Description / Abstract:
This International Standard outlines the procedures and sets the
criteria necessary to evaluate the
audible performante of alarms mounted on earth-moving machines
intended to warn personnel of the
potential hazard of the machine moving under its own power, either
forward or in reverse. The tests
are carried out on a stationary machine.
Alarm Performance on the machine is a function of alarm design,
conditions, voltage at the alarm,
and placement on the machine with respect to machine components. This
procedure verifies that the
combination of factors produces an audible alarm.
This International Standard applies to earth-moving machinery as
defined in ISO 6165.
