ISO 17989-1:2015提供了指导方针，以帮助农业和林业拖拉机和机械的设计师和制造商将可持续性原则、实践和考虑纳入其组织和流程。ISO 17989的本部分特别适用于用于生产人类和牲畜食品、纤维、燃料和木材的设备。 注:ISO 17989的本部分包括三个不同的应用级别:原则、建议和附加信息（附件）。 ISO 17989-1:2015针对组织管理层，为考虑与组织和产品生命周期相关的可持续性方面提供指导。它将工厂大门定义为系统边界（图1）。 ISO 17989-1:2015不适用于合同或监管目的，也不适用于注册和认证。 除非与可持续性密切相关，否则ISO 17989的本部分不涉及机器设计的职业健康和安全或操作员安全方面的问题。设计师可以在其他国际标准中找到关于这些问题的指导。

ISO 17989-1:2015 provides guidelines to assist designers and manufacturers of tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry to integrate sustainability principles, practices and considerations into their organizations and processes. This part of ISO 17989 is specifically applicable to equipment used in the production of food, fibres, fuel and lumber for humans and livestock. NOTE This part of ISO 17989 includes three different levels for the application: principles, recommendations and additional information (annexes). ISO 17989-1:2015 is addressed to the organization management and provides guidance for considering sustainability aspects relevant for the organization and the product life cycle. It defines the factory gate as the system boundary (Figure 1). ISO 17989-1:2015 is not applicable to contractual or regulatory purposes or to registration and certification. Except when they are closely related to sustainability, this part of ISO 17989 does not address issues of occupational health and safety or operator safety aspects of a machine's design. Designers can find guidance on these issues in other International Standards.
