scope:

This European Standard, to be used together with ISO 4254-1, specifies safety requirements and their verification for design and construction of self-propelled, mounted and trailed manure spreaders, provided with vertical or horizontal axes rotors rear spreader device or with horizontal or vertical axes disc lateral spreader device. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the manufacturer (the residual risks are enclosed). When requirements of this document are different from those which are stated in EN ISO 4254-1, the requirements of this document take precedence over the requirements of EN ISO 4254-1 for machines that have been designed and built according the provisions of this document. This document, taken together with ISO 4254-1, deals with all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events (as listed in Table 1),relevant to manure spreaders, when they are used as intended and under the conditions of reasonable foreseeable misuse except the hazards arising from: - travelling function of self-propelled machinery; - overturning in regard to the protection of the operator at the driving station of a self-propelled machine.
