This European Standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of
pedestrian controlled integrally powered lawn aerators and scarifiers which are designed for re-generating
lawns by, for instance, combing out grass, thatch and moss or cutting vertically into the lawn face using tines
which rotate about a horizontal axis. It describes methods of elimination or reduction of hazards arising from
their use. In addition, it specifies the type of information to be provided by the manufacturer on safe working
