Scope

This document specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of front loaders designed to be mounted on agricultural and forestry tractors (as defined in the Regulation EU 167/2013).
It deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to front loaders when used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable. This includes hazards related to the handling of unit loads during operations (for example, using bale forks), hazards related to mounting/demounting the lifting arms to/from the frame mounted on the tractor, and also hazards related to devices for mounting/demounting attachments to/from the lifting arms.
In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices.
Hazards related to the mounted attachments with or without powered functions are excluded, as well as hazards related to visibility and those related to the mobile elevating work platform applications to a front loader, because the front loader is not designed to lift and/or transport people. Front loaders with fully or partially self-evolving behaviour or logic and/or with varying levels of autonomy are also excluded.
Environmental aspects, other than noise, have not been considered in this document.
This document is not applicable to front loaders which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.
