EN 15811:2009
(Main)Agricultural machinery - Guards for moving parts of power transmission - Guard opening with tool (ISO/TS 28923:2007 modified)
General Information
- Abstract
This European Standard gives safety requirements, and the means of verifying them, for the design and construction of guards, only able to be opened with a tool, which are used to guard the moving parts of the power transmission 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.
It deals with the significant hazards (as listed in Annex A), hazardous situations and events relevant to guards of moving parts of power transmission used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clauses 4 and 5).
It is not applicable to guards for moving parts of the power transmission of:
- tractors,
- aircraft,
- air cushion vehicles, or
- lawn and garden equipment.
