This standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of soil working machines, mounted or trailed, with tools powered by the engine of the tractor or by
an auxiliary motor. It is applicable regardless of the type of movement of the tools. This standard is not applicable to: spading machines, pedestrian controlled soil working machines, machines where the tools are driven by movement of the machine over the ground, machines fitted with a retractable device, making them capable of working between two successive plants in the same row.
It describes methods for elimination or reduction of risks which need specific requirements for soil working machines with powered tools. It does not deal with general hazards particularly general
hazards related to the mobility. These aspects will be dealt with in an other standard produced by CEN/TC 144 (see introduction).
In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the manufacturer.
The list of significant hazards dealt with in this standard is given in annex A. Annex A also indicates the hazards which have not been dealt with.
NOTE : The measures for safeguarding for the PT0 shaft are dealt with in the Common requirements standard being prepared by CEN/TC 144.
Environmental aspects have not been considered in this standard.
This standard applies primarily to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of the standard.
