Why should you use BS EN 15436-2 - Performance assessment of road service area maintenance equipment?
Maintenance of roads is the art of keeping the existing road in good working condition for the proper functioning of traffic
Cutting specifications check and kinematic properties check of articulated-arm grass cutter- brush cutter, In-line flail mower and mechanical plant cutting are specified in BS EN 15436-2.
BS EN 15436-2 provides weights and dimensions check and specifications check for machines driven over PTO shaft with mechanical or hydraulic power transmission as well as with power supplied by the carrying vehicle hydraulics.
Overall, BS EN 15436-2 guides you through the test methods used to monitor, assess and measure the technical performance of new equipment in its working configuration with the production-run requirements tool to assess the performance of the machines away from the plants.
In this way, road maintenance helps keep roads in their originally constructed condition, protects resources and user safety and facilitates smooth and convenient travel.
