BS EN 50636-2-92:2014

This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.

This European Standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of pedestrian controlled walk-behind mains operated scarifiers and aerators, hereinafter referred to as ‘machine(s)’, which are designed for re-generating lawns by, for instance, combing out grass, thatch and moss or cutting vertically into the lawn face using tines which rotate about a horizontal axis. This standard applies in conjunction with Part 1.

NOTE 1 Lawn scarifiers are also known as lawn rakes.

This European Standard does not apply to non-powered scarifiers and aerators, battery powered scarifiers and aerators, vertical axis scarifiers and aerators or those aerators which cut into the soil by means of a reciprocating motion and ride-on machines.

This European Standard does not apply to

• lawnmowers (EN 60335-2-77);

• lawn trimmers (EN 60335-2-91);

• lawn edge trimmers (EN 60335-2-91);

• lawn edgers, flail mowers, sickle-bar mowers or agricultural mowers.

This European Standard is not applicable to aerators/scarifiers which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document.

This European Standard deals with all the significant hazards presented by pedestrian-controlled lawn scarifiers and lawn aerators when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable.

NOTE 2 Combustion engine machines are covered by EN 13684.
