This European 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 EN ISO 6165) with swing type boom, having an
operating mass (see 3.14) of 1 000 kg to 6 000 kg.
