Description / Abstract:
This International Standard establishes a consistent and reproducible
means of evaluating the
load-carrying characteristics of tip-over protective structures (TOPS)
under static loading, and
prescribes performance requirements of a representative specimen under
such loading.
It applies to TOPS of compact excavators (as defined in ISO 6165) with
swing type boom, having an
operating mass of 1 000 kg to 6 000 kg.
