EN 16831:2016 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard establishes a uniform format to record data related to accidents where tractors and/or agricultural machinery are involved. The reporting format defined in this document is intended to be used by all stakeholders dealing with these accidents, such as manufacturers of the products covered by its scope, health and safety bodies, insurance companies, market surveillance authorities, labour authorities and professional organizations. The standardized reporting format, based on a selection of defined cell content, will allow statistical processing of the data, and the confidence level will grow together with the quantity of the data entered in a database. Where possible and appropriate, the codes from ESAW1) have been used. The standardized reporting format, when used by the different stakeholders, will allow an easy and understandable exchange of data and enhance the confidence level of the data which are provided by the different stakeholders. The implementation of the ESAW methodology, where appropriate, may accelerate the integration of the technical aspects of accidents with agricultural machinery in the Phase III of the ESAW project: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Accidents_at_work_statistics This document is considering the technical aspects of the equipment, but addresses also in detail other parameters, such as human behaviour and fitness, the environment and the mode in which the equipment was used at the time of the accident. The nature of the data defined by this document is split in two parts, a public part and a concealed one. This will allow to keep the concealed information separated from the public information. The data for public information is anonymous, in order to avoid that the data of a particular accident do allow retrieval of the details of the accident in question. So there are no names, no exact places, no brands, nor models of equipment in the public part.

For each cell, one of the defined options as given in Annex A of this document shall be selected. It is not possible to enter other options than those defined in Annex A. This coding is in line with the ESAW methodology. NOTE Filtering the relevant codes of Table A.3 in function of the category of accident and category of equipment could be dealt with at the next revision of the standard or in new part of this standard, under evaluation. In particular this would be interesting in the case that the content of this standard would be used in digital applications. In the case there is more than one harmed person, there shall be a separate form made for each of them. 4.1.2 Equipment 4.1.2.1 General This section defines the technical characteristics of the equipment that can be recorded and which one is relevant for the purpose of this document. In order to preserve the anonymous profile of the data, the recorded data in the public part shall not contain brand names, type descriptions, or serial numbers. 4.1.2.2 Classification of the equipment This cell defines the classification of the equipment at a very high level and is based on the NACE codes (starting with 09.02 for agricultural equipment). An “x” shall be entered in the appropriate box in Annex A, Table A.1. SIST EN 16831:2016



EN 16831:2016 (E) 7 4.1.2.3 Category and type of equipment (in alphabetical order) This cell defines the equipment in further detail. Refer to Annex A, Table A.2. 4.1.2.4 Age of the equipment This cell defines the age of the equipment. When the equipment is a combination of a tractor and a machine or trailer from different ages, then the equipment which is deemed to be primarily involved in the accident shall be considered. The year of manufacturing shall be entered in Annex A, Table A.3. The spread sheet returns the age of the equipment at the time of the accident. 4.1.2.5 Maintenance condition This cell defines the maintenance condition of the equipment. When the equipment is a combination of a tractor and a machine or a trailer with a different maintenance condition, then the equipment which is primarily deemed to be involved in the accident shall be considered. Maintenance shall also consider the general condition of the machine (cleanliness, dents, wrecked, etc.). Refer to Annex A, code 100 - 199. 4.1.2.6 Protections This cell defines the status of protective structures and systems on the equipment. Only those which have relevance for the accident in question shall be considered. Refer to Annex A, code 200 - 299. 4.1.2.7 Performance and problems This cell defines the degree of performance and possible technical problems with the equipment. Only those which have relevance for the accident in question shall be considered. Refer to Annex A, code 300 - 399. 4.1.2.8 Compliance with regulations and standards This cell defines the compliance with regulations and standards. Only those which have relevance for the accident in question shall be considered. It is also assumed that the compliance shall be assessed at the time the equipment was first placed on the market, but it is recognized that it will not always be easy to retrieve exactly the legislation which applied at that time. Refer to Annex A, code 400 - 499. 4.1.3 Nature of the accident 4.1.3.1 General This section defines the nature of the accident. The parameters and terminology are those from EN ISO 12100:2010, Clauses 4 and 5. 4.1.3.2 Category of accident This cell defines the hazard category which caused harm as a result of the accident. These are the relevant hazards from EN ISO 12100:2010, Clause 4. In case the victim has been subject to more than one harm, then the hazard category which resulted in the most severe harm (see 4.1.5) shall be considered. The algorithm of the spread sheet is based on the category of accident, in a way that the options for entering a code are related to the category of the accident. SIST EN 16831:2016

Introduction
This European Standard establishes a uniform format to record data related to accidents where tractors
and/or agricultural machinery are involved.
The reporting format defined in this document is intended to be used by all stakeholders dealing with these
accidents, such as manufacturers of the products covered by its scope, health and safety bodies, insurance
companies, market surveillance authorities, labour authorities and professional organizations.
The standardized reporting format, based on a selection of defined cell content, will allow statistical
processing of the data, and the confidence level will grow together with the quantity of the data entered in a
database.

