scope:

This European Standard applies to machines used for road service area maintenance which are attached to or mounted on carrier vehicles (e.g. tractor, truck), or which are self-propelled machinery and which are defined in Clause 3. Directives and standards for the vehicular truck or tractor chassis aspect, termed 'carrier vehicle' in this standard, would be those relevant to that equipment.For machinery which are a combination of a grass/brush-cutting attachment and a carrier-vehicle, this part of the standard applies to the grass or brush cutting attachment itself and with all health and safety requirements of the interaction and effects between attachment and the carrier vehicle when used together (e.g. stability, visibility).For self-propelled machinery, this part only deals with health and safety requirements of the attachment itself and does not deal with the self-propelled machinery itself which are dealt with in EN 17106 1.NOTE 1
