[Current]Garden equipment - Safety requirements for combustion-engine-powered lawnmowers, Part 1: Terminology and common tests (ISO 5395-1:2013, MOD)
AS 2657.1:2025 adopts and modifies ISO 5395-1:2013, which specifies terminology and common test methods used for verification of safety requirements for combustion-engine-powered, walk-behind type rotary lawnmowers and cylinder lawnmowers including pedestrian-controlled (with or without sulky) (hereafter named “lawnmower”), and equipped with: (a) metallic cutting means and/or; (b) non-metallic cutting means with one or more cutting elements pivotally mounted on a generally circular drive unit, where these cutting elements rely on centrifugal force to achieve cutting, and have a kinetic energy for each single cutting element of 10 J or more.
