This International Standard defines dimensions and specifies performance and safety requirements for traction assistance/tethering winches used in forestry for assisting supported machines while going uphill and downhill (pulling and braking). It is applicable to fixed and detachable winches and their components, connections and communications, which are used with mobile and self-propelled forestry machinery as defined in ISO 6814 such as harvesters, forwarders, skidders, planting machines, machines for forest ground preparation and machines for extracting residual waste. These machines can be equipped with wheels and/or tracks. It is applicable to autonomous traction assistance winch systems which are installed on a position away from the supported machine too. It is not applicable to traction assistance winches which are not using a controlled rope force while going downhill and winches used for skidding, hoisting operations on cranes, draglines, high lead logging, rope, logging systems or yarding. The safe use of traction assistance systems covered by this standard requires the supported machines to be able to remain at least stationary on any position of the slope they are driving on without using rope support.

This document establishes a laboratory test method and performance requirements for thrown object guards (TOG) that provide operator protection against thrown objects. This applies to mobile and self-propelled machinery used in forestry and related operations including, but not limited to, those defined in ISO 6814. The TOG is intended to provide reasonable protection for the operator on the host machine from powered rotating cutting or grinding elements and residual matter thrown by an attachment on the host machine. As the tests in the document are dependent upon the mass, velocity, and the cutting or grinding element profile, the TOG meeting the requirements of this document are specific to each cutting or grinding attachment and the host machine model. This document does not address protection from saw chain shot. NOTE A separate standard ISO 21876 addresses saw chain shot hazards.

This document specifies safety requirements and their verification for design and construction of, i.e. self-propelled, mounted, semi-mounted and trailed, wood chippers used in forestry, agriculture, horticulture and landscaping.
This document applies to chippers, used when stationary, which are manually loaded with wood through a horizontal or near horizontal infeed chute and where the infeed action is performed by the chipping components acting as infeed components or by separate integrated infeed components such as rollers or conveyors integral to the infeed chute. Wood chippers may be powered either by an external power take-off, hydraulics etc. or by an integral power source such as an internal combustion engine.
This document does not cover:
-   requirements relating to national road regulations arising from transport between work sites;
-   hazards arising from any self-propelled function;
-   hazards arising from the transmission of power from an external power source - e.g. power take-off drive shafts;
-   any machines where the infeed chute is fitted with an extension table or an integrated conveyor that is protruding beyond the outermost lower edge of the infeed chute and the Lower Protective Device of the infeed chute;
-   hazards arising from the engine pull starting of an integral power source;
-   hazards arising from mechanical loading;
-   vertical infeed chute chippers;
-   electromagnetic aspects of the chippers;
-   shredders/chippers to be covered by EN 13683;
-   any machines that are only loaded mechanically;
-   additional mechanical discharge systems for woodchips which are not part of the chipping mechanism e.g. conveyors.
For machines that can be both manually and mechanically loaded, this document is only covering the safety of the manual loading.
NOTE 1   Any additional requirements related to use with both mechanical and manual feed that could affect safe use or which are necessary to maintain the integrity of protective devices are outside the scope of this document. Such additional measures are intended to be determined by risk assessment carried out by the manufacturer.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to wood chippers, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex A).
In addition, it specifies the type of information to be provided by the manufacturer on the safe use of these machines.
It is not applicable to environmental hazards (except noise).
NOTE 2   The noise test code described in this standard does not comply with the outdoor noise directive 2000/14/EC.
This document is not applicable to wood chippers which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
