This International Standard establishes a consistent and reproducible means of evaluating the load-carrying characteristics of Roll-Over Protective Structures (ROPS) 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.
