GB/T 38874.1-2020 Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry—Safety-related parts of control systems—Part 1:General principles for design and development
Basic Information
Scope
This part of GB/T 38874 specifies the general principles for the design and development of safety-related components (SRP/CS) of control systems. It applies to agricultural and forestry tractors, self-propelled agricultural machinery, fully and semi-trailer agricultural machinery, and agricultural traction machinery, as well as municipal machinery (such as road sweepers).
This part does not apply to:
——Agricultural aircraft and agricultural vehicles;
——Lawn and gardening equipment.
This part specifies the characteristics and categories required for SRP/CS to perform safety-related functions, but does not specify performance levels for specific applications.
Note 1: Mechanical-specific Class C standards may specify agricultural performance levels (AgPL) for safety-related functions within their scope. Otherwise, the specification of AgPL is the responsibility of the manufacturer.
This part applies to safety components of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic systems (E/E/PES) related to electromechanical systems. It covers the hazards that may arise from the failure behavior of E/E/PES safety-related systems (including the interaction between these systems). It does not address hazards such as electric shock, fire, smoke, high temperature, radiation, toxicity, flammability, chemical reactivity, or energy release, unless directly caused by a failure of the E/E/PES safety system. It also covers the failure behavior of E/E/PES safety-related systems under non-E/E/PES hazards, involving protective measures, safeguards, or safety-related functions.
This part includes examples within the following scope:
——SRP/CS limiting current in electric hybrid systems to prevent insulation failure/electric shock hazards;
——Electromagnetic interference of SRP/CS;
——Fire-resistant design of SRP/CS.
This part does not include examples within the following scope:
——Insulation failure ca
