BS EN 15694:2009+A1:2015EN 15694:2009+A1:2015 (E) 5 Introduction Agricultural and forestry tractors are often equipped with a passenger seat to allow the safe, short-term and
24、occasional transport of a person from the farm to the field. The tractor and cab design 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 pur
25、poses. Roll-over protective structures (ROPS) were introduced to improve the safety of the 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 stan
26、dard should satisfy especially the following conditions: to specify requirements to be applied 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 correspondin
27、g to the state of art and minimizing the necessary changes in tractor design; to ensure 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 specifica
28、tions or standards; to provide repeatable and reproducible test procedures. BS EN 15694:2009+A1:2015EN 15694:2009+A1:2015 (E) 6 1 Scope This standard is applicable to agricultural and forestry tractors on which provision is made for carrying one person in addition to the driver. It specifies minimum
29、 requirements 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 a

34、re which may or may not be integral with the tractor structure, complete with cushion, intended to seat and transport one adult person ! 3.2 passenger seat index point (SIPp) point located in the central longitudinal plane of the apparatus for determination when installed in the passenger seat BS EN
35、 15694:2009+A1:2015EN 15694:2009+A1:2015 (E) 7 3.3 passenger deflection-limiting volume (PDLV) volume which is defined in relation to the reference planes and the passenger seat index point (SIPp) and serving to set limits and deflections permissible when performing laboratory evaluations of the pro
36、tective structure 3.4 reference planes vertical planes being longitudinal and transversal to the tractor and passing through the passenger seat index point; these reference planes are assumed to move horizontally with the seat during loading but to remain perpendicular to the tractor or the floor of
37、 the roll-over protective structure 3.5 interference zone portion of the operator clearance zone (OCZ) where a defined maximum interference with PDLV is allowed“ 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 t
38、o 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, where 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 p
39、assenger, the clearance may be reduced to 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.
40、The 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
41、member 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
42、a 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 o
43、r made from elastic materials (e.g. plastics). BS EN 15694:2009+A1:2015EN 15694:2009+A1:2015 (E) 8 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
44、rest for the passengers feet shall be provided. 4.5.2 Suitable 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 passenge
45、rs during field operations, the passenger shall be protected 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 operation
46、s, a safety sign with the information that the passenger 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
47、 the future, specific test procedure(s) and acceptance criteria are needed (see 5.2) 5 Test procedures 5.1 The roll-over protective structure provided for the protection of the driver and/or the additional structure, if provided (see 4.6.1), shall be tested in accordance with Annex A. 5.2 Annex B in
