ISO Standard covers data systems on agricultural tractors.November 20, 2009 -
Published in English and French, International Standard ISO 11783-12:2009 provides diagnostic system requirements for serial data network systems on forestry or agricultural tractors. It prescribes method and format of electronic transfer of data between sensors, actuators, control elements, and information storage and display units. These may be part of tractor or implement, whether mounted, semi-mounted, towed, or self-propelled implements.

New Standard Announced for Data Systems on Agricultural Tractors
ST JOSEPH, MICHIGAN - The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) announces the publication of an international standard that provides diagnostic system requirements for serial data network systems on forestry or agricultural tractors.
ISO 11783-12:2009, "Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry - Serial control and communications data network - Part 12: Diagnostic services," was recently published in English and French for international use.
This standard prescribes the method and format of electronic transfer of data between sensors, actuators, control elements and information storage and display units. These may be part of the tractor or implement, whether mounted, semi-mounted, towed or self-propelled implements. This part of ISO 11783 describes the network's diagnostic system. Numerous referenced documents important to the safe and accurate application of this new standard are listed as "Normative references."
Initially proposed in 2005, the standard was approved in 2009 after technical experts from Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South America, working through a committee of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), achieved consensus on its content.
ASABE is the accredited administrator for the US technical advisory group to the ISO committee on Tractors and Machinery for Agriculture and Forestry (TC23), and seven of its subcommittees. Committee membership is open and typically comprises individuals with an academic or commercial interest in the subject matter. Participation in standards development benefits commerce as well as the public by ensuring issues such as consumer safety and evolving technology are addressed in a thorough and timely manner and by reducing trade barriers that can occur in the absence of standardization.
For information on this new standard or other ASABE activities in ISO, contact Ted Tees at ASABE, 269 932-7005, ted@asabe.org.
ASABE is recognized worldwide as a standards developing organization for food, agricultural, and biological systems, with more than 225 standards of its own currently in publication. Conformance to ASABE standards is voluntary, except where required by state, provincial, or other governmental requirements. Standards documents are developed by consensus in accordance with procedures approved by the American National Standards Institute. For information on ASABE standards activities, contact Scott Cedarquist at ASABE, 269-932-7031, cedarq@asabe.org. A current listing of all ASABE standards projects can be found on the ASABE web site at http://asabe.org/standards/proposed.html.
The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers is an educational and scientific organization dedicated to the advancement of engineering applicable to agricultural, food, and biological systems. Founded in 1907 and headquartered in St Joseph, Michigan, ASABE comprises nearly 10,000 members from more than 100 countries.
