Overview

EN 15436-4:2009 - Road service area maintenance equipment, Part 4: Delivery acceptance of the machines by the users - is a CEN standard that applies to mowers and mechanical brush cutters used by road maintenance services. The standard defines harmonised expressions and characteristic parameters that operators use to specify equipment performance to suppliers and describes procedures for testing delivered machines for compliance with operator requirements.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and purpose
  • Applies specifically to vehicle‑mounted mowers and mechanical brush cutters used in road maintenance.
  • Enables uniform specification and acceptance testing at delivery.
• Performance specifications
  • Post-mowing/post-trimming width and height (referenced to EN 15436‑1).
  • Quality of mowing: allowed number of plant parts exceeding target height in a defined area.
  • Length of cut vegetation (chaff function) and minimum distances to obstructions.
• Kinematic parameters / ranges
  • Planar ranges (minimum/maximum lateral reach relative to vehicle central plane).
  • Ranges on embankments and ditch banks, including angles and horizontal/h vertical coordinates.
  • Obstructions: bypassing, underriding clearances and envelopes to define obstacles to be skirted or passed over.
  • Displacement relative to the operator’s seat reference plane for ergonomic reach.
• Traffic, transport and deployment
  • Traffic zones/clearances for regular and interrupted operations (width × length × height).
  • Transport settings and locking requirements, including permissible transport speeds.
  • Deployment temperature and operating periods (air temperature and permissible times).
• Mounting and drives
  • Mechanical interfaces and drive specifications (references to EN 15431 and EN 15432).
• Acceptance tolerances and measurement
  • Dimensional tolerances: mowing width ±3 cm; mowing height ±2 cm.
  • Measuring accuracy: lengths ±1 cm, angles ±1°, temperatures ±1 °C, times ±1 s.
  • Measurement procedures for mowing width/height, quality of mowing, ranges and mowing capacity.

Practical applications and users

EN 15436-4:2009 is intended for:

• Road authorities and municipal maintenance departments specifying procurement requirements.
• Equipment manufacturers and suppliers preparing technical offers and verifying conformity.
• Vehicle integrators and workshop teams mounting and testing mower/brush cutter units.
• Acceptance test engineers and QA teams performing delivery inspections.
• Procurement specialists drafting tender documents with harmonised performance parameters.

Using this standard helps reduce ambiguity in specifications, speed up supplier evaluations, and ensure delivered machinery meets operational needs for roadside vegetation management.
