Agricultural and forestry machinery - Solid fertilizer distributors - Safety
This European Standard, applied together with EN 1553:1999, specifies the safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of mounted, semi-mounted, trailed or self-propelled fertilizer distributors for solid fertilizer application, i.e. full width solid fertilizer distributors, solid fertilizer broadcasters, distributors with oscillating tube and line-distributors as well as solid fertilizer distributors driven by an auxiliary engine to be used by one operator only, used in agriculture, horticulture and in forestry. In addition, this European Standard specifies the type of information on safe working practices (including residual risks) to be provided by the manufacturer.
When requirements of this European Standard are different from those which are stated in EN 1553:1999 the requirements of this European Standard take precedence over the requirements of EN 1553:1999 for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this European Standard.
It does not apply to:
- combined seed and fertilizer drills;
- machines for distributing granulated pesticides;
- pedestrian controlled distributors;
- knapsack distributors.
This European Standard deals with all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to solid fertilizer distributors, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4), excepting the hazards arising from:
- inadequate lighting of moving/working area;
- inadequate visibility from drivers/operators position;
- inadequate seating;
- travelling functions (drive, braking etc.);
- rolling over;
- equipment for loading fertilizer into the machine;
- an auxiliary engine.
It is not applicable to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) nor to environmental hazards (except noise). These aspects are covered by EN 13739-1:2003, EN 13739-2:2003, EN 13740-1:2003 and EN 13740-2:2003.

For machines of which feeding components are not ground-wheel-driven, the hopper shall be fitted with a grid, either fixed (according to 3.25.1 of EN ISO 12100-1:2003); or which remains attached to the machine when opened (for example by means of hinges) and automatically locks in the closed position without the use of a tool and needing a tool to be opened; or combination of these two types of grids. The grid apertures and location shall comply with the safety distances given in Tables 1, 3, 4 and 6 of EN 294:1992 in closed position. These requirements shall be verified by inspection and measurement. See also 7.1 r). When in the closed position, this grid shall resist the strength requirement for the vertical load as specified in 4.1.7.2 of EN 1553:1999. The distributing conveyors and flow control regulators, which are not ground-wheel-driven, shall be guarded against any contact, except for the feeding zone of distributing components. The accessible parts of the ground-wheel-driven distributing conveyors and of the flow control regulators shall be guarded on the top and at the sides, except for the feeding zone of distributing components. This shall be verified by inspection. 5.5 Loading 5.5.1 Safe access for loading The height for a loading, either manually or with large bags, measured as the vertical distance between the upper edge of the hopper at the loading location and the surface of the ground or the operator platform, in the position defined in the instruction handbook, shall not exceed 1 250 mm (see Figure 4). In case the platform is narrower than the hopper, provisions to indicate the end of a platform to the operator shall be provided. These provisions shall not constitute an obstacle of access. See also 7.1 h) and 7.1 q). If a loading platform is provided, this platform shall meet the following requirements: the minimum width of the platform shall be 600 mm and the minimum depth from back to front shall be 300 mm; the distance between the edge of the hopper or the edge of the opened cover and the vertical plane through the edge of the platform shall be 200 mm maximum (see Figure 4); a handrail or handhold(s) shall be provided between the hopper and the platform. This (these) handrail/handhold(s) may be an integral part(s) of the hopper provided it (they) is (are) suitably designed. This shall be verified by measurement and inspection.
