This document specifies principles for the design of obstacle protective systems used in agricultural machinery and tractors that are used in agricultural applications and that have partially automated, semi-autonomous and autonomous functions. Additionally, it provides guidance on the type of information to be provided by the manufacturer on safe working practices (including information about residual risks). The purpose of this document is to assist in the provision of more specific safety requirements, means of verification and information for use to ensure an appropriate level of safety for agricultural machinery and tractors with partially automated, semi-autonomous and autonomous functions used in a specified way. This document deals with the significant hazards relevant to agricultural machinery and tractors with partially automated, semi-autonomous and autonomous functions when used as intended and under the conditions of misuse reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer during normal operation and service. Applicability of the design principles and any additional detailed requirements for design, verification, validation or information for use are outside the scope of this document. When risk assessment concludes that hazards are not significant hazards, the principles of this document do not apply. NOTE Safety requirements for specific non-automated functions of agricultural machinery and tractors can be available in machine-specific type-C standards. This document is not applicable to: — forestry applications; — operations on public roads including relevant requirements for braking and steering systems. This document is not applicable to agricultural machinery and tractors which are manufactured before the date of its publication, or to systems applied to agricultural machinery and tractors put into use before the date of its publication.
Abstract
Overview
ISO 18497-2:2024 - "Agricultural machinery and tractors - Safety of partially automated, semi-autonomous and autonomous machinery - Part 2: Design principles for obstacle protection systems" - specifies design principles and manufacturer guidance for obstacle protective systems on agricultural machinery and tractors with partially automated, semi-autonomous or autonomous functions. This type‑B1 ISO standard focuses on reducing significant hazards from person and obstacle contact during intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse. It excludes forestry applications, public-road operations, and machines placed in service before publication.
Key Topics
- Scope & applicability: Applies when risk assessment (per ISO 12100) identifies significant contact hazards; if hazards are not significant the principles do not apply.
- Design principles: High‑level requirements for obstacle detection, perception and supervisory systems used as protective measures.
- Perception systems: Guidance on technologies and performance considerations for sensing obstacles (see informative Annex A and C).
- Operational limits: Defining operating conditions and limits for perception/supervisory systems to maintain safety.
- Human-machine indications: Requirements for visual and audible indications in partially automated and semi‑autonomous modes (manual mode).
- Monitoring & fault handling: Principles for supervising system health, detecting faults/failures and managing transitions to safe states.
- Labelling and information for use: Manufacturer obligations for warnings, safe working practices and residual risk information.
- Informative annexes: Annex A (perception technologies), Annex B (warning and hazard zone design recommendations), Annex C (obstacle detection performance).
Practical Applications
- Use by agricultural machinery and tractor manufacturers to design obstacle protection systems that reduce contact risks in automated functions.
- Reference for system integrators and electronics developers implementing perception, supervisory and fail‑safe logic for on‑field automation.
- Guidance for safety engineers performing risk assessments and defining operational limits and human interfaces for semi‑autonomous equipment.
- Aid for regulatory bodies, market surveillance and maintenance/service providers to interpret manufacturer information and verify safe use.
Who Should Use This Standard
- Machine manufacturers (OEMs)
- Safety and compliance engineers
- System integrators and suppliers of sensors/perception systems
- Regulators, health & safety bodies, and testing organizations
- Standards developers creating machine‑specific (type‑C) standards
