Scope:

The purpose of this standard is to provide a reasonable degree of personal safety for operators and other persons during normal operation and servicing of farmstead equipment.

 

This standard applies to powered farmstead equipment. This standard does not apply to agricultural field equipment nor to self-propelled mobile equipment such as motor vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, and skid-steer loaders. In addition, it does not apply to farmstead equipment covered by other ASABE safety standards unless it is specifically referenced by these standards

Project need:

As part of the contract that CSA has with CASA, we are mandated to publish high priority standards for this topic area, as identified by the Technical Committee S330 Agricultural Machinery. The standards listed above are part of the 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 priority list. These standards will align Canadian requirements with those of international standards in the agricultural machinery topic area.
