ISO 5395-3:2013 Figure B.4 Test Probe

The ISO 5395-3:2013 Figure B.4 Test Probe is a specialized safety tool engineered to determine the accessibility of hazardous components, such as blades or moving gears, on seated-operator ride-on lawnmowers. It replicates human arm movement with a flexible elbow joint crucial for navigating the lawnmower’s structure, while the wrist and finger joints remain rigid, simulating real-world interaction. Constructed to precise dimensional standards, including a total length of 950mm and a Φ12mm probe section, it ensures consistent testing of combustion-engine-powered lawnmowers. Durable and precision-engineered, this tool is indispensable for manufacturers to comply with global garden equipment safety regulations and prevent operator injury. Specifications:

• Tool Type: Test Probe (ISO 5395-3:2013 Figure B.4; for accessibility testing of hazardous parts on seated-operator ride-on lawnmowers)
• Probe Material: High-strength steel (corrosion-resistant; withstands outdoor testing conditions; rigid to maintain dimensional accuracy)
• Handle Material: Insulated plastic (ergonomic grip for outdoor use; slip-resistant even with moisture; resistance ≥ 100MΩ)
• Key Dimensions (mm): – Total Length: 950 ± 2mm – Main Probe Section Length: 860 ± 2mm – Elbow-to-Tip Length: 550 ± 2mm – Probe Diameter: Φ12 ± 0.1mm – Tip Spherical Radius (SR): 3 ± 0.05mm – Joint-Related Sizes: 28mm (elbow width), 20mm (joint thickness), 180mm (upper arm segment), 80mm (lower arm segment), 30mm (joint spacing)
• Joint Characteristics: – Elbow Joint: Flexible (90° ± 10° rotation to mimic arm movement) – Wrist/Finger Joints: Non-flexible (aligns with ISO 5395-3:2013 human interaction simulation)
• Core Function: Tests if ride-on lawnmower hazardous parts are reachable; mimics seated operator’s arm movement; ensures compliance with garden equipment safety standards
• Test Procedures: 1. Inspect the probe for loose elbow joints, bent sections, or cracked insulation; confirm all dimensions match ISO 5395-3:2013. 2. Position the ride-on lawnmower under test (EUT) on a flat surface…
