scope:

This European Standard establishes the ergonomic principles to be followed during the design process of mobile machinery with special emphasis on the points where mobile machinery differs from static machinery. The ergonomic design principles given in this European Standard apply to either or both seated and standing up positions. This European Standard applies to ride on mobile machinery. Pedestrian controlled and handheld machinery are not included. This European Standard specifies the ergonomics requirements of the operator (as defined by this standard) and does not necessarily apply to other people who may need to be on the mobile machine to perform other tasks (e.g. sorters on a potato harvesting machine). This European Standard applies to the interactions between an operator and the mobile machinery when operating or transporting and outlines the principles to be followed in taking the health and safety of the operator fully into account. Installing, adjusting, maintaining, cleaning, and repairing of mobile machinery is not included.
