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 5395-3 was prepared by the European Committee for Standarization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 144, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry in collaboration with ISO Technical
Committee TC 23, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry, Subcommittee SC 13, Powered
lawn and garden equipment, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO
and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition of ISO 5395-3, together with ISO 5395-1 and ISO 5395-2, cancels and replaces
ISO 5395:1990, which has been technically revised. These three parts also incorporate the Amendment
ISO 5395:1990/Amd.1:1992.
ISO 5395 consists of the following parts, under the general title Garden equipment — Safety requirements
for combustion-engine-powered lawnmowers:
— Part 1: Terminology and common tests
— Part 2: Pedestrian-controlled lawnmowers

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 12100 and ISO 5395-1 apply.
4 Requirements for ride-on lawnmowers
4.1 General
The lawnmower shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause.
The lawnmower shall be marked and carry warnings according to 7.2 and shall be provided with an
instruction handbook which complies with 7.1.
In addition, the lawnmower shall be designed according to the principles of ISO 12100 for relevant but
not significant hazards which are not dealt with by this part of ISO 5395. An audible warning device (for
example, a horn) is not required.
Unless otherwise stated, all tests shall be carried out at an ambient temperature between 15 °C and 35 °C.
If not otherwise specified within this part of ISO 5395, the tests may be carried out in any order and on
separate machines, cutting-means enclosures, and cutting-means components.
When the order in which tests should be carried out and the number of permitted machines are not
defined in this part of ISO 5395, these conditions should be determined by agreement between the
persons carrying out the tests and the manufacturer.
Where it is specified that the engine shall run during the test, it shall be operated at the maximum
operating engine speed (see definition in ISO 5395-1). If the measured engine speed is not within the
limits specified in the instruction handbook, the engine speed shall be adjusted in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
4.2 Controls
4.2.1 General
Separate controls shall be provided for the traction drive and cutting-means engagement.
Directional control mechanisms that cause forward and reverse propulsion as well as forward and
reverse speed control shall have a neutral position.
Except for lever-steer lawnmowers, when released, a traction drive speed control shall automatically
return to the neutral position or shall be capable of being overridden by the service brake.
Foot control pedals shall have slip-resistant surfaces or other means of minimizing the possibility of the
operator’s foot slipping off the control pedal.

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 5395-3:2014
ISO 5395-3:2013(E)
Except for lever-steer lawnmowers, forward/reverse directional controls shall require at least one of
the following:
a) a distinct change in direction of the control actuation (for example, right angle to general path of
control motion) at a point before a change in direction occurs; or
b) a distinct change in force level at the point of entry into the selected direction; or
c) a positive means of retarding machine acceleration, for example hydrostatic control with valves
operated by rigid linkages.
The traction drive and cutting means shall automatically stop or disengage when the operator leaves
the operating position.
Compliance shall be checked by functional test and inspection to demonstrate that it meets the above
requirements.
The location of operator controls, to be operated from the operator’s position during grass cutting, shall
be within the zones of Figure 1 for an operator in the required operator position.
The operator control zone defined in Figure 1 includes the maximum movement range of the controls
but is not intended to represent preferred operator control positions.
For the seated operator, the operator control zone is established with the seat in the rear-most position.
[10]
NOTE ISO/TS 15079 gives useful information about location and operation of operator controls.
For the purpose of this clause, the following shall not be considered as operator controls that are
operated during grass cutting:
— height-of-cut setting;
— fixed cutting-means setting or adjustment;
— grass catcher discharge opening;
— hydrostatic bypass valve;
— engine-starting controls which meet 4.2.3;
— engine-stopping controls if separate from cutting-means stopping control;
— parking brake.
Compliance shall be checked by inspection and measurement.

NOTE The operator control zone, illustrated in Figure 1 is the area into which the extremities of a 95th
percentile male can reach from the normal operator position.
4.2.2 Engine speed
The lawnmower shall be designed so that it is not possible to sustain an engine speed greater than the
maximum operating engine speed (see definition in ISO 5395-1) by the use of any control or without
replacing or reconfiguring engine speed control components.
Compliance shall be checked by inspection and measurement.
4.2.3 Engine-starting device
Any engine-starting device (e.g. start switch, recoil rope starter) shall require intentional activation in
order to start the engine.
A starter operated by means of a loose rope is not allowed.
For battery started engines, the start switch shall be operated by a removable key or a similar device to
prevent unauthorized starting.

The engine shall only start if the:
— operator is in position or parking brake is applied; and
— traction drive and cutting means are disengaged.
Compliance shall be checked by functional test and inspection.
4.2.4 Engine-stopping device
An engine-stopping device shall be provided. The device shall not depend on sustained manual pressure
for its continued operation.
NOTE An emergency stop device is not required.
Compliance shall be checked by functional test and inspection.
4.2.5 Steering wheel
If the lawnmower is equipped with a steering wheel, when moving forward a clockwise rotation shall
effect a right turn and counter-clockwise rotation shall effect a left turn.
During operation, the steering mechanism shall not lock in any position.
Compliance shall be checked by functional test and inspection.
4.2.6 Lever steering and motion controls
4.2.6.1 General
If the lawnmower is equipped with lever(s) for directional control, movement of the lever(s) forward shall
result in forward motion, and movement of the lever(s) rearward shall result in rearward motion. If the
operator releases the levers while in the rearward position, the directional controls shall automatically
return to the neutral position or the machine’s rearward motion shall stop.
Compliance shall be checked by functional test and inspection.
4.2.6.2 Lawnmower with two control levers
Movement of the right lever shall control the right drive wheel.
