This standard specifies specific safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of all sugar beet and fodder beet harvesting machines trailed, mounted or self-propelled which carry out one or more of the following operations: leaf stripping, topping, lifting, picking-up, cleaning, conveying and unloading of beet. This standard is not applicable to cleaner-loaders which operate from a heap of beet. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the manufacturer. The list of significant hazards dealt with in this standard is given in Annex A. Annex A also indicates the hazards which have not been dealt with. Environmental aspects have not been considered in this standard. This standard applies primarily to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of the standard.
