17、ANDARDS, 10/06/2010 03:11, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIBS EN 15694:2009EN 15694:2009 (E) 4 Introduction Agricultural and forestry tractors are often equipped with a passenger seat to allow the safe, short-term and occasional transport of a person from the farm to the field. The tractor and cab design
18、is defined by and optimized for various functions and operating conditions. The passenger transport is not a main request and less comfortable conditions are accepted by the market for the benefit of the main purposes. Roll-over protective structures (ROPS) were introduced to improve the safety of t
19、he tractor driver during field operations. To allow the protection of the passenger, to consider the specific conditions of tractor design, its intended use and all risks including the risk of roll-over, the standard should satisfy especially the following conditions: to specify requirements to be a
20、pplied to all tractors respectively all operations and requirements depending on the intended use respectively operations taking into account the normal use; to specify performance based requirements corresponding to the state of art and minimizing the necessary changes in tractor design; to ensure
21、a high level of occupational safety for both the driver and passenger during the individual operations; not to reduce the protection of the driver or passenger against other risks; to refer to available specifications or standards; to provide repeatable and reproducible test procedures.

It specifies minimum requ
23、irements for space and support, specifies roll-over protective structures (ROPS) test procedures and seat belt requirements, by reference to other standards. It also specifies the information to be provided by the tractor manufacturer. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are in

28、ansport one adult person 4 Requirements 4.1 Location and mounting 4.1.1 Each seat shall be so placed that the passenger is in no danger and creates no impediment to driving the tractor. 4.1.2 There shall be a vertical clearance of at least 920 mm above the surface of the passenger seat. However, whe
29、re a tractor satisfies the requirements relating to the drivers protection and seating, but its construction does not allow for such a vertical clearance for the passenger, the clearance may be reduced to Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 10/06/2010 03:11, Uncontrolled Copy, (c)
30、 BSIBS EN 15694:2009EN 15694:2009 (E) 6 800 mm, provided that adequate padding is provided immediately above the passenger seat at the level of the roof. The upper part of the vertical clearance allowed for the passenger may be limited at the rear and sides, only by a radius not exceeding 300 mm. Th
31、e vertical clearance is the vertical open space between the front edge of the seat and the roof of the tractor. 4.1.3 The passenger seat shall not add to the overall width of the tractor. 4.1.4 Each seat shall be firmly fixed and properly attached according to the type of tractor, to a structural me
32、mber of the tractor chassis, roll-over protective structure, platform, etc. The structural member concerned shall be sufficiently strong to support a laden passenger seat. 4.2 Seat dimensions 4.2.1 Each seat shall be at least 400 mm wide and at least 300 mm deep. 4.2.2 Each seat shall incorporate a
33、lateral support for position-maintenance purposes and be fitted with a back rest that is at least 200 mm high. NOTE The lateral support and/or the backrest may also be provided by parts of the cab and/or the roll-over protective structure. 4.3 Seat cushion The seat cushion shall be either padded or
34、made from elastic materials (e.g. plastics). 4.4 Seat belt A restraint system shall be provided. The restraint system shall be in accordance with the ISO 3776 series or other applicable standards. 4.5 Foot rest and handles 4.5.1 A suitable foot rest for the passengers feet shall be provided. 4.5.2 S
35、uitable grab handles shall be provided in order to facilitate the access to the passenger seat and to help him to remain in position on it. 4.6 Roll-over protection 4.6.1 If the intended use of the passenger seat allows the transport of passengers during field operations, the passenger shall be prot
36、ected by the roll-over protective structure provided for the drivers protection or by an additional structure. 4.6.2 If the intended use of the passenger seat only allows the transport of passengers on public roads and not during field operations, a safety sign with the information that the passenge
37、r seat shall not be used during field operations shall be provided on or near to the passenger seat. In addition, this information shall be provided in the operators manual. 4.6.3 To allow the same specifications for road and field operations in the future, specific test procedure(s) and acceptance
38、criteria are needed (see 5.2) Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 10/06/2010 03:11, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIBS EN 15694:2009EN 15694:2009 (E) 7 5 Test procedures 5.1 The roll-over protective structure provided for the protection of the driver and/or the additional structure, if
39、provided (see 4.6.1), shall be tested in accordance with Annex A. 5.2. Annex B includes the outline for a specific provisional test procedure and acceptance criteria (see 4.6.3). Annex B shall not be applied until verified during the next revision. NOTE WG 2 will review and improve Annex B at next r
40、evision. 5.3 The requirements and dimensions specified in 4.1 to 4.5 shall be verified by inspection and/or measurement. 6 Operators manual The operators manual shall provide the following information: a) the intended use of the passenger seat; b) the obligation for the passenger to use the seat bel
41、t; c) that it is forbidden to use the passenger seat during field operations, if this use is excluded from the intended use.

45、ractor. B.1.2 Sequence of tests The sequence of tests remains the same of the one defined in the standards given in Annex A in accordance with the typology of the tractor. However, the loads/impacts are to be applied on that portion of the structure most likely to lead to infringement of the passeng
46、er clearance zone. B.1.3 Horizontal loading/impacts tests from the rear, front, side and crushing tests All the provisions defined in the standards given in Annex A are applicable. B.2 Passenger clearance zone B.2.1 General The passenger clearance zone is established using the reference point S to b
47、e defined, and it is allowed to rotate forward, rearward, and to each side about the point S not more than a specific value of rotation, to be defined, from vertical direction. Also the upper portion of the passenger clearance zone is allowed to flex forward and rearward an additional specific value
48、 of rotation that is to be defined. The point S may move during the test due to deflection of the chassis. If it occurs, the passenger clearance zone shall continue to maintain its relationship with point S. B.2.2 Acceptance criteria The acceptance criteria for the protective structure to be fulfill
49、ed during and after completion of the tests are the following: a) no part of the tractor enters the passenger clearance zone during any part of the tests. No part of the tractor strikes the passenger seat during the tests. Furthermore, the passenger clearance zone is not outside the protection of the protective structure. b) the intersection between the passenger clearance zone and the operator clearance zone does not exceed the value to be defined. c) there is no protruding m
