Identically adopts ISO 3449:2005, specifying laboratory tests for measuring the structural characteristics of, and giving performance requirements in a representative test for, falling-object protective structures (FOPS) intended for use on ride-on earth-moving machines as defined in ISO 6165.
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee ME-063, Earthmoving Equipment.
The objective of this document is to specify laboratory tests for measuring the structural characteristics of, and give performance requirements in a representative test for, falling-object protective structures (FOPS) intended for use on ride-on earth-moving machines as defined in ISO 6165.
It is applicable to both FOPS supplied as an integral part of the machine and those supplied separately for attachment to the machine. It is not applicable to FOPS intended for use on landfill compactors, excavators, rollers, trenchers, pipelayers, for the additional seat for operation of an attachment (e.g. attachment backhoe), or on machines with a power rating of less than 15 kW.
