65.060.80 - Forestry equipment

This document specifies a test method and corresponding performance requirements for saw chain shot protective windows on forestry machines equipped with a chain saw for cutting, harvesting or processing as defined in ISO 6814. It also applies to machines that have been modified to perform cutting, harvesting or processing (such as excavator) with a chain saw cutting attachment.

This document specifies the dimensions and clearances for front hand-guards and their openings on portable hand-held chain-saws. These dimensions and clearances ensure the necessary safety provided by the hand-guard, which serves as both a shield between the operator's hand and the saw-chain and as an actuator for manually operated chain brakes. For chain-saws with wrap around handles (see Figure 1), this document is not applicable to the portion of the front handle to the right (when viewed fro...view more

This document specifies the mechanical strength and dimension requirements, and the corresponding test method for the chain catcher of chain-saws.

This document specifies safety requirements and their verification for design and construction of transportable, i.e. self-propelled, mounted, semi-mounted and trailed, wood chippers used in forestry, agriculture, horticulture and landscaping.
This document applies to chippers, used when stationary, which are manually loaded with wood through a horizontal or near horizontal infeed chute and where the infeed action is performed by the chipping components acting as infeed components and by separat...view more

EN-IEC 62841-4-1 applies to chain saws for cutting wood and designed for use by one person. This standard does not cover chain saws designed for use in conjunction with a guide-plate and riving knife or in any other way such as with a support or as a stationary or transportable machine. This standard does not apply to - chain saws for tree service as defined in ISO 11681-2; or - pole-mounted pruners. The chain saws covered by this standard are designed only to be operated with the right hand on ...view more

This European standard specifies the additional requirements in respect to radio remote control systems that are used in forestry machinery. The fundamental requirements are defined in the standard IEC 62745. Radio remote control systems for the following forestry machines are discussed in this standard:
- Forestry cable winches according to EN ISO 19472, winches with outriggers for forestry trailers, log splitters and cutting splitters as well as hauling winches;
- Self-propelled machinery for ...view more

This European standard specifies the additional requirements for cableless control systems that are used in forestry machinery. The fundamental requirements are defined in the standard prEN 62745. Cableless control systems for the following forestry machines are treated in this standard:
-   forestry cable winches according to ISO 19472, winches for log splitters;
-   self-propelled machinery for forestry according to EN ISO 11850 (machines for felling, moving and debranching, forwarders, log load...view more

This document defines terms relating to portable hand-held brush-cutters and grass-trimmers, their cutting attachments and power sources. The brush-cutter position is shown in Annex A.

This document specifies the methodology for determining the kickback potential of gasoline-powered and electric-powered (including battery powered) chain-saws, complete with guide bar and saw-chain. This document has been demonstrated to be an accurate method of measurement for evaluating computed kickback angles and energy associated with chain-saw kickback for electric-powered chain-saws (including battery powered) and gasoline-powered chain-saws with engine capacity up to 80 cm3. It is not in...view more

ISO 13772:2018 specifies a method for checking the functioning and performance of the non-manually actuated chain brake on an electric or gasoline engine powered, portable hand-held chain-saw.

ISO 6531:2017 defines terms relating to the mechanical aspects of portable chain-saws, saw-chain and guide bars. The chain-saw positions are shown in Annex A.

This European Standard specifies safety requirements, and their verification for the design and construction of wedge splitters, designed to be used (operated?) by one operator for splitting logs for firewood, irrespective of the nature of the power source used. Automatic or semi-automatic wedge splitters are to be included within the scope of the standard. Firewood processors are excluded from the scope of the standard.
This standard describes methods for the elimination or reduction of risks ...view more

This European Standard specifies the safety requirements, and their verification for the design and construction of horizontal and vertical wedge splitters, designed for splitting logs for firewood, irrespective of the nature of the power source used. This standard deals with wedge splitters that are designed so that the splitting operation is activated by one person only, however it is foreseeable that other operators may be working with the machine e.g. for loading or unloading. In addition, i...view more

ISO 3767-4:2016 standardizes symbols for use on operator controls and other displays on forestry machinery.

ISO 3767-5:2016 standardizes symbols for use specifically on operator controls and other displays on manual portable forestry machines such as chain saws and brush saws.
