Agricultural and forestry machinery - Solid fertilizer distributors - Safety
This European Standard, applied together with EN 1553:1999, specifies the safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of mounted, semi-mounted, trailed or self-propelled fertilizer distributors for solid fertilizer application, i.e. full width solid fertilizer distributors, solid fertilizer broadcasters, distributors with oscillating tube and line-distributors as well as solid fertilizer distributors driven by an auxiliary engine to be used by one operator only, used in agriculture, horticulture and in forestry. In addition, this European Standard specifies the type of information on safe working practices (including residual risks) to be provided by the manufacturer.
When requirements of this European Standard are different from those which are stated in EN 1553:1999 the requirements of this European Standard take precedence over the requirements of EN 1553:1999 for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this European Standard.
It does not apply to:
- combined seed and fertilizer drills;
- machines for distributing granulated pesticides;
- pedestrian controlled distributors;
- knapsack distributors.
This European Standard deals with all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to solid fertilizer distributors, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4), excepting the hazards arising from:
- inadequate lighting of moving/working area;
- inadequate visibility from drivers/operators position;
- inadequate seating;
- travelling functions (drive, braking etc.);
- rolling over;
- equipment for loading fertilizer into the machine;
- an auxiliary engine.
It is not applicable to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) nor to environmental hazards (except noise). These aspects are covered by EN 13739-1:2003, EN 13739-2:2003, EN 13740-1:2003 and EN 13740-2:2003.
Land- und Forstmaschinen - Mineraldüngerstreuer - Sicherheit
Diese Europäische Norm, gemeinsam mit EN 1553:1999 angewendet, enthält sicherheitstechnische Anforde¬rungen und deren Überprüfung für Gestaltung und Konstruktion von angebauten, aufgesattelten, gezogenen oder selbstfahrenden Düngerstreuern zum Ausbringen von Mineraldünger, z. B. Ausleger-Mineral¬dünger¬streuer, Wurf-Mineraldüngerstreuer, Mineraldüngerstreuer mit Pendelrohr und Reihen-Mineraldüngerstreuer sowie Mineraldüngerstreuer mit Hilfsmotor für die Benutzung durch nur eine Bedienungsperson in Landwirtschaft, Gartenbau und Forstwirtschaft. Außerdem gibt diese Europäische Norm Informationen über sicheres Arbeiten (einschließlich Restgefährdungen), die vom Hersteller zur Verfügung zu stellen sind.
Wenn Anforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm von den Anforderungen in EN 1553:1999 abweichen, haben die Anforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm Vorrang gegenüber den Anforderungen von EN 1553:1999 für Maschinen, die nach den Bestimmungen dieser Europäischen Norm konzipiert und gebaut worden sind.
Sie gilt nicht für:
- kombinierte Sämaschinen mit Düngerausbringung;
- Maschinen zur Ausbringung granulierter Pestizide;
- handgeführte Düngerstreuer;
- rückentragbare Düngerstreuer.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und Gefähr-dungsereignisse von Mineraldüngerstreuern, wenn sie wie beabsichtigt und entsprechend den vom Hersteller vorgesehenen Bedingungen verwendet wird (siehe Abschnitt 4), mit Ausnahme der Gefährdungen durch:
- unangemessene Beleuchtung des Arbeitsbereichs;
- unangemessene Sicht von der Fahrer-/Bedienerposition;
- ungeeigneter Sitz;
- Verfahren der Maschine (Fahren, Bremsen, usw.);
- Umsturz;
- Ausrüstungen zum Laden von Dünger in die Maschine, falls vorhanden;
- einen Hilfsmotor.
Sie gilt nicht für elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit (EMV), noch für Umweltgefährdungen (ausgenommen Geräusche). Diese Aspekte werden durch EN 13739-1:2003, EN 13739-2:2003, EN 13740-1:2003 und EN 13740-2:2003 abgede

les distributeurs à tube oscillant et les distributeurs d'engrais solides en lignes, ainsi que les distributeurs d'engrais
solides entraînés par un moteur auxiliaire conçus pour un seul opérateur et utilisés en agriculture, en horticulture et
en sylviculture. En outre, la présente Norme européenne spécifie le type d'informations que le fabricant doit donner
sur les pratiques d'utilisation sûre (y compris les risques résiduels).
Lorsque des dispositions de la présente Norme européenne sont différentes de celles mentionnées
dans l'EN 1553:1999, les dispositions de la présente Norme européenne prennent le pas sur les dispositions
de l'EN 1553:1999, pour les machines qui ont été conçues et fabriquées suivant les dispositions de la présente
Norme européenne.
Il ne s'applique pas :
- aux semoirs combinés pour grains et engrais ;
- aux matériels de distribution de pesticides en granulés ;
- aux distributeurs à conducteur à pied ;
- aux distributeurs portés à dos.
La présente Norme européenne traite tous les phénomènes dangereux, situations et événements dangereux
significatifs engendrés par les distributeurs d’engrais solides lorsqu'ils sont utilisés normalement et dans les
conditions prévues par le fabricant (voir Article 4), sauf pour les phénomènes dangereux engendrés par :
- l’inadéquation de l'éclairage de la zone de mobilité / travail ;
- l’inadéquation de la visibilité depuis le poste de conduite / de travail ;
- l’inadéquation du siège ;
- les fonctions de déplacement (transmission, freinage, etc.) ;
- le retournement ;
- les équipements de chargement de l’engrais dans la machine ;
