ISO 11681-1:2004(E) iv © ISO 2004 – All rights reserved Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a world-wide 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 11681-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 23, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry, Subcommittee SC 17, Manually portable forest machinery. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11681-1:1996), which has been technically revised.
ISO 11681 consists of the following parts, under the general title Machinery for forestry — Portable chain-saw safety requirements and testing:  Part 1: Chain-saws for forest service  Part 2: Tree service chain-saws SIST EN ISO 11681-1:2009



ISO 11681-1:2004(E) © ISO 2004 – All rights reserved v Introduction This document is a type C standard as defined in ISO 12100-2. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this document. The provisions of this type C standard are different from those stated in type A or B standards, in that they take precedence over the provisions of the other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to type C standard provisions.
