14、deration of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that com
15、mittee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the
16、technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 14740 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 23, Tractors and machinery for agriculture
17、 and forestry, Subcommittee SC 17, Manually portable forest machinery. Requirements for hazards not covered in this International Standard are given in ISO/TR 12100. Annex A forms an integral part of this International Standard. Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Mon Nov 27 03:26:33 GMT+00:

19、ruction of backpack power units incorporating a combustion engine as a power source to power brush-cutters, grass-trimmers, pole-cutters and similar appliances. It describes methods for the elimination or reduction of hazards arising from the use of the backpack power units, but does not cover hazar
20、ds resulting from the use of the attached appliance. Therefore this International Standard cannot be used alone for the assessment of the machine safety aspects for a machine with a backpack power unit, and must only serve as a reference for specifications concerning the backpack power unit itself.
21、It does not specify any technical requirements to reduce noise and whole body vibration hazards. Indeed the different means available to reduce these hazards are a matter for the technical aids to which the manufacturer may resort, through specialized books or specific bodies. NOTEAn agreed method t
22、o measure whole body vibration from the backpack power unit is presently not available. The list of significant hazards requiring action to reduce the risk is given in Annex A. Environmental aspects have not been considered in this International Standard. 2 Normative references The following standar
23、ds contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid.

32、s and an appliance 4 Safety requirements Each backpack power unit shall be in accordance with the requirements below. 4.1 Exhaust system The exhaust outlet shall be located so as to direct exhaust emissions away from the operator when placed on his back or hips. 4.2 Controls All controls shall be de
33、signed to be operable by an operator wearing gloves. 4.2.1 Throttle trigger 4.2.1.1 The backpack power unit shall either have a throttle trigger lockout or be designed so that a straight and rigid gauge of 10 mm diameter and 200 mm length shall not activate the throttle trigger to such an extent tha
34、t the engine speed is raised above the idling speed. 4.2.1.2 The throttle trigger shall be possible to attach on the appliance so that it can be pressed and released with one hand holding the handle of the appliance on which the throttle trigger is mounted. 4.2.1.3 The throttle trigger shall, when r
35、eleased, automatically revert to the idling position and be retained in that position by the automatic engagement of a throttle trigger lockout. 4.2.1.4 If a throttle lock is provided for starting, it shall be automatically released when the throttle trigger is operated. The throttle lock shall be s
36、o designed that two or more independent motions are required to engage the throttle lock. 4.2.1.5 In the starting mode power can be transmitted to the appliance. 4.2.2 Engine-stopping device The backpack power unit shall be fitted with an engine-stopping device by which the engine can be brought to
37、a full stop and does not depend on sustained manual effort for its operation. The control for this device shall be attached adjacent to the throttle control so that it can be operated while the appliance is being held by an operator with both hands. The purpose and method of operation of the device
38、shall be clearly and durably marked. The colour of the control shall clearly contrast with the background. 4.3 Handgrip A handgrip shall be available. It can be a part of the frame, and shall allow an operator alone to grasp the backpack power unit to place it on the back or hip. 4.4 Engine support
39、The engine shall be supported on a backpack frame designed to distribute the load evenly on the operators back, shoulders, waist and/or hips. 4.5 Harness 4.5.1 A suitable harness shall be provided to carry the backpack frame. It shall be adjustable to the size of the operator. 4.5.2 A double shoulde
40、r harness shall be provided for all backpack power units exceeding a dry mass of 7,5 kg. 4.5.3 The harness shall be designed to prevent slipping and so that pressure can be evenly distributed on the operators back, shoulders and/or waist. 4.5.4 The harness design, or the quick release mechanism shal
41、l enable the backpack power unit to be released quickly from the operator in case of emergency. The design of the connection between the harness and those parts of the backpack power unit suspended from it shall be such that separation will only occur by deliberate action of the operator. 4.6 Power
42、driven components The backpack power unit shall be constructed to ensure that when used as intended, the operator is protected from power driven components such as sprockets, flexible drive lines, pulleys, shafts, gears, flywheels, fan blades and also drive belts and chains. For openings, the requir
43、ements of ISO 13852:1996, 4.5.2 and 4.5.3, shall be met. 4.7 Hydraulic and pneumatic pipes and hoses Hydraulic and pneumatic pipes and hoses subject to internal pressures greater than 500 kPa shall be shielded to prevent operator injury in the event of leakage.

45、contact during normal operation. If hot parts are accessible, they shall not have a contacted area greater than 10 cm2. They shall be considered accessible if they can be reached by the test cone, as shown in Figure 1. The temperature for the accessible parts shall not cause a hazard to the operator
46、. For further information, see EN 563:19946), and especially its Annex C. 4.9 Protection against contact with parts under high voltage Ignition interruption or short-circuiting devices shall be provided and shall be fitted on the lower voltage side. All high voltage parts of the circuit, including s
47、park plug terminals, shall be electrically protected in such a manner that the operator cannot make accidental contact with them. The requirements shall be checked by inspection and using a finger probe, as described in IEC 60335-1:1991, Figure 1. 4.10 Tank openings 4.10.1 The fuel cap shall have a
48、retainer. The diameter of the fuel tank opening shall be at least 20 mm. 4.10.2 The opening or cap shall be clearly marked. 4.10.3 The design of the cap shall be such that no apparent leakage occurs whilst the engine is at the normal operating temperature, in all working positions and while being tr
49、ansported. Seepage from any fuel tank ventilation system shall not constitute a leakage. 4.10.4 The filler openings shall be located so that the filling of the tanks with a suitable funnel is not obstructed by other components. 4.11 Starting device A starting device shall be provided to allow the engine to be started without using separate independent auxiliary assistance (for example belts or cables). When the backpack power unit is fitted with an electric starting device, two or more independent motions shall be required to enga
