1 Scope
This document specifies safety requirements for the design and manufacture of self-propelled, mounted, semi-mounted and trailed agricultural machinery, and describes the corresponding verification methods for these safety requirements. This document specifies the type of safety operating information (including information on residual risks) to be provided by the manufacturer. This document identifies significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events (see Appendix A) for agricultural machinery during normal operation and maintenance when used as intended and under conditions of foreseeable misuse by the manufacturer.
This document applies to the design, manufacture, inspection and testing of self-propelled, mounted, semi-mounted and trailed agricultural machinery.
This document does not apply to the following agricultural machinery:
— Agricultural and forestry tractors;
— Agricultural aircraft and hovercraft;
— Lawn and garden machinery;
— Machine-specific components or functions (e.g., working tools and/or working processes);
— Machinery with specific performance levels.
This document does not cover hazards associated with periodic service, machine replacement and repair carried out by professional service personnel, nor hazards related to environmental dangers, road safety (e.g., steering, braking), or power take-off (PTO) universal joint drive shafts; it also does not cover guards for power transmission moving parts (except for strength requirements of guards and barriers).

3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 15706-2012 and the following apply.
3.1
normal operation
Use of the machine by an operator familiar with its characteristics, in accordance with the operating information and safety instructions provided in the manufacturer's instruction handbook and on the machine, to achieve the intended use as defined by the manufacturer.
Note: Normal operation includes machine preparation and storage, such as:
— mounting and dismounting;
— swinging components into or out of the working position;
— adding or removing ballast and attaching or detaching accessories;
— loading items and materials required and consumed during machine use (e.g., twine rolls, seed, fertilizer, water and pesticides);
— adjusting and setting the machine, or coupling the tractor and machine for specific field and/or crop conditions;
— clearing crop blockages or accumulated debris.
3.2
service
Operations carried out as needed and/or periodically by personnel familiar with the machine's characteristics, in accordance with the service information and safety instructions provided in the manufacturer's instruction handbook and on the machine, to maintain the machine's normal function.
Note: Service includes operations such as refuelling, cleaning, washing, filling of operating fluids, lubrication, adjustment (e.g., belt and chain adjustment), and replacement of consumables like bulbs and wearing parts (e.g., cutting parts).
3.3
three-point contact
A system enabling a person to simultaneously use both hands and one foot, or both feet and one hand, when getting on/off the machine or when dismounting machine components.
3.4
inadvertent contact
Accidental exposure of a person to a hazard caused by their own actions during normal operation and service of the machine.
3.5
hand reach
A spherical zone with a radius of 1000 mm, formed by the position of the hand on the seat centreline as defined by the seat index point (SIP) specified in GB/T 6236 and the interior area of the cab (if present).
Note 1: For machines without a cab, the hand reach zone is a sphere with a radius of 1000 mm, centered at a point located 60 mm forward and 580 mm above the seat index point (SIP) as defined in GB/T 6236, on the seat centreline, see Figure 1.
Note 2: For machines with a cab, the hand reach zone is inside the cab, a sphere with a radius of 1000 mm, centered at a point located 60 mm forward and 580 mm above the seat index point (SIP) as defined in GB/T 6236, on the seat centreline.
3.6
foot reach
A downward-extending hemispherical zone with a radius of 800 mm, formed by the position of the foot on the seat centreline as defined by the seat index point (SIP) specified in GB/T 6236 and the interior area of the cab (if present).
Note 1: For machines without a cab, the foot reach zone is a downward hemisphere with a radius of 800 mm, centered at the intersection of the seat centreline and the front edge of the seat cushion, with the seat in its mid-position, see Figure 1.
