Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to the design, manufacture, and inspection of combine harvesters, forage harvesters, cotton harvesters, and sugar cane harvesters. It specifies safety requirements and protective measures to eliminate or reduce risks during normal operation and maintenance. Manufacturers of these specified agricultural machines must comply with this standard to ensure market access in China. It does not cover the design requirements for roll-over protective structures (ROPS) or specific road traffic regulations, but works in conjunction with GB 10395.1.
Technical requirements
The standard outlines comprehensive safety requirements across several key areas. For all covered machines, it specifies general safety measures, control mechanisms, and operator workstation requirements, including shear and crush point protections, access systems, and visibility. Manufacturers must ensure that folding mechanisms, interchangeable harvesting devices, and automatic navigation systems meet strict safety criteria. The standard also addresses thermal surfaces, fire hazards, and overhead wire warnings. Specific additional requirements are detailed for each machine type. For combine harvesters, the standard covers grain tanks, unloading augers, and stalk choppers, ensuring safe operation during grain handling and residue management. For forage harvesters, requirements focus on feed mechanisms, chopper drives, and crop delivery systems, including specific run-down time limits for rotating parts. Compliance with these specific functional safety measures is mandatory. For cotton harvesters, the standard specifies safety measures for picking units, baskets, and compactor augers, including lockout devices for raised baskets. For sugar cane harvesters, it addresses base cutter systems, loading elevators, and blockage clearing procedures. The standard also mandates comprehensive usage information, including instruction manuals and safety signs, in accordance with GB/T 9480 and GB 10396.
Testing methods
Compliance verification involves a combination of visual inspection, measurement, and functional testing. Key testing methods include measuring clearance dimensions for control mechanisms and access points, verifying the operation of safety interlocks and separation controls, and testing the run-down time of rotating components. Manufacturers must conduct these verifications to prove conformity with the specified safety requirements. Noise testing must also be conducted according to GB 19997.
