Garden equipment - Safety requirements for combustion-engine-powered lawnmowers - Part 3: Ride-on lawnmowers with seated operator (ISO 5395-3:2013)
ISO 5395-3:2013 specifies safety requirements and their verification for combustion-engine-powered ride-on (seated) rotary lawnmowers and cylinder lawnmowers (hereafter named "lawnmower"), and equipped with: metallic cutting means; and/or non-metallic cutting means with one or more cutting elements pivotally mounted on a generally circular drive unit, where these cutting elements rely on centrifugal force to achieve cutting, and have a kinetic energy for each single cutting element of 10 J or more. It does not apply to: robotic and remote-controlled lawnmowers, flail mowers, grassland mowers, sickle bar mowers, towed/semi-mounted grass-cutting machines, and scrub-clearing machines; cutting-means assembly when used in combination with an agricultural tractor; electrically powered and battery-powered lawnmowers. ISO 5395-3:2013 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or events relevant to lawnmowers when used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. It is not applicable to lawnmowers which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document.
EN ISO 5395-3:2013 (ISO 5395-3:2013) is the CEN-adopted international standard that specifies safety requirements and verification for combustion-engine-powered ride-on (seated) lawnmowers. It covers both rotary and cylinder ride-on lawnmowers fitted with metallic cutting means or non‑metallic cutting elements mounted on a circular drive unit that rely on centrifugal force and have a kinetic energy of ≥ 10 J per cutting element. This type‑C standard (per ISO 12100) addresses all significant hazards when machines are used as intended and under reasonably foreseeable misuse.
The standard organizes requirements and tests across system and component areas, including:
Normative annexes include procedures for stability testing and for determining contact with moving power‑driven components; an informative annex lists significant hazards.
EN ISO 5395-3:2013 is used by:
Стандарты, упомянутые в описании
Using this standard helps reduce risks from cutting‑means impact, rollovers, operator ejection, thrown debris, and exposure to noise, vibration and exhaust.
