Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to the operating safety technical inspection of grain combine-harvesters, including wheeled self-propelled, crawler (half-feeding and full-feeding), and suspended types. It specifies safety requirements for the whole machine and its components, such as the engine, transmission, steering, braking, and hydraulic systems. It is mandatory for manufacturers producing grain combine-harvesters for the Chinese market.
Technical requirements
The standard outlines comprehensive safety and technical requirements across various systems of the combine-harvester. It mandates specific requirements for nameplates and markings, ensuring permanent visibility of brand, model, and serial numbers. Fasteners subjected to alternating loads in critical areas must meet minimum strength grades. For operational safety, the standard sets noise limits for dynamic environmental noise and operator positions, varying by cabin type. It also details strict requirements for protective guards on exposed moving parts like chains, belts, and high-temperature areas. Manufacturers must ensure proper safety signs are placed near hazardous components that cannot be fully enclosed. Additional requirements cover the braking system, specifying maximum pedal effort and stopping distances under cold and hot conditions. The lighting and signaling devices must meet specific configurations depending on the harvester type, including minimum luminous intensity for headlights. The standard also references GB 10395.1 and GB 10395.7 for cabin dimensions, seating, and access ladders.
Testing methods
The standard involves evaluating various operational parameters, including noise level measurement at the operator's position and the surrounding environment. Braking performance is assessed through stopping distance tests on dry, flat concrete or asphalt roads at specified speeds. Steering system checks involve measuring the maximum free rotation of the steering wheel and the required steering effort. Lighting performance is verified by measuring the luminous intensity of headlights.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 16151.12-2008?
This standard regulates the operating safety of grain combine-harvesters, specifically covering wheeled self-propelled, crawler (half-feeding and full-feeding), and suspended combine-harvesters.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 16151.12-2008?
Yes, this version replaces GB 16151.12-1996. It adds requirements for engine and frame numbering, operator workstation conditions, steering wheels, cabins, ladders, and safety signs for grain tanks. A subsequent modification (Modification No. 1) further updated mandatory clauses and lighting configurations.
Does GB 16151.12-2008 reference international standards?
Yes, the standard references several national standards that are modified or equivalent to ISO standards, such as GB 10395.1 (eqv ISO 4254-1:1989) and GB 10396 (MOD ISO 11684:1995) for safety signs and hazard graphics.
