What is ISO 12934 about?
ISO 12934 provides terms and definitions for agricultural field equipment designed primarily for use in agricultural operations for the production of food and fibre.
ISO 12934 also applies to agricultural tractors used in forestry applications. Purpose-built forestry machines, as defined by ISO 6814, are not included.
Note: The list provided in ISO 12934 is not comprehensive and, therefore, does not represent all the machine types that exist. One or more definitions may apply to a certain machine configuration.
Who is ISO 12934 for?
ISO 12934 on vocabulary for tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry is useful for:
- Agricultural and farming equipment manufacturer
- Building Constructors
- Dealers and suppliers of lawn and garden equipment
Why should you use ISO 12934?
Tractors find their applications across several sectors. This multipurpose machine can be used as a bulldozer, scraper, or digger. Along with this, in many industries, tractors may act as a power take-off accessory to operate stationary or drawn machinery and implements.
ISO 12934 provides terms and definitions for agricultural field equipment, thus serves you with the vocabulary for reference when manufacturing the high class, reliable and efficient tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry.
