Agricultural machinery and tractors - Safety of partially automated, semi-autonomous and autonomous machinery - Part 4: Verification methods and validation principles (ISO 18497-4:2024); German version EN ISO 18497-4:2024

Abstract

This document specifies principles for the design of autonomous operating zones 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 all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, relevant to agricultural machinery and tractors with partially automated, semi-autonomous and autonomous functions when used as intended and under the conditions of misuse foreseeable by the manufacturer during normal operation and service. While this document gives principles for the design, verification, validation and provision of information for use, the detailed requirements are dependent on the use case. Therefore, the design principles given in this document need to be extended and clarified by the use of relevant specific (type-C) standards, when available, or by the manufacturer of the machine using a risk assessment. Applicability of the design principles and any additional requirements, for design, verification, validation or information for use are outside the scope of this document.
