BS EN 15436-2:2008 Road service area maintenance equipment. Performance assessment

Road service area grass-cutting, brush-cutting and mechanical plant-cutting operations require special equipment that meets clearly defined technical criteria. BS EN 15436-2 defines and describes the test methods used to monitor, assess and measure the technical performance of new equipment (head of series) in its working configuration with the production-run requirements tool.

BS EN 15436-2 specifies the accuracy of the performance measurement system of road service area maintenance equipment used for:

• grass-cutting and brush-cutting
• mechanical plant-cutting.

This equipment is mounted on self-propelled carrying vehicles and is designed to cut and shred grass, brushwood, trees, saplings and bushes in road service areas.

BS EN 15436-2 gives recommendations for:

• Cutting specifications check 
• Kinematic properties check
• Weights and dimensions check 
• Specifications check for machines driven over PTO shaft with mechanical or hydraulic power transmission
• Specifications check for machines with power supplied by the carrying vehicle hydraulics

BS EN 15436-2 does not cover the collection and transportation of shredded grass.
