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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
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.
ISO 5395-1 was prepared by the European Committee for Standarization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 144, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry in collaboration with ISO Technical
Committee TC 23, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry, Subcommittee SC 13, Powered
lawn and garden equipment, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO
and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition of ISO 5395-1, together with ISO 5395-2 and ISO 5395-3, cancels and replaces
ISO 5395:1990, which has been technically revised. These three parts also incorporate the Amendment
ISO 5395:1990/Amd.1:1992.

4 Common test methods
4.1 If not otherwise specified within this document, the tests may be carried out in any order and on
separate machines, cutting-means enclosures, and cutting-means components.
When the order in which tests should be carried out and the number of permitted machines are not
defined in this part of ISO 5395, these conditions should be determined by agreement between the
persons carrying out the tests and the manufacturer. Descriptions of a number of common test methods
applicable to both pedestrian-controlled lawnmowers and ride-on lawnmowers are included in the
annexes of this part of ISO 5395.
4.2 The following test methods are applicable to rotary lawnmowers only:
— cutting-means impact test as given in Annex B;
— foot protection test as given in Annex C;
— structural integrity test as given in Annex D;
— thrown object test as given in Annex E.
4.3 The following test methods are applicable to both rotary lawnmowers and cylinder lawnmowers:
— cutting-means stopping time and durability test as given in Annex A;
— noise test code as given in Annex F;

Annex A
(normative)

Lawnmower cutting-means stopping time test
A.1 General
This annex specifies the method to measure the stopping time of cutting means.
A.2 Test object
The test shall be carried out on a lawnmower equipped with the cutting means to be tested. If the
lawnmower has alternative cutting means available, it shall be tested with the cutting means which
produces the longest stopping time.
A.3 Apparatus
A.3.1 Rotational speed indicator, with a rotating speed reading inaccuracy of ±2,5 %.
A.3.2 Time recording device.
A.3.2.1 Stopwatch, in cases where the results obtained are at least 0,3 s less than the allowed cutting-
means stopping time.
A.3.2.2 Automatic time recording device, with an inaccuracy of ±2,5 % of the maximum allowed
stopping time and including devices according to A.3.2.2.1 and A.3.2.2.2.
A.3.2.2.1 Device, for registering the moment of release of the cutting-means operator-presence
control or operation of the control.
A.3.2.2.2 Device, for registering the movement of the cutting means with at least 36 inputs per
revolution.
A.4 Test condition and lawnmower preparation
The ambient temperature shall be between 15 °C and 35 °C.
The lawnmower shall be mounted and instrumented in such a manner that the results of the test are not
affected. If an external starting device is used, it shall not influence the results.
Prior to the test the lawnmower shall be assembled and adjusted according to the instruction handbook.
Knives of cylinder lawnmowers shall be lubricated. For cylinder lawnmowers, the rotating cutting
cylinder(s) and/or the stationary cutting edge(s) shall be adjusted such that either:
2
— a sheet of Kraft paper, of nominal 80 g/m construction, is cut at least along 50 % of the width of cut, or
— the gap between moving and stationary cutting means at standstill does not exceed 0,15 mm over
the whole width of cut when checked with calibrated strip gauges.
The lawnmower shall be operated for 15 min. During this 15 min period, the cutting-means control shall
be operated 10 times at maximum operating engine speed.
