Agricultural and forestry machinery - Safety requirements and testing for portable, hand-held, powered brush-cutters and grass-trimmers - Part 1: Machines fitted with an integral combustion engine (ISO 11806-1:2022)

This document gives safety requirements and measures for their verification for the design and
construction of portable hand-held, powered brush-cutters and grass-trimmers (hereafter called
machines) having an integral combustion engine as their power unit and mechanical power transmission
between the power source and the cutting attachment. Methods for the elimination or reduction of
hazards arising from the use of these machines and the type of information on safe working practices
to be provided by the manufacturer are specified.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events relevant
to these machines, as well as when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are
reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
This document is not applicable to machines equipped with metallic cutting attachments consisting of
more than one piece, such as pivoting chains or flail blades.
NOTE See Annex C for a list of significant hazards.
This document is applicable to portable, hand-held, powered brush-cutters and grass-trimmers
manufactured after its date of publication.

Ta dokument določa varnostne zahteve in ukrepe za njihovo preverjanje za načrtovanje ter izdelavo prenosnih, ročno vodenih kosilnic s prosto rezjo, opremljenih z rezilno ploščo ali kosilno nitko (v nadaljevanju: »stroji«), ki imajo motorje z notranjim izgorevanjem in mehanski prenos napajanja med virom napajanja in nastavkom za rezanje. Predpisane so metode za odpravljanje ali zmanjšanje tveganj, ki izhajajo iz uporabe teh strojev, in vrsta informacij o varnih delovnih praksah, ki jih mora zagotoviti proizvajalec. Ta dokument obravnava vsa večja tveganja, nevarne situacije in nevarne dogodke v zvezi s temi stroji, kadar se uporabljajo v skladu s predvidenim namenom in pod pogoji pričakovane nepravilne uporabe, ki jih določa proizvajalec. Ta dokument se ne uporablja za stroje, opremljene s kovinskimi nastavki za rezanje, ki jih sestavlja več delov, npr. vrteče se verige ali mlatilne lopatice. OPOMBA: Za seznam večjih tveganj glej dodatek C. Ta dokument se uporablja za prenosne, ročno vodene kosilnice s prosto rezjo, opremljene z rezilno ploščo ali kosilno nitko, izdelane po datumu njegove izdaje.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO 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.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/
iso/ foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 23, Tractors and machinery for agriculture
and forestry, Subcommittee SC 17, Manually portable forest machinery.
This second edition of ISO 11806-1 cancels and replaces ISO 11806:2011, of which it is also a technical
revision.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— Addition of a force requirement in the throttle trigger lock-out performance test.
— Addition of fuel tank and fuel line integrity test requirements.
A list of all parts in the ISO 11806 series can be found on the ISO website.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events
are covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or
type-B standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of
the other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of
this type-C standard.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 11806-1:2020(E)
Agricultural and forestry machinery — Safety
requirements and testing for portable, hand-held, powered
brush-cutters and grass-trimmers —
Part 1:
Machines fitted with an integral combustion engine
1 Scope
This part of ISO 11806 gives safety requirements and measures for their verification for the design
and construction of portable hand-held, powered brush-cutters and grass-trimmers (hereafter called
machines) having an integral combustion engine as their power unit and mechanical power transmission
between the power source and the cutting attachment. Methods for the elimination or reduction of
hazards arising from the use of these machines and the type of information on safe working practices
to be provided by the manufacturer are specified.
This part of ISO 11806 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events
relevant to these machines, as well as when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse
which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
This part of ISO 11806 is not applicable to machines equipped with metallic cutting attachments
consisting of more than one piece, e.g. pivoting chains or flail blades.
NOTE See Annex C for a list of significant hazards.
This part of ISO 11806 is applicable to portable, hand-held, powered brush-cutters and grass-trimmers
manufactured after its date of publication.

4 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
4.1 General
Machines shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause. In
addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of ISO 12100 for relevant but not
significant hazards which are not dealt with by this part of ISO 11806. The machine shall also be marked
according to 5.2 and carry warnings according to 5.3.
The safe operation of a brush-cutter and a grass-trimmer depends on both the safety requirements
given in this clause and the safe working conditions associated with the use of adequate personal
protection equipment (PPE), such as gloves, slip-resistant footwear, and leg, eye and hearing protection
equipment, as well as safe working procedures (see 5.1).
The instruction handbook to be provided with the machine shall comply with 5.1.
