GOST R ISO 13862-2003 PDF

Full title and description

Designation: GOST R ISO 13862-2003 — "Машины валочно-пакетирующие. Параметры конструктивные. Номенклатура и обозначения" (English: "Feller-bunchers. Definitions and specifications"). This is the Russian adoption (GOST R) of the corresponding ISO document for terminology, dimensional parameters and required commercial specification information for feller-bunchers.

Abstract

This standard establishes a common vocabulary and the required information framework for identifying and describing the main dimensions, constructive parameters and features of tracked and wheeled feller-bunchers. It is intended to harmonize terminology and the specification items used in technical documentation, commercial descriptions and procurement. (The GOST R version is an identical/adopted text of the ISO document.)

General information

• Status: Active in the GOST R catalogue (Russian adoption of the ISO text); the underlying ISO edition (ISO 13862:2000) has since been revised and replaced by ISO 13862:2022.
• Publication date: Introduced to the GOST R system / implemented 01 January 2005 (GOST R ISO 13862-2003 adoption date).
• Publisher: Adopted and published under the Russian standards system (Gosstandart / IPK‑Publishing of Standards as the Russian publication body noted in the registry).
• ICS / categories: Agriculture and forestry vocabularies and forestry equipment — ICS codes include 01.040.65 and 65.060.80 (forestry equipment / agricultural vocabularies).
• Edition / version: GOST R adoption based on ISO 13862 (edition corresponding to year 2000 / GOST designation 2003).
• Number of pages: Typically published as a short technical specification (around 7–8 pages in published copies).

Scope

Specifies terminology, constructive parameters and the minimum set of information required to identify and describe feller-bunchers (both tracked and wheeled types). The standard sets out names, dimensional parameters and designation conventions so manufacturers, buyers and regulators have a consistent basis for descriptions and data exchange. It does not prescribe safety tests or performance methods — those are covered in other normative documents.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized terminology and definitions for feller-buncher components and features.
• List of constructive/dimensional parameters used to describe machine geometry and capability (main dimensions, operating envelopes, mounting and interchangeability references).
• Required commercial/specification information for product data sheets and tender documentation.
• Applicability to tracked and wheeled feller-bunchers and cross-reference to related classification standards (e.g., ISO 6814 where relevant).
• Guidance on which terms/parameters are essential and which may be omitted where not applicable to a specific machine.

Typical use and users

Used by forestry machinery manufacturers and designers for consistent product descriptions; procurement specialists and buyers preparing tenders and technical specifications; technical documentation authors; national standards bodies and conformity assessment organizations referencing machine terminology in regulatory or certification contexts. It is also used by equipment traders and fleet managers for unambiguous equipment identification.

Related standards

Directly related to ISO 13862 (the source ISO document) and to ISO 6814 (classification/definitions for forestry machines). The ISO original (ISO 13862:2000) was later revised — see ISO 13862:2022 for the current international edition; other GOST R forestry machine documents (for example GOST R ISO 13861 series for wheeled skidders) form part of the same national family of adopted ISO texts.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST R ISO 13862-2003 is the Russian adoption of the ISO standard that defines terminology, constructive parameters and the required specification information for feller-bunchers (forestry harvesting machines).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers names, definitions and the list of dimensional/constructive parameters and designation conventions used to describe feller-bunchers; it provides a framework for technical and commercial descriptions but does not set performance or safety test methods.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, designers, technical writers, procurement teams, standards bodies and conformity assessment organizations involved with forestry machinery and equipment specification.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The GOST R adoption reflects the earlier ISO edition (ISO 13862:2000). The international ISO document was revised and replaced by ISO 13862:2022 (the current ISO edition); users should check whether a newer national adoption or updated GOST text exists for full harmonization with ISO 2022.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the family of standards on forestry machinery developed by ISO/TC 23/SC 15 and adopted in national systems as GOST R where relevant (other related GOST R ISO documents cover different forestry machine types and related vocabulary).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Feller-buncher; forestry equipment; terminology; constructive parameters; technical specification; GOST R; ISO 13862.
