Overview

This standard defines relevant requirements set out in Annex I of EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, relating to machines which were placed on the European Economic Area (EEA) market for the first time, with the intent of simplifying the means of proving conformity with these requirements. Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, it is deemed a “harmonized” standard and thus, a manufacturer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive ("presumption of conformity"). This part of ISO 16230 is applicable to tractors and self-propelled ride-on machines, mounted implements, and towed implements used in agriculture and forestry. This part of ISO 16230 specifies general requirements that relate to the protection and safety of operators and bystanders on machines with onboard voltages in the range of 50 V AC to 1000 V AC and 75 V DC to 1500 V DC. This part of ISO 16230 applies to electrical equipment and parts of the electrical equipment on such machines and includes general requirements related to the protection and safety of operators, bystanders, and first responders. This part of ISO 16230 deals with significant hazards, hazardous situations, and events, as listed in Annex A, relevant to this agricultural machinery when used as intended and under the conditions of misuse foreseeable by the manufacturer during normal operation and service. This part of ISO 16230 is not applicable to the following: - specific design elements of external interfaces (for example, the interface between a tractor and implement); - externally powered equipment (for example, line powered equipment, equipment without on-board power generation); - purpose built forestry machines; - stationary electrical generators. This part of ISO 16230 is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication. This standard contains the German version of EN ISO 16230-1:2015 prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 23 "Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry" in cooperation with Technical Committee CEN/TC 144 "Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry" within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). The national interests in the preparation of the standard have been represented by Committee NA 060-16-30 "Einzelthemen" ("Specific projects") of Section Landtechnik ("Agricultural machinery") at DIN Standards Committee Mechanical Engineering (NAM). Stakeholders were involved in preparation of the standard.
