The machines are designed to process workpieces with flat surface and even thickness, in shape of panels or beams or frames, consisting of: a) solid wood; b) material with similar physical characteristics to wood (see ISO 19085-1:2021, 3.2); c) gypsum boards, gypsum bounded fibreboards; d) composite materials with core consisting of, e.g. polyurethane or mineral material; e) composite boards made from the materials listed above; f) all materials listed above, already lacquered. This document does not deal with hazards related to: — specific devices other than those listed above; — access through in-feed and out-feed openings of machines with a work piece height capacity greater than 700 mm; — systems for powered loading or unloading, or both, of the workpiece to or from a single machine; NOTE 2 Loading the machine manually includes manually placing the workpiece onto a conveyor directly controlled by the machine. Unloading the machine manually includes manually removing the workpiece from a conveyor directly controlled by the machine. — out-feed workpieces on machines with feed speed higher than 60 m/min; — interfacing of the machine with any other machine. This document is not applicable to machines intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere and to machines manufactured prior to the date of its publication.

Agricultural machinery - Safety - Part 6: Sprayers and liquid fertilizer distributors (ISO/DIS 4254-6:2026)

This document, to be used together with ISO 4254-1, specifies the safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of mounted, semi-mounted, trailed and self-propelled agricultural sprayers for use with plant protection products (PPP) and liquid fertilizer application, as placed on the market by the manufacturer and designed for a single operator only. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices (including residual risks) to be provided by the manufacturer. When requirements of this document are different from those which are stated in ISO 4254-1, the requirements of this document take precedence over the requirements of ISO 4254-1 for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this document. This document, taken together with ISO 4254-1, deals with significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to sprayers and liquid fertilizer distributors when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex A), excepting the hazards arising from: — protection of the driver against spray when spraying (see Foreword); — automatically actuated height adjustment systems; — the environment, other than noise; — moving parts for power transmission except strength requirements for guards and barriers. This document is not applicable to sprayers and liquid fertilizer distributors which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document.

Agricultural and forestry machinery – Combined firewood processors - Safety

This document specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of firewood processors, designed to be used for making firewood. Firewood processors are combined machinery that cut and then split the wood. This document covers machines where the cutting is done either by a chain blade or a circular saw, and splitting movement is done horizontally or near horizontally by one or more splitting wedges. If cutting or splitting is done by other means, e.g. by guillotine blade or vertical movement splitting, this document is not applicable. This document is not applicable for machinery, where the wood is required to be moved from cutting to the splitting by manual handing by the operator. This document deals with firewood processors that are designed in a way that only one operator carries out the work process, but it is foreseeable that other operators, e.g. for loading or unloading, will work on or close to the machine. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events relevant to these machines, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer. See Clause 4 for the list of significant hazards. This document is not applicable to machines which were manufactured before the date of its publication. This document is applicable for manually operated, semi-automatic and automatic firewood processors. This document is applicable to the following possible integral features of the firewood processor: - Integral outfeed conveyors - Integral infeed conveyors - Integral hold to run operated log lifting device Other accessories or added features of firewood processors are not covered by this document. These could be e.g.: - Separate conveyors or tables that are not integral parts of the machine - Other wood lifting equipment (e.g. winch or crane) - Other separate accessories of the machine, e.g. for cleaning the wood or packing the wood.
