This part of ISO 4254, intended to be used together with ISO 4254-1, specifies the safety requirements and
their verification for the design and construction of combine harvesters, forage harvesters and cotton
harvesters. It describes methods for the elimination or reduction of hazards arising from the intended use of
these machines by one person (the operator) in the course of normal operation and service. In addition, it
specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the manufacturer.
When provisions of this part of ISO 4254 are different from those which are stated in ISO 4254-1, the
provisions of this part of ISO 4254 take precedence over the provisions of ISO 4254-1 for machines that have
been designed and built according the provisions of this part of ISO 4254.
This part of ISO 4254, taken together with ISO 4254-1, deals with all the significant hazards (as listed in
Table 1), hazardous situations and events relevant to combine harvesters, forage harvesters and cotton
harvesters, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see
Clause 4). It is not applicable to hazards arising from the presence of persons other than the operator,
cleaning of the grain tank, and hazards related to vibrations and moving parts for power transmission, except
for strength requirements for guards and barriers. In respect of braking and steering, it is applicable only to the
ergonomic aspects (e.g. location of brake pedal and steering wheel); no other aspects related to braking and
steering are covered. In the case of trailed harvesters, it is applicable only to hazards related to the working
process.
