This European Standard was approved by CEN on 16 February 2020.

CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this
European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references
concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre or to any CEN
member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by
translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management
Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,

European foreword
This document (EN ISO 4254-6:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 23 "Tractors
and machinery for agriculture and forestry" in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 144
“Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry” the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2020, and conflicting national standards
shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2021.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN ISO 4254-6:2009.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— some excluded hazards have been deleted from the scope as they are covered by ISO 4254-1 or this
revised edition;
— the general (stability) requirements have been deleted as they are covered by ISO 4254-1;
— the protection of the operator against hazardous substances in case of front mounted booms has
been removed as this risk is relevant to all types of sprayers but appropriate requirements (in form
of an international reference standard) are not yet available; however, the protection of the driver
against spray when spraying is dealt with by the harmonized European standard EN 15695
(Agricultural tractors and self-propelled sprayers - Protection of the operator (driver) against
hazardous substances - Part 1: Cab classification, requirements and test procedures and Part 2:
Filters, requirements and test procedures) which is listed in the EU Official Journal under the
Machinery Directive 2006/42EU;
— in 4.6.2, the requirements for chemical inductions bowls have been amended to cover foldable
devices;
— in 4.7, requirements for protecting the operator in case of leakages have been added;
— a new subclause (4.12) to deal with the storage of personal protective equipment has been added;
— Clause 6 has been aligned with ISO 4254-1.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For the relationship with EU Directive(s) see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of
North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the
United Kingdom.
Endorsement notice
The text of ISO 4254-6:2020 has been approved by CEN as EN ISO 4254-6:2020 without any
modification.
Annex ZA
(informative)
Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential
Requirements of EU Directive 2006/42/EC aimed to be covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request "M/396
mandate to CEN and CENELEC for standardisation in the field of machinery" to provide one voluntary
means of conforming to essential requirements of the Directive 2006/42/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery.
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding Essential
Requirements, of that Directive and associated EFTA regulations.
