Committee:: AGE/29 - Forestry machinery, powered lawn and garden equipment
Categories:: Information management | Standardization. General rules | Agriculture and Food | Agriculture | Agricultural machines and equipment | Equipment. Forestry

Scope

Standardize a method for testing the performance and fuel consumption of internal combustion engines used to power manually portable (hand-held) powered lawn and garden equipment and forest machinery, including chain-saws, hedge trimmers, brush-cutters, grass-trimmers, pole-mounted pruners, and edgers. The document will replace ISO 7293:2021 and 8893:2021 when published.

Purpose

The purpose of the new standard is to combine similar engine performance and fuel consumption requirements found in ISO 7293:2021 and 8893:2021. The document will replace ISO 7293:2021 and 8893:2021 when published. ISO/TC 23/SC 17 has agreed to move forward to develop the combined standard with the intention of sunsetting 7293 and 8893 once this new “combined” standard has been published. Reference to Resolution 496 (Hybrid-meeting 2022:7) from the Plenary meeting of ISO/TC 23/SC 17 in Louisville, KY, USA
