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 4254-9 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 23, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and
forestry, Subcommittee SC 3, and by Technical Committee CEN/TC 144, Tractors and machinery for
agriculture and forestry in collaboration.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (2008), has been technically revised.
ISO 4254 consists of the following parts, under the general title Agricultural machinery — Safety:
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 mowers and flail mowers
Part 2, Anhydrous ammonia applicators, has been withdrawn, Part 3, Tractors, has been cancelled and
replaced by ISO 26322 (all parts), Tractors for agriculture and forestry — Safey, and Part 4, Forestry winches,
has been cancelled and replaced by ISO 19472, Machinery for forestry — Winches — Dimensions,

Introduction
The structure of safety standards in the field of machinery is as follows.
Type-A standards (basis standards) give basic concepts, principles for design, and general aspects that
can be applied to machinery.
Type-B standards (generic safety standards) deal with one or more safety aspects or one or more types
of safeguards that can be used across a wide range of machinery:
type-B1 standards on particular safety aspects (e.g. safety distances, surface temperature, noise);
type-B2 standards on safeguards (e.g. two-hands controls, interlocking devices, pressure sensitive
devices, guards);
Type-C standards (machinery safety standards) deal with detailed safety requirements for a particular
machine or group of machines.
This part of ISO 4254 is a type-C standard as stated in ISO 12100.
When provisions of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the provisions of this type-C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards
for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type-C standard.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this part of ISO 4254. These hazards are specific to seed drills.
Significant hazards that are common to all the agricultural machines (self-propelled, mounted, semi-mounted
and trailed) are dealt with in ISO 4254-1.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 4254-9
Agricultural machinery — Safety — Part 9: Seed drills
1 Scope
This part of ISO 4254, intended to be used together with ISO 4254-1, specifies the safety requirements, and
their verification for design and construction, of mounted, semi-mounted, trailed or self-propelled seed drills,
including the seeding function of combined seed and fertilizer drills, and seed drills with integrated and
inseparable powered soil-working tools used in agriculture. In addition, it specifies the type of information on
safe working practices (including residual risks) to be provided by the manufacturer.
This part of ISO 4254 is (also) applicable to seeding systems where components for seed deposition in the
soil, for seed metering and for seed storage are distributed between two or more linked vehicles.
This part of ISO 4254 deals with all the significant hazards (as listed in Annex A), hazardous situations and
events relevant to seed drills, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the
manufacturer, excepting the hazards arising from:
electrostatic phenomena;
external influences on electrical equipment;
failure of energy supply;
failure, malfunction of control system;
inadequate visibility from drivers/operators position;
travelling functions (drive, braking etc.);
break-up of parts rotating at high speed;
equipment for loading seeds (and fertilizer).
This part of ISO 4254 is not applicable to:
fertilizer distributors designed only for solid fertilizer application (dealt with in ISO 4254-8);
This part of ISO 4254 is not applicable to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) nor to environmental hazards
(except noise).
This part of ISO 4254 is not applicable to seed drills which are manufactured before the date of its publication.
When requirements of this part of ISO 4254 are different from those which are stated in ISO 4254-1 the
requirements of this part of ISO 4254 take precedence over the requirements of ISO 4254-1 for machines that
have been designed and built according to the provisions of this part of ISO 4254.
