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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 10517:2009), which has been technically
revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 10517:2009/Amd 1:2013. The main changes compared
to the previous edition are as follows:
— the noise measurement procedure has been removed from the body of the document and has been
replaced with the reference to ISO 22868;
— the vibration measurement procedure has been removed from the body of the document and has
been replaced with the reference to ISO 22867;
— handle strength requirement has been added;
— extended-reach hedge trimmers have been better implemented in the body of the document;
— a test for the labels has been added;
— several text changes have been made for better understanding.

Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate in the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events

This document is also applicable to ”split-boom” type hedge trimmers and to multi-purpose machines
when configured as a hedge trimmer.
It establishes methods for the elimination or reduction of hazards arising from the use of the hedge
trimmers. In addition, it specifies the type of information to be provided by the manufacturer on safe
working practices.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to powered
hand-held hedge trimmers when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse that are
reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
