Agricultural machinery - Safety - Part 12: Rotary disc and drum mowers and flail mowers (ISO 4254-12:2012)

ISO 4254-12:2012, where used with ISO 4254-1, specifies the safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of rotary disc mowers, rotary drum mowers, as used for forage crop harvesting in agriculture only, and flail mowers with a horizontal axis for use in agriculture only, that are mounted, semi-mounted, trailed or self-propelled. It describes methods for the elimination or reduction of hazards arising from the intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of these machines by one person (the operator) in the course of normal operation and service. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the manufacturer.
Flail mowers with a horizontal axis that can be opened at the rear only for maintenance reasons are included.
ISO 4254-12:2012 is also applicable to mowers equipped with a conditioning device and only to mowers intended to work at ground level.
ISO 4254-12:2012, taken together with ISO 4254-1, deals with all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events (with the exception of noise and vibrations) relevant to rotary disc mowers, rotary drum mowers and flail mowers, when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse that are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
It is not applicable to flail mowers that have the rear part which can be opened for particular field use operations, mowers with an articulated arm, mowers with one or more vertical axes designed for mulching, pedestrian-controlled motor mowers, lawn mowers, inter-row mowing units and machines specifically designed for highway and road maintenance.

Landmaschinen - Sicherheit - Teil 12: Kreiselmähwerke und Schlegelmäher (ISO 4254-12:2012)

Dieser Teil von ISO 4254, sofern gemeinsam mit ISO 4254-1 angewendet, legt die sicherheitstechnischen Anforderungen und deren Überprüfung hinsichtlich der Gestaltung und konstruktiven Ausführung von Scheiben  und Trommelmähwerke (Kreiselmähwerke) für die Ernte von Futterpflanzen und für Schlegelmäher mit horizontaler Achse, die nur in der Landwirtschaft zum Einsatz kommen, die nur in der Landwirtschaft zum Einsatz kommen und die angebaut, aufgesattelt, gezogen oder selbstfahrend sind, fest. Sie beschreibt Maßnahmen zur Vermeidung oder Verminderung von Gefährdungen, die sich aus der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung und der vernünftigerweise vorhersehbaren Fehlanwendung dieser Maschinen im Rahmen des normalen Betriebes und der Wartung durch eine Person (Bedienungsperson) ergeben. Außerdem legt sie die Art von Informationen über sichere Arbeitsbedingungen fest, die vom Hersteller zur Verfügung zu stellen sind.

ISO 4254-12:2012(E)
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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
ISO 4254-12 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 23, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and
forestry, Subcommittee SC 7, Equipment for harvesting and conservation.
ISO 4254 consists of the following parts, under the general title Agricultural machinery — Safety:
1)
 Part 1: General requirements
 Part 5: Power-driven soil-working machines
 Part 6: Sprayers and liquid fertilizer distributors
 Part 7: Combine harvesters, forage harvesters and cotton harvesters
 Part 8: Solid fertilizer distributors
 Part 9: Seed drills
 Part 10: Rotary tedders and rakes
 Part 11: Pick-up balers
 Part 12: Rotary disc and drum mowers and flail mowers
2)
 Part 13: Large rotary mowers
