Earth-moving machinery - Falling-object protective structures - Laboratory tests and performance requirements (ISO 3449:2005)

This International Standard specifies laboratory tests for measuring the structural characteristics of, and gives 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 intended to apply 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.

Erdbaumaschinen - Schutzaufbauten gegen herabfallende Gegenstände - Prüfungen und Anforderungen (ISO 3449:2005)

Diese Internationale Norm beschreibt die Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der baulichen Eigenschaften und
Anforderungen bei einer repräsentativen Prüfung eines Schutzaufbaus gegen herabfallende Gegenstände
(FOPS) für Erdbaumaschinen mit aufsitzendem Maschinenführer, wie in ISO 6165 definiert. Sie gilt sowohl für
FOPS, die ein integraler Bestandteil der Maschine sind, als auch für solche, die separat an die Maschine
angebaut sind. Sie gilt nicht für FOPS für Müllverdichter, Bagger, Walzen, Grabenfräsen, Rohrleger,
Maschinen, die in Verbindung mit einer Arbeitsausrüstung einen zusätzlichen Sitz aufweisen (z. B. Anbau-
Heckbagger) oder Maschinen mit einer Leistung < 15 kW.
ANMERKUNG Diese Internationale Norm kann dazu benutzt werden, eine Anleitung für den Hersteller von Schutzaufbauten
gegen herabfallende Gegenstände zu geben, falls solche Schutzaufbauten für in dieser Norm behandelte und
andere Maschinen mit bestimmter Anwendung bereit gestellt werden sollen.

Engins de terrassement - Structures de protection contre les chutes d'objets - Essais de laboratoire et critères de performance (ISO 3449:2005)

L'ISO 3449:2005 spécifie des essais de laboratoire destinés à établir les caractéristiques structurelles, et fournit des exigences de performance lors d'un essai représentatif des structures de protection contre les chutes d'objets (FOPS) destinées à être utilisées dans des engins de terrassement à conducteur porté, tels que définis dans l'ISO 6165. Elle est applicable aussi bien aux FOPS faisant partie intégrante de l'engin qu'à celles qui sont fournies séparément pour être fixées à un engin. Elle n'est pas destinée à s'appliquer aux FOPS pour compacteurs de remblais, pelles, compacteurs, trancheuses, poseurs de canalisations, pour le siège supplémentaire nécessité par le fonctionnement d'un accessoire (par exemple chargeuse-pelleteuse), ou pour les engins de moins de 15 kW de puissance nominale.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 3449 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 127, Earth-moving machinery, Subcommittee SC 2,
Safety requirements and human factors.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition (ISO 3449:1992), which has been technically revised.

Introduction
This International Standard provides performance criteria for falling-object protective structures (FOPS). It
recognizes that there are various classes and sizes of machines that operate in a variety of environmental
conditions. It is intended to assure operators of reasonable protection from falling objects of different sizes and
masses.
Its laboratory tests are a means of evaluating the characteristics of the structures used to protect the operator
from localized impact penetration and, indirectly, of the load-carrying capacity of the supporting structure to
resist impact loading.
This International Standard establishes a consistent, repeatable means of evaluating characteristics of FOPS
under loading and prescribes performance requirements for these structures under such loading in a
representative test.
For similar tests on FOPS for excavators and excavator-based machines, see ISO 10262.

Earth-moving machinery — Falling-object protective
structures — Laboratory tests and performance requirements
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies laboratory tests for measuring the structural characteristics of, and gives
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 intended to
apply 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.
NOTE This International Standard can be used to provide guidance to the manufacturers of roll-over or falling-object
protective structures should it be decided to provide such protection for these or other machines for a particular application.
