Machinery for forestry - Safety requirements and testing for pole-mounted powered pruners - Part 2: Machines for use with backpack power source (ISO 11680-2:2021)

This document specifies safety requirements and measures for their verification for the design and
construction of portable, hand-held, pole-mounted powered pruners with a backpack power unit
(hereafter referred to as “machine”). These machines use a power transmission shaft to transmit power
to a cutting attachment consisting of a combination of saw-chain and guide bar, a reciprocating saw
blade or a single-piece circular saw blade with a 205 mm maximum outside diameter. 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, together with the relevant sections of ISO 11680-1:2021, deals with all significant
hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events, with the exception of electric shock from contact
with overhead electric lines (apart from warnings and advices for inclusion in the instructions) and
whole-body vibration from the backpack power unit, relevant to these machines when they are used as
intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
NOTE 1 A standardized test procedure for measuring whole-body vibration from the backpack power unit is
not available at the date of publication.
NOTE 2 See Annex A for a list of significant hazards.
This document is applicable to portable, hand-held, pole-mounted powered pruners with backpack
power unit manufactured after its date of publication.

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).
