Description / Abstract:
This International Standard establishes a consistent and reproducible
means of evaluating the
load-carrying characteristics of Roll-Over Protective Structures
(BOPS) under static loading, and
prescribes performance requirements for a representative specimen
under such loading.
It applies to the following seated design operator-controlled machines
as defined in ISO 6165:
- crawler tractors and loaders;
- graders;
- wheeled loaders and wheeled tractors and their modified versions
used for rolling or compacting,
dozer-equipped wheeled tractors, skid-steer loaders and backhoe
loaders;
- wheeled industrial tractors;
- the tractor portion (prime mover), of tractor scrapers, water
wagons, articulated steer dumpers,
bottom-dump wagons, side-dump wagons, rear-dump wagons and towed
fifth-wheel attachments;
- rollers and compactors;
- rigid frame dumpers.
