Overview
ISO 17103:2009 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies test methods and acceptance criteria for protective skirts used on rotary disc mowers, rotary drum mowers, and flail mowers in agriculture. Protective skirts are critical safety components designed to safeguard operators and bystanders from debris and contact with moving cutting elements. This standard ensures consistent quality, reliability, and safety performance of these skirts through clearly defined mechanical testing procedures.
Key Topics
Test Methods for Protective Skirts
ISO 17103:2009 outlines three essential tests to evaluate the mechanical strength and durability of protective skirts:
Tensile Resistance Test:
Measures the ability of the skirt material to withstand tensile (pulling) forces. Samples are taken both horizontally and vertically, subjected to increasing tensile forces. The standard specifies minimum tensile resistance values based on the mower’s cutting element speed:- ≥ 6,000 N for machines with tip speeds ≤ 90 m/s
- ≥ 8,000 N for machines with tip speeds > 90 m/s
Perforation Resistance Test:
Assesses the skirt’s resistance to puncture through a controlled force applied by a punch on a clamped sample. Acceptance criteria include minimum average perforation force and energy required to perforate the material:- Minimum 2,500 N with 24 N·m energy for speeds ≤ 90 m/s
- Minimum 4,000 N with 30 N·m energy for speeds > 90 m/s
Wear Resistance Test:
Evaluates durability by subjecting a skirt sample to abrasive wear over repeated rotations against an abrasive wheel. Success criteria require reinforced skirts not to wear through reinforcement fibers and non-reinforced skirts to retain at least half their original thickness after 10,000 rotations.
Preparation and Testing Protocols
The standard details precise procedures for sample preparation, including dimensions, clamping methods, and testing device specifications. This ensures repeatability and reliability of test results across manufacturers and laboratories.
Applications
ISO 17103:2009 applies primarily to manufacturers, testing laboratories, and quality assurance personnel working with agricultural rotary mowers such as:
- Rotary Disc Mowers: Used for cutting grass and forage crops, where protective skirts mitigate hazards from high-speed cutting disc debris.
- Rotary Drum Mowers: Utilize one or more rotating drums with blades; skirts help contain thrown objects and protect mower components.
- Flail Mowers: Employ multiple small blades or flails; skirts prevent material ejection and promote operator safety.
Complying with ISO 17103 ensures agricultural machinery meets rigorous mechanical safety standards for protective skirts, helping prevent injuries and equipment damage during operation.
Related Standards
Professionals working with ISO 17103:2009 should also be familiar with associated standards referenced within the document, such as:
- ISO 525: Bonded abrasive products - General requirements, relevant to wear testing of protective skirts.
- ISO 845: Cellular plastics and rubbers - Determination of apparent density, applicable to sample preparation and wear test padding.
Moreover, ISO/TC 23/WG SC7 focuses on tractor and agricultural machinery safety standards, providing a broader context for protective device regulations and certification.

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 17103 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 23, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and
forestry, Subcommittee SC 7, Equipment for harvesting and conservation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 17103:2003), which has been technically
revised.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
