Overview

SIST EN ISO 5395-3:2014/A2:2018 is an important European standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) that addresses safety requirements for combustion-engine-powered lawnmowers, specifically focusing on ride-on lawnmowers with seated operators. This amendment, known as Amendment 2, provides additional safety measures related to cutting means enclosure guards. The standard ensures safety compliance aligned with the EU Directive 2006/42/EC, which governs machinery safety across Europe.

This standard forms an essential part of the safety framework for garden equipment, particularly hydraulic and mechanical systems of ride-on lawnmowers used in horticultural and landscaping applications. It enables manufacturers and users to minimize risks associated with operating combustion-engine-powered ride-on mowers and helps ensure uniform safety compliance across CEN member countries.

Key Topics

• Operator Presence Control (OPC)
  The standard mandates a reliable Operator Presence Control system that requires continuous activation by the operator to allow cutting means and traction drive operation. It ensures automatic deactivation when the operator leaves the seat, preventing accidental mower operation.

• Cutting Means Enclosure Guards
  Amendment 2 emphasizes the necessity of protective guards enclosing cutting mechanisms to prevent accidental contact or ejection of debris, thereby enhancing operator and bystander safety.

• Parking Brake Requirements
  The parking brake must require either a minimum force or two dissimilar actions to release, preventing unintended disengagement that could lead to safety hazards.

• Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS)
  Lawn mowers with a mass of 400 kg or more are required to be fitted with a ROPS to protect operators from rollover accidents. This requirement supports safer operation on slopes or uneven terrain.

• Pressurized Hydraulic Hoses Safety
  Hoses operating above specified pressure thresholds and proximity to the operator must be shielded or routed to prevent fluid discharge onto the operator in case of rupture, reducing risk of injury.

• Impact Resistance of Cutting Means
  The cutting components must demonstrate resistance to impact according to ISO 5395-1 test procedures, ensuring durability and reducing the chance of component failures during use.

• Grass Catcher Testing
  The standard defines test conditions for grass catchers, including load and position parameters, to ensure safety and stability during operation and collection.

Applications

SIST EN ISO 5395-3:2014/A2:2018 is primarily applied in:

• Manufacturing of ride-on lawnmowers powered by combustion engines, where safe design and safeguard features must be incorporated.
• Testing and certification of lawnmowers for compliance with European safety directives.
• Safety audits and inspections in commercial landscaping and municipal maintenance operations.
• Product development ensuring integration of fail-safe mechanisms such as OPC systems, ROPS, and effective cutting blade guards.
• Regulatory conformity for companies marketing ride-on mowers within European Economic Area (EEA) and countries adhering to CEN standards.

This standard supports the prevention of machine-related accidents in professional landscaping, grounds maintenance, and large-scale gardening projects.

Related Standards

• ISO 5395-1:2013 – Safety requirements for walk-behind lawnmowers, relating to testing impact resistance and cutting means.
• ISO 13849-1:2015 – Safety-related parts of control systems, focusing on general principles for design used in OPC systems.
• ISO 21299:2009 – Protective structures like ROPS, providing complementary guidelines on operator safety in rollover scenarios.
• EU Directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive) – The overarching regulation for machinery safety within the EU, supported by this standard for compliance.

Adhering to SIST EN ISO 5395-3:2014/A2:2018 ensures ride-on lawnmowers meet essential safety standards, reduce user risk, and facilitate smoother regulatory approval within European markets.
