Overview
SIST EN ISO 5395-2:2014/A2:2017 is an internationally recognized amendment under the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST). This standard, titled Garden equipment - Safety requirements for combustion-engine-powered lawnmowers - Part 2: Pedestrian-controlled lawnmowers - Amendment 2: Cutting means enclosure guards, specifies additional safety requirements for pedestrian-controlled lawnmowers, focusing on the enclosure guards for cutting mechanisms.
The amendment aligns with ISO 5395-2:2013/Amd 2:2017, providing enhanced guidance to manufacturers, suppliers, and regulators involved in the design and production of combustion-engine-powered, pedestrian-controlled lawnmowers. Its aim is to mitigate equipment-related hazards, especially those arising from unguarded or easily accessed cutting means.
Key Topics
- Cutting Means Enclosure Guards: Clarifies requirements for the design, construction, and functionality of enclosures and guards surrounding lawnmower cutting mechanisms.
- Guard Operation and Access:
- Guards should only be opened or removed with a tool, except for:
- Interlocked guards preventing access until moving parts stop.
- Automatically closing guards for side discharge, which must lock securely, require distinct unlocking actions, and withstand specific force tests.
- Guards for discharge chutes that maintain position during normal operation.
- Guards should only be opened or removed with a tool, except for:
- Compliance and Testing:
- Compliance is verified through inspection, functional testing, and measurement.
- Includes detailed procedures for the “foot protection test” using specific access points and probe measurements, referencing ISO 5395-1:2013.
- Technical Documentation:
- Manufacturer instructions must detail technical data, such as engine power, operating speed, mass, cutting width, and emission (noise and vibration) data, to meet health and safety regulations.
- Connection to EU Machinery Directive:
- Supports compliance with the EU Directive 2006/42/EC and its amendments for essential machinery safety requirements, thus enabling a presumption of conformity for products placed on the European market.
Applications
- Manufacturer Guidelines: Offers specific, actionable requirements for manufacturers of combustion-engine-powered, pedestrian-controlled lawnmowers regarding the enclosure and guarding of cutting means. This includes requirements for the mechanical integrity and user-interaction design of guards.
- Product Testing: Provides standardized procedures for safety testing, including guard operation, resistance to force application, and access restriction to hazardous parts, ensuring consistent safety assurance.
- Market Compliance: Assists manufacturers and importers in demonstrating conformity with both ISO and European safety directives, facilitating easier market access within the EU and ensuring products meet current safety benchmarks.
- User Safety Assurance: Ultimately, the standard aims to minimize accidents related to unguarded cutting blades, significantly reducing the risk of foot or hand injuries for end-users.
Related Standards
- ISO 5395-1:2013 – General safety requirements for combustion-engine-powered lawnmowers, referenced for test protocols and technical data.
- ISO 14119 – Safety of machinery: Interlocking devices associated with guards, referenced for interlocked guard requirements.
- EN ISO 5395-2:2013 – The parent European standard for combustion-engine-powered, pedestrian-controlled lawnmowers.
- EU Directive 2006/42/EC – Machinery Safety Directive.
- EN ISO 5395-3 – Covers ride-on powered lawnmowers, complementing the pedestrian-controlled focus of Part 2.
By following SIST EN ISO 5395-2:2014/A2:2017, manufacturers ensure their lawnmowers address essential safety requirements, protect users, and comply with both international and European regulations on garden equipment safety.