Where possible and appropriate, the codes from ESAW have been used.
The standardized reporting format, when used by the different stakeholders, will allow an easy and
understandable exchange of data and enhance the confidence level of the data which are provided by the
different stakeholders. The implementation of the ESAW methodology, where appropriate, may accelerate the
integration of the technical aspects of accidents with agricultural machinery in the Phase III of the ESAW
project:
http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/cache/ITY_OFFPUB/KS-RA-12-102/EN/KS-RA-12-102-EN.PDF
This document is considering the technical aspects of the equipment, but addresses also in detail other
parameters, such as human behaviour and fitness, the environment and the mode in which the equipment
was used at the time of the accident.
The nature of the data defined by this document is split in two parts, a public part and a concealed one. This
will allow to keep the concealed information separated from the public information. The data for public
information is anonymous, in order to avoid that the data of a particular accident do allow retrieval of the
details of the accident in question. So there are no names, no exact places, no brands, nor models of
equipment in the public part.

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 12100:2010 and the following
apply.
3.1

all persons other than the operator/driver that are exposed to harm, either involved or not in the activities of
the equipment
3.3
victim

4 Reporting format of the public part
4.1 Main structure of the cells
4.1.1 General
All recorded data related to a particular accident can be grouped into four main sections:
a) the equipment involved;
b) the nature of the accident;
c) the environmental factors; and
d) the human factors.
For each cell, one of the defined options as given in Annex A of this document shall be selected. It is not
possible to enter other options than those defined in Annex A. The algorithm is made in such a way that the
possible options are filtered to the category of the accident and the type of the equipment. For example, in
case of an entanglement accident, the option whether or not a ROPS is present will not be offered, because
this is redundant information. There is no possibility to enter additional comments. For all the cells the options
to enter are the following:
— “do not know”: code 0;
— “not applicable/not relevant”: code ending with 98 or 998;
— “no appropriate code available”: code ending with 99 or 999.
For any available data that are not relevant for the accident in question, the option “not applicable/not
relevant” shall be selected. This coding is in line with the ESAW methodology.
In the case there is more than one harmed person, there shall be a separate form made for each of them.

brand names, type descriptions, or serial numbers.
4.1.2.2 Classification of the equipment
This cell defines the classification of the equipment at a very high level and is based on the NACE codes
(starting with 09.02 for agricultural equipment). An “x” shall be entered in the appropriate box in Annex A,
Table A.1.
4.1.2.3 Type of equipment (in alphabetical order)
This cell defines the equipment in further detail. There is also a cell to define the equipment primarily involved
in the accident, in case of a combination of equipment, such as a tractor with a baler. Refer to Annex A,
Table A.2.
4.1.2.4 Age of the equipment
This cell defines the age of the equipment. When the equipment is a combination of a tractor and a machine
or trailer from different ages, then the equipment which is deemed to be primarily involved in the accident shall
be considered. The year of manufacturing shall be entered in Annex A, Table A.3. The spread sheet returns
the age of the equipment at the time of the accident.
4.1.2.5 Maintenance condition
This cell defines the maintenance condition of the equipment. When the equipment is a combination of a
tractor and a machine or a trailer with a different maintenance condition, then the equipment which is primarily
deemed to be involved in the accident shall be considered.
Maintenance shall also consider the general condition of the machine (cleanliness, dents, wrecked, etc.).
Refer to Annex A, code 100 - 199.
4.1.2.6 Protections
This cell defines the status of protective structures and systems on the equipment. Only those which have
relevance for the accident in question shall be considered.
Refer to Annex A, code 200 - 299.
4.1.2.7 Performance and problems
This cell defines the degree of performance and possible technical problems with the equipment. Only those
which have relevance for the accident in question shall be considered.
Refer to Annex A, code 300 - 399.
4.1.2.8 Compliance with regulations and standards

This cell defines the hazard category which caused harm as a result of the accident. These are the relevant
hazards from EN ISO 12100:2010, Clause 4. In case the victim has been subject to more than one harm, then
the hazard category which resulted in the most severe harm (see 4.1.5) shall be considered. The algorithm of
the spread sheet is based on the category of accident, in a way that the options for entering a code are related
to the category of the accident. For this reason, it is required to enter the category of accident upfront in the
appropriate box of Table A.2.
4.1.3.3 Accident scene
This cell defines the location where the accident happened and there is a choice between the typical
agricultural scenes in which the equipment covered by this document is operating.
Refer to Annex A, code 500 - 599.
4.1.3.4 Specific physical activity at the time of the accident
This cell defines the part of the lifecycle in which the human interaction took place at the time of the accident.
These are the relevant life cycles from ISO 12100:
