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 4254-11 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 23, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and
forestry, Subcommittee SC 7, Equipment for harvesting and conservation.
For the purposes of global relevance, the requirements related to the guarding of moving parts for power
transmission have been transferred and published as two separate Technical Specifications:
ISO/TS 28923:2007 (Guard opening with tool) and ISO/TS 28924:2007, which include the requirements taken
from both 4.6 and Annex C of ISO 4254-1:2008.
ISO 4254 consists of the following parts, under the general title Agricultural machinery — Safety:
⎯ Part 1: General requirements
⎯ Part 5: Power-driven soil-working machines
⎯ Part 6: Sprayers and liquid fertilizer distributors
⎯ Part 7: Combine harvesters, forage harvesters and cotton harvesters

Introduction
The structure of safety standards in the field of machinery is as follows:
a) type-A standards (basic standards) giving basic concepts, principles for design, and general aspects that
can be applied to machinery;
b) type-B standards (generic safety standards) dealing with one or more safety aspects or one or more
types of safeguards that can be used across a wide range of machinery:
⎯ type-B1 standards on particular safety aspects (e.g. safety distances, surface temperature, noise);
⎯ type-B2 standards on safeguards (e.g. two-hand controls, interlocking devices, pressure-sensitive
devices, guards);
c) Type-C standards (machinery safety standards) dealing with detailed safety requirements for a particular
machine or group of machines.
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 part of ISO 4254. These hazards are specific to self-propelled and
trailed pick-up balers, including the combination of pick-up balers with wrappers.
Significant hazards that are common to all the agricultural machines (self-propelled ride-on, mounted, semi-
mounted and trailed) are dealt with in ISO 4254-1.
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 provisions of this type-C standard.

Part 11:
Pick-up balers
1 Scope
This part of ISO 4254, intended to be used together with ISO 4254-1, specifies the safety requirements and
their verification for the design and construction of self-propelled and trailed pick-up balers, including the
combination of pick-up balers with wrappers, independent of the shape or size of the bales formed. It
describes methods for the elimination or reduction of hazards arising from the intended use and reasonably
foreseeable misuse of these machines by one person (the operator) in the course of normal operation and
service. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the
manufacturer.
When requirements of this part of ISO 4254 are different from those which are stated in ISO 4254-1, the
requirements of this part of ISO 4254 take precedence over the requirements of ISO 4254-1 for machines that
have been designed and built according to the requirements of this part of ISO 4254.
This part of ISO 4254, taken together with ISO 4254-1, deals with all the significant hazards (as listed in
Table 1), hazardous situations and events relevant to self-propelled and trailed pick-up balers, including the
combination of pick-up balers with wrappers, when they are used as intended and under the conditions of
misuse that are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This part of ISO 4254 is not applicable to pedestrian-controlled round balers, environmental hazards, road
safety, vibration and hazards related to moving parts for power transmission. It is not applicable to hazards
related to maintenance or repairs carried out by professional service personnel.

5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
5.1 General
5.1.1 Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause. In
addition, the machine shall be designed in accordance with the principles of ISO 12100:—, Clause 4, for
hazards relevant, but not significant, which are not dealt with by this part of ISO 4254.
5.1.2 Except where otherwise specified in this part of ISO 4254, the machine shall comply with the
requirements of ISO 4254-1 and with Tables 1, 3, 4 and 6 of ISO 13857:2008 as appropriate.
5.1.3 Machinery shall comply with ISO 14982 for evaluating the electromagnetic compatibility.
5.2 Requirements for all types of balers
5.2.1 Drawbar
When the drawbar has separate positions, for transport and for working, it shall be provided with a mechanical
or hydraulic locking device that requires an intentional action to change from transport to working position and
from working to transport position (e.g. pin, latch or hydraulic cylinder). When a hydraulic device is used, the
drawbar shall remain locked in position if the hydraulic circuit fails or else the requirements of 4.8.3 of
ISO 4254-1:2008 shall apply.
5.2.2 Pick-up device
Protection against inadvertent contact with the pick-up device shall be provided by parts of the machine,
guards, barriers or a combination of these. The position of parts which may be adjustable shall always remain
within the limits specified in 5.2.2.1. The projection on a horizontal plane of these protective devices shall be
continuous.
NOTE Requirements for the strength of barriers and guards are given in ISO 4254-1:2008, Annex C.
5.2.2.1 When the pick-up device is in the working position as defined in the operator's manual, these
barriers shall be:
⎯ a minimum of 230 mm in front of the most forward point of the tine path and at a height, h, as low as

ISO/DIS 4254-11
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 4254-11 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 23, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and
forestry, Subcommittee SC 7, Equipment for harvesting and conservation.
ISO 4254 consists of the following parts, under the general title Agricultural machinery — Safety:
⎯ Part 1: General requirements
⎯ Part 2: Anhydrous ammonia applicators
⎯ Part 3: Tractors
⎯ Part 5: Power-driven soil-working equipment
⎯ Part 6: Sprayers and liquid fertilizer distributors
⎯ Part 7: Combine harvesters, forage and cotton harvesters
⎯ Part 9: Equipment for sowing, planting and distributing fertilizers
⎯ Part 10: Rotary tedders and rakes
⎯ Part 11: Pick-up balers
⎯ Part 12: Rotary disc and drum mowers and flail-mowers
Part 3, Tractors, is to be revised under a separate number and published as ISO 26322. Part 4, Forestry winches, is
published as ISO 19472, Machinery for forestry – Winches – Terms and definitions, performance and safety.

ISO/DIS 4254-11
Introduction
The structure of safety standards in the field of machinery is as follows:
⎯ type-A standards (basis safety standards) giving basic concepts, principle for design, and general aspects
that can be applied to machinery;
⎯ type-B standards (generic safety standards) dealing with one safety aspect or one type of safeguards that
can be used across a wide range of machinery:
⎯ type-B1 standards on particular safety aspects (e.g. safety distances, surface temperature, noise);
⎯ type-B2 standards on safeguards (e.g. two-hands controls, interlocking devices, pressure sensitive
devices, guards);
⎯ type-C standards (machinery safety standards) dealing with detailed safety requirements for a particular
machine or group of machines.
This Standard is a type C standard as stated in ISO 12100-1.
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.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this document.
