ISO 11450:1999/Amd 1:2016 — Equipment for harvesting and conservation — Round balers — Terminology and commercial specifications — Amendment 1. This document is the official amendment to ISO 11450:1999 and provides changes and/or additions to the terminology and commercial specification content for round balers.

Abstract

This amendment updates the original ISO 11450:1999 text by adding, clarifying or correcting items in the vocabulary and the content required in commercial specifications for round balers. It is published as a separate one‑page amendment (Amd 1:2016) and is intended to be read together with the parent standard ISO 11450:1999 to ensure consistent terminology and comparability of commercial information between manufacturers and purchasers of round balers.

Scope

The amendment applies to ISO 11450:1999, which establishes terminology and the required content of commercial literature for round balers. The combined documents (the 1999 standard and this amendment) define terms, classes of round baler, bale and baler specification items, pickup and feeding descriptions, bale formation and wrapping system specifications, tractor interface details and other commercial data fields that manufacturers and purchasers use to describe and compare round balers.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized terminology for round balers (definitions of "round bale", "round baler", pickup types, etc.).
• Classification of round balers into classes to assist specification and comparison.
• Required bale specifications (dimensions, mass/volume descriptors and typical material descriptions).
• Required baler specifications (key machine dimensions, capacities and performance indicators used in commercial literature).
• Pickup, feeding and bale-formation system descriptions that should be reported.
• Wrapping system and bale-wrapping specification fields to standardize commercial descriptions.
• Tractor interface and power-take-off (PTO) related specification items to ensure equipment compatibility.
• Editorial and technical corrections or additions introduced by Amendment 1 to improve clarity and comparability in commercial literature.

Typical use and users

This amendment and the parent standard are used by agricultural equipment manufacturers, product managers, exporters/importers, procurement specialists, technical writers preparing product catalogues and datasheets, testing and conformity assessment bodies, and agricultural machinery dealers. Users rely on the standard to ensure consistent product descriptions, to compare models objectively, and to specify machine requirements in procurement contracts and technical documentation.

Related standards

Normative references and closely related documents include ISO 4251‑1 (tyre designation and dimensions for agricultural machines), ISO 4254‑1 (agricultural machinery — safety — general), ISO 5673 (PTO drive shafts and power-input positions), ISO 7867‑1 (tyres and rims), and ISO 8016 (machinery wheels with integral hub). ISO 11450:1999 (the parent standard, first edition 1999) is the primary document amended by this publication. National adoptions (e.g., BS ISO 11450:1999 + A1:2016) may also be available.
