Legal Notice for Standards

Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standards are developed through a consensus standards development process approved by the Standards Council of Canada. This process brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus and develop a standard. Although CSA administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in achieving consensus, it does not independently test, evaluate, or verify the content of standards.

Lighting and marking of agricultural equipment on highways

CSA Preface

This is the fifth edition of CSA M669, Lighting and marking of agricultural equipment on highways, which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled ANSI/ASAE (American National Standards Institute/American Society of Agricultural Engineers) Standard S279.15 SEP2010. It supersedes the previous edition, published in 2004, which was an adoption of ANSI/ASAE Standard S279.12 DEC02.

In conjunction with the adoption of this new edition of ANSI/ASAE S279, CSA is also withdrawing CAN/CSA-M663-92, Seven-Pin Electrical Connector and Cable for Agricultural Towing/Towed Equipment. The technical content of CAN/CSA-M663-92 is now addressed in this new edition of CSA M669.

In this edition, a number of minor technical changes have been made to the performance requirements for retroreflective devices and fluorescent marking and to the criteria for design and placement of the marking material on various types of equipment. It should be noted that this Standard applies to all mobile agricultural equipment, whether self-propelled or towed, moving on public highways and roadways (paved, graveled, or dirt surface).

This Standard was reviewed by the CSA Technical Committee on Agricultural Machinery, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Occupational Health and Safety, and has been approved by the Technical Committee.

ASABE is a professional and technical organization, of members worldwide, who are dedicated to advancement of engineering applicable to agricultural, food, and biological systems. ASABE Standards are consensus documents developed and adopted by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers to meet standardization needs within the scope of the Society; principally agricultural field equipment, farmstead equipment, structures, soil and water resource management, turf and landscape equipment, forest engineering, food and process engineering, electric power applications, plant and animal environment, and waste management.

NOTE: ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data are informational and advisory only. Their use by anyone engaged in industry or trade is entirely voluntary. The ASABE assumes no responsibility for results attrib- utable to the application of ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data. Conformity does not ensure compliance with applicable ordinances, laws and regulations. Prospective users are responsible for protecting themselves against liability for infringement of patents.

ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data initially approved prior to the society name change in July of 2005 are designated as ‘ASAE’, regardless of the revision approval date. Newly developed Standards, Engineering Practices and Data approved after July of 2005 are designated as ‘ASABE’.

A

Standards designated as ‘ANSI’ are American National Standards as are all ISO adoptions published by ASABE. Adoption as an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by ASABE.

Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has R been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a

concerted effort be made toward their resolution.

CAUTION NOTICE: ASABE and ANSI standards may be revised or withdrawn at any time. Additionally, procedures

D of ASABE require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw each standard.
