Foreword
This document (prEN 690:2010) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 144 “Tractors and
machinery for agriculture and forestry”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 690:1994+A1:2009.
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 relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as specified in EN ISO 12100-1.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this
document. These hazards are specified to manure spreaders.
Hazards that are common to all agricultural machines (self-propelled, mounted, semi-mounted and trailed) are
dealt with in EN ISO 4254-1.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated by type A or B standards,
the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for
machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
1 Scope
This European Standard, to be used together with ISO 4254-1, specifies safety requirements and their
verification for design and construction of self-propelled, mounted and trailed manure spreaders, provided with
vertical or horizontal axes rotors rear spreader device or with horizontal or vertical axes disc lateral spreader
device. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the
manufacturer (the residual risks are enclosed).
When requirements of this document are different from those which are stated in EN ISO 4254-1, the
requirements of this document take precedence over the requirements of EN ISO 4254-1 for machines that
have been designed and built according the provisions of this document.
This document, taken together with ISO 4254-1, deals with all the significant hazards, hazardous situations
and events (as listed in Table 1),relevant to manure spreaders, when they are used as intended and under the
conditions of reasonable foreseeable misuse except the hazards arising from:
 travelling function of self-propelled machinery;
 overturning in regard to the protection of the operator at the driving station of a self-propelled machine.
NOTE 1 This standard does not cover requirements for road traffic regulations.This document does not apply to
manure spreading with lateral spreading device made of chain-awner.
NOTE 2 Environmental aspects are covered by EN 13080.This document is not applicable to manure
spreaders which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.

4 List of significant hazards
This table specifies the significant hazard(s), significant hazardous situation(s) and significant hazardous
event(s) covered by this document that have been identified by risk assessment as being significant for this
type of machine and which require specific action by the designer or manufacturer to eliminate or reduce the
risk.
Attention is drawn to the necessity to verify that the safety requirements specified in this document apply to
each significant hazard presented by a given machine and to validate that the risk assessment is complete.
