Introduction

The structure of safety standards in the field of machinery is as follows.

a) Type-A standards (basic standards) give basic concepts, principle for design,

and general aspects that can be applied to machinery;

b) Type-B standards (generic safety standards) dealing with one or more safety

aspect(s) or one or more type(s) of safeguards that can be used across a wide

range of machinery.

temperature, noise);

pressure sensitive devices, guards);

c) Type-C standards (machinery safety standards) dealing with detailed safety

requirements for a particular machine or group of machines.

This part is a type-C standard as stated in GB 15706.1-2007.

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 GB 10395. These

hazards are specific to self-propelled ride-on, trailed, semi-mounted and mounted

agricultural machines.

Agricultural Machinery –

Safety – Part 1. General Requirements

1 Application Scope

This part of GB 10395 specifies the general safety requirements and their verification

for the design and construction of self-propelled ride-on machines and mounted,

semi-mounted or trailed machines 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 deals with significant hazards (as listed in Annex A), hazardous situations

and events relevant to this agricultural machinery used as intended and under the

conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).

This part of GB 10395 is not applicable to environmental hazards, road safety,

electromagnetic compatibility, or to the power take-off (PTO) drive shaft; neither is it

applicable to moving parts for power transmission except for strength requirements for

guards and barriers (see 4.7), nor to vibration except in respect of declarations.

It is not applicable to hazards related to maintenance or repairs to be carried out by

professional service personnel.

This part of GB 10395 is applicable to agricultural machinery, lawn and garden

powered machinery.

All of the hazards dealt with by this Part of GB 10395 will not necessarily be present

on a particular machine. For any machine covered by this Part of GB 10395, the

provisions of the part of GB 10395 directly applicable to that type of machine, if

available, take precedence over the provisions of this Part of GB 10395.
