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 5395-2 was prepared by the European Committee for Standarization (CEN) Technical Committee

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 12100 and ISO 5395-1 apply.
4 Requirements for pedestrian-controlled 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 document. An audible warning device (for
example, 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 Location
The location of operator controls which require sustained activation shall be within the gripping area
of the handle(s).
The location of operator controls that do not require sustained activation but that might be operated
during grass cutting shall be within the zones shown in Figure 1.
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.
[12]
NOTE 1 ISO/TS 15079 gives useful information about the location and operation of operator controls.
For lawnmowers with a sulky, see the additional requirements in 4.17.2.

reached by a 95th percentile male leaning forward against the handle barrier.
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 by
adjustments made without breaking a manufacturer’s seal, if so provided, or without replacing or
reconfiguring engine speed control components.

Compliance shall be checked by inspection and measurement.
4.2.3 Engine starting
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 shall not be allowed.
For battery-started lawnmowers, the start switch shall be of the type operated by a removable key or a
similar device, to prevent unauthorized starting of the engine.
An engine-starting device located outside the operator control zone (see 4.2.1) shall only allow starting
with the cutting-means drive disengaged or if the lawnmower satisfies the foot protection requirements
of 5.3.2.2 d) at the starting position.
Compliance shall be checked by inspection.
4.2.4 Engine stopping
An engine-stopping device shall be provided. The device shall not depend on sustained manual pressure
for its continued operation. The stopping device can be included in the operator presence control (OPC).
NOTE An emergency stop device is not required.
Compliance shall be checked by functional test and inspection.
4.2.5 Brake steering or clutch steering
The brake-steering or clutch-steering controls shall be arranged so that:
— if actuated by dual controls, the control farthest to the right shall induce a movement of the machine
to the right and the control farthest to the left shall induce a movement of the machine to the left; or,
— if actuated by a single control, a clockwise movement of the control about its axis shall effect a
clockwise turn of the machine about its axis, and a counter-clockwise movement shall effect a
counter-clockwise turn.
Compliance shall be checked by functional test and inspection.
4.2.6 Traction drive
Both the forward and reverse functions of the traction-drive control, if present, shall require an OPC.
Compliance shall be checked by functional test and inspection.
4.3 Operator presence control (OPC)
The lawnmower shall be fitted with operator presence control device(s) which:
— meets the requirements in ISO 13849-1:2006, for Category 1; and
— requires activation by the operator before the lawnmower’s traction (if so equipped) and cutting-
means drive systems can be started; these functions shall be separate; and
— requires sustained activation by the operator to allow continued operation; and
— automatically activates the stopping of the cutting-means rotation and/or traction-drive system if
so equipped, when the operator releases the control device.

SIST EN ISO 5395-2:2014
ISO 5395-2:2013(E)
The sustained activation and release functions of the traction-drive OPC can be combined with the
cutting means OPC.
NOTE The hazards from failure of the OPC system as well as use of performance level (PL) are under review.
From a complete stop position, restart of the cutting-means rotation shall require two separate and
distinct actions. Activation of the OPC shall be one of the actions. If these actions are to be carried out
using the same hand, then the actions shall be separate and dissimilar to prevent accidental restarting
of the cutting means.
If the OPC is reactivated before the cutting means have stopped, the cutting means can resume operation
if there is sufficient kinetic energy to restart the engine.
