1 Scope
This document, together with GB 10395.1, specifies the safety requirements for the design and manufacture of combine harvesters, forage harvesters, cotton harvesters, and sugarcane harvesters, as well as the acceptance requirements. It provides methods to eliminate or reduce the hazards caused by the intended use of these machines during normal operation and maintenance by the operator. It also specifies the types of safety operation procedure information that manufacturers should provide. Additionally, it identifies all major hazards, hazardous conditions, and hazardous events related to these machines under their intended use and in conditions of misuse that the manufacturer can reasonably foresee (see Annex A).
This document does not specify the design requirements for roll-over protective structures (if the machine is equipped with them).
This document does not specify the performance levels (or categories) of safety - related components of control systems in accordance with GB/T 38874 or GB/T 16855.
Note: This document does not take into account special requirements related to traffic regulations.
This document applies to the design, manufacture, and inspection and testing of combine harvesters, forage harvesters, cotton harvesters, and sugarcane harvesters.
For hazards related to braking and steering, this document only applies to the human - machine interface aspects of braking and steering (e.g., the position of the brake pedal and steering wheel), and does not include other aspects related to braking and steering.
For towed harvesters, this document only applies to hazards related to the working process.
This document does not apply to hazards caused by personnel other than the operator in the working site of combine harvesters, forage harvesters, cotton harvesters, and sugarcane harvesters, cleaning of the grain box, as well as hazards related to vibration and dynamic transmission moving parts (except for the strength requirements of protective devices and barriers).
