ISO 23175 is officially titled:
“Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry — Principles for the design of safety-related parts of control systems”
This standard focuses on ensuring safety, reliability, and functional performance of the control systems used in agricultural and forestry machinery, especially as these machines become increasingly autonomous and digitally connected.
ISO 23175 addresses:
The goal is to reduce the risks associated with automation while supporting the development of interoperable smart systems.
As agriculture becomes more technology-driven—with GPS-controlled tractors, AI-driven irrigation systems, and IoT-enabled drones—ensuring control system safety and reliability becomes essential.
ISO 23175 is critical because it:
It's especially relevant for manufacturers and operators using robotic, autonomous, or precision agriculture systems.
Adopting ISO 23175 empowers agricultural businesses and machinery manufacturers with:
Ensure that control systems meet internationally accepted safety design principles.
Enable smooth communication and data exchange between multiple smart farming devices.
Helps build safe, intelligent systems using artificial intelligence and real-time data.
Lay the foundation for smart farming infrastructure and sustainable food production.
Mitigate risks in complex field operations with built-in control system safety.
Implementing ISO 23175 through GMC’s expert consulting provides measurable business value:
Ensure operator and bystander safety in autonomous and semi-autonomous operations.
Help manufacturers create globally acceptable Agri-Tech solutions.
Align with ISO, EU Machinery Directive, and other international safety standards.
Prevent control system failures that could halt operations or lead to accidents.
Build a safety-assured platform for AI, robotics, and data integration.
Show commitment to responsible, future-proof agricultural technology.
