Overview

ISO 5395-3:2013/Amd 2:2017 is an amendment to the international standard that defines safety requirements for combustion-engine-powered ride-on lawnmowers with a seated operator. Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this amendment specifically focuses on cutting means enclosure guards, enhancing the safety features related to guarding the mower’s cutting components.

This document updates the original ISO 5395-3:2013 standard to improve protection against operator injury, ensure safer interaction with mower guards, and set clear performance and design criteria for those guards. It aligns with ISO’s global mission to establish industry best practices for garden equipment safety, particularly in powered lawnmowers.

Key Topics

  • Cutting Means Enclosure Guards
    The amendment provides detailed requirements for guards that enclose the cutting blades or other cutting means. Guards must prevent unintended access to moving parts, reducing injury risk.

  • Interlocking Guards and Opening Requirements
    Guards can be interlocked in accordance with ISO 14119:2013, preventing power application while guards are open or disengaged. Opening or detaching guards generally requires tools, with exceptions for safety interlocks and automatically closing guards.

  • Automatically Closing Guards
    Side discharge openings must have guards that automatically close and lock after removing discharge chutes or adapters, preventing accidental exposure of cutting parts. These must resist release forces and automatically return to a locked position.

  • Fixed Guards and Maintenance
    Fixed guards must be secured with systems that require tools to open or remove. Guards removable for maintenance must remain attached to the guard or machine to avoid misplacement.

  • Zero-Turn Lawn Mower Stability
    For zero-turn lawnmowers with mid-mounted cutting means and rollover protection structures (ROPS), minimum lateral and longitudinal stability angles of 20° and 25° respectively are required to ensure operational safety.

  • Technical Information for Users
    Instruction manuals must provide critical technical data including nominal power, engine speed, machine mass, cutting width, sound emission levels, and vibration values - enhancing user awareness of safety and operational impacts.

Applications

  • Manufacturers of Ride-on Lawn Mowers
    Compliance with ISO 5395-3:2013/Amd 2:2017 helps manufacturers design safer lawnmowers that meet global safety standards, reducing liability and improving customer trust.

  • Safety Inspectors and Regulatory Bodies
    This amendment serves as an authoritative reference for assessing the safety of ride-on lawnmowers during inspections, certification, and market surveillance.

  • Product Developers and Designers
    Engineers can integrate specified design principles for enclosure guards, interlocking devices, and stability requirements during product development.

  • End Users and Operators
    Clear guidance in the instruction manuals ensures safer operation by informing users about protective features, control limits, and maintenance precautions.

Related Standards

  • ISO 14119:2013 – Safety of machinery - Interlocking devices associated with guards - Principles for design and selection. This standard underpins requirements for interlocked guards in lawnmowers.

  • ISO 5395-1:2013 – Safety requirements for hand-held powered lawn and garden equipment including noise and vibration measurement methods referenced in the amendment.

  • ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and 2 – Provide the framework and editorial rules for developing and maintaining ISO standards like ISO 5395-3.

Key Takeaways

  • Enhanced Safety Guards protect operators from hazardous cutting parts with effective guard enclosure and locking mechanisms.
  • Interlocks and Automatic Closures prevent accidental exposure and power application while guards are open.
  • Robust Stability Requirements for zero-turn mowers ensure safer operation on sloped or uneven terrain.
  • Comprehensive User Information in technical manuals promotes informed and safer use of ride-on lawnmowers.
  • Industry Best Practices guided by ISO 5395-3:2013/Amd 2:2017 support global safety compliance and product quality in garden equipment manufacturing.

For manufacturers and safety professionals in garden equipment, adherence to ISO 5395-3:2013/Amd 2:2017 is essential for meeting international safety benchmarks related to combustion-engine-powered ride-on lawnmowers.
