This International Standard establishes a consistent and reproducible means of evaluating the loadcarrying 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 operatorcontrolled 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-steel 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.
