Overview
ISO 5395-2:2013/Amd 1:2016 is an important international standard issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) focusing on safety requirements for combustion-engine-powered pedestrian-controlled lawnmowers. This amendment (Amendment 1) updates and enhances safety protocols related to operator presence controls (OPC), cutting means, and pressurized hydraulic hoses. It complements the original Part 2 standard published in 2013, reinforcing critical safety functions and ensuring lawnmower designs minimize risk during operation.
This standard is developed by ISO Technical Committee TC 23/Subcommittee SC 13, which specializes in machinery for agriculture and forestry. The aim is to establish clear, well-tested safety principles for manufacturers and users of pedestrian-controlled lawnmowers to reduce accidents and injuries.
Key Topics
Operator Presence Control (OPC):
The amendment mandates that lawnmowers be equipped with reliable OPC devices that require the user to actively engage controls prior to starting and continuing operation. These controls must:- Use well-tried principles and components proven for safety;
- Separate starting procedures for traction and cutting drive systems;
- Automatically stop cutting or traction drives when control is released;
- Require two distinct, deliberate actions to restart the cutting mechanism from a stopped state to prevent accidental activation.
OPCs play a vital role in ensuring the mower only operates under direct user control, enhancing operator safety.
Cutting Means Impact Resistance:
Lawn mowers must pass rigorous impact tests simulating sudden contact with obstacles. The mower should:- Withstand impacts without the cutting means penetrating targets or detaching;
- Avoid breakage or detachment of critical cutting components;
- Use drive shearing devices and cutting-edge chips cautiously, with exceptions outlined for minor damages.
These precautions limit hazardous failures during normal use or unexpected collisions.
Pressurized Hydraulic Hoses:
Specific requirements address hoses operating over 5,000 kPa or those between 500 kPa and 5,000 kPa with fluid temperatures exceeding 50 °C near the operator zone. Such hoses must be shielded or positioned so rupture cannot spray hazardous fluid onto the operator, reducing risk of injury from high-pressure leaks.
Applications
ISO 5395-2:2013/Amd 1:2016 applies primarily to manufacturers, designers, and safety regulators involved in:
- Pedestrian-controlled lawnmowers with combustion engines, ensuring these machines meet high safety standards;
- Designing operator presence controls that effectively prevent unattended operation and accidental restarts;
- Engineering hydraulic systems and hoses with protective measures against fluid discharge hazards close to the user;
- Testing cutting component durability to help prevent dangerous failures during usage.
Compliance with this standard improves workplace safety in gardening, landscaping, and grounds maintenance industries worldwide. It benefits OEMs by helping them demonstrate conformity to internationally recognized safety protocols, supporting market access and user confidence.
Related Standards
- ISO 5395-1:2013 – Safety requirements for ride-on lawnmowers, referenced for cutting means impact testing;
- ISO 13849-1:2015 – Safety-related parts of control systems - General design principles, cited for operator presence control design guidance;
- ISO/IEC Directives – Guidelines on standard development and maintenance adopted during the amendment process.
These interconnected standards form a comprehensive safety framework for powered lawn and garden equipment, addressing control systems, mechanical robustness, and operator protection.
Adhering to ISO 5395-2:2013/Amd 1:2016 fosters safer pedestrian-controlled lawnmower designs by integrating proven, reliable operator presence controls, enhancing cutting component resilience, and safeguarding against pressurized hydraulic hazards. This standard elevates safety expectations for garden equipment manufacturers and users globally.
