ASABE Publishes Standard on Speed Signage

The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) has published a new International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard for speed signage used on agricultural equipment.

ISO 20383:2017, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry—Speed Identification Sign (SIS), is based on ASABE standard ANSI/ASAE S584.3, Agricultural Equipment: Speed Identification Symbol (SIS). It specifies the dimensions, characteristics, and positioning of speed identification signs. Such signs indicate the maximum equipment ground speed, based on the ground speed design capability, for self-propelled, semi-integral, and towed agricultural equipment.
