Overview

The SIST EN ISO 8437-2:2021/oprA1:2022 standard, titled Snow throwers - Safety requirements and test procedures - Part 2: Pedestrian-controlled snow throwers - Amendment 1 (ISO 8437-2:2019/DAM 1:2022), is a technical amendment focused on enhancing safety protocols for pedestrian-controlled snow throwers powered by combustion engines. Published under the authority of CEN in collaboration with ISO, this amendment is an important update in the ISO 8437 series that targets the safety and performance testing of these specialized machines used in snow removal.

This amendment builds upon the original ISO 8437-2:2019 standard and works in conjunction with ISO 8437-1 and ISO 8437-4 to provide comprehensive safety requirements and testing methodologies. It ensures that pedestrian-operated snow throwers meet rigorous safety criteria to protect users and bystanders during operation.

Key Topics

• Safety requirements for combustion engine pedestrian snow throwers: Specific safety measures addressing potential hazards related to engine operation, user control, and machine mechanics.
• Test procedures for compliance verification: Standardized testing methods to assess conformity with safety criteria, covering mechanical, electrical, and functional safety aspects.
• Integration with related ISO standards: Harmonization with ISO 8437-1 (general requirements) and ISO 8437-4 (other parts related to snow throwers) for complete evaluation and verification.
• Amendment specifics: Updates to scope definition and additional safety provisions reflecting technological advancements and practical user considerations.
• Applicability: Relevant for manufacturers, testing laboratories, regulatory bodies, and safety assessors involved in the design, production, and certification of snow throwers.

Applications

The SIST EN ISO 8437-2:2021/oprA1:2022 amendment is crucial for ensuring the safe design and operation of pedestrian-controlled snow throwers, which are widely used in:

• Residential and commercial snow removal: Enhancing operator safety while clearing driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots.
• Municipal snow management: Assisting local governments in meeting safety standards for publicly operated snow clearing equipment.
• Equipment manufacturing: Providing manufacturers with updated guidelines to incorporate safety features and maintain compliance with international standards.
• Product certification and testing: Assisting testing labs in developing test protocols and verifying compliance with new safety requirements.
• Risk management and insurance: Informing safety evaluations that impact product liability and worker safety policies.

Related Standards

• ISO 8437-1: General safety requirements and test procedures for all types of snow throwers.
• ISO 8437-4: Additional safety and testing provisions applicable to specific snow thrower models and configurations.
• EN ISO 8437 series: A collective framework of standards covering all aspects of snow thrower safety, performance, and environmental considerations.
• ISO/TC 23/SC 13: The technical committee responsible for powered lawn and garden equipment, including snow throwers, ensuring up-to-date and harmonized requirements.

Summary

SIST EN ISO 8437-2:2021/oprA1:2022 Amendment 1 updates the safety requirements and test procedures specifically for pedestrian-controlled, combustion engine-powered snow throwers. It provides a robust framework for manufacturers, regulators, and users to ensure these machines operate safely and reliably. By referencing this amendment alongside related ISO 8437 parts, stakeholders can achieve thorough safety compliance, reducing hazards associated with snow thrower use.
