DIN EN ISO 17989-1:2016-09

This part of ISO 17989 provides guidelines to assist designers and manufacturers of tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry to integrate sustainability principles, practices and considerations into their organizations and processes. This part of ISO 17989 is specifically applicable to equipment used in the production of food, fibres, fuel and lumber for humans and livestock. This part of ISO 17989 includes three different levels for the application: principles, recommendations and additional information (annexes). This part of ISO 17989 is addressed to the organization management and provides guidance for considering sustainability aspects relevant for the organization and the product life cycle. It defines the factory gate as the system boundary. This part of ISO 17989 is not applicable to contractual or regulatory purposes or to registration and certification. Except when they are closely related to sustainability, this part of ISO 17989 does not address issues of occupational health and safety or operator safety aspects of a machine’s design. Designers can find guidance on these issues in other International Standards. This standard contains the German version of EN ISO 17989-1:2015 prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 23 "Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry" in cooperation with Technical Committee CEN/TC 144 "Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry" within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). The national interests in the preparation of the standard have been represented by Committee NA 060-16-30 "Einzelthemen" ("Specific projects") of Standards Group Landtechnik ("Agricultural machinery") at DIN Standards Committee Mechanical Engineering (NAM). Stakeholders were involved in preparation of the standard.
