacturer on safe working practices. Throughout this standard, the term “machine” applies to those machines known as aerators, scarifiers, corers, lawn rakes or grass rakes. This standard does not apply to aerators/scarifiers made from a machine falling within the scope of EN 709:1997 when fitted with an aerating/scarifying implement, non-powered aerators, vertical axis aerators or those aerators which cut into the soil by means of a reciprocating motion or by water pressure. The electrical aspects of mains operated machines are covered by EN 60335-1. The safety aspects of batteries other than batteries for starting the engine and the electrical safety aspects of battery powered lawn aerators and scarifiers are not covered by this standard. This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to scarifiers and aerators, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). Environmental hazards and EMC have not been considered in this standard. This document is not applicable to aerators/scarifiers which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN. 2 Normative references %The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
