The purpose of this document is to provide a clear means to identify earth-moving machinery according

to its function and design configurations and with secondary classifications according to its operating

mass and control operator configuration.

Annex A provides a procedure based on the identification structure used by this document to classify

the machinery and introduce detailed identifications consistent with the logic implied by the structure.

Annex B provides a hierarchy of the operator control configurations for earth-moving machinery.

3.1
earth-moving machinery

self-propelled or towed base machine (3.9) on wheels (drums or tyres), crawlers or legs, which can have

equipment (3.11) or attachment (3.12), or both, primarily designed to perform excavation, loading,

transportation, drilling, spreading, compacting or trenching of earth, rock and other materials

Note 1 to entry: Earth-moving machinery can be of a type either directly controlled by an operator riding or not

riding on the machine and indifferently be remote controlled by wired or wireless means with or without direct

view on the working area. Moreover, it can operate autonomously or semi-autonomously.

Note 2 to entry: See Annex B for types of operator control configurations.
3.1.1
compact machine

earth-moving machinery (3.1), except for compact excavators (4.4.4) and compact loaders (4.2.3), having

an operating mass (3.9) of 4 500 kg or less

3.3.2
wireless control machine

remote control machine (3.3) where the control of the machine is accomplished by signals transmitted

through the air from an operator controlled device distant from the machine

Note 1 to entry: A wireless-controlled machine is operated with or without a direct view on the working area.

3.4
autonomous mode

mode of operation in which an earth-moving machinery (3.1) performs all machine safety-critical and

earth-moving or mining functions related to its defined operations without operator interaction

[SOURCE: ISO 17757:2019, 3.1.3.1, modified. The term “mobile machine” is replaced by ”earth-moving

machinery”, and Note 1 to entry is not included here.]
3.4.1
autonomous machine

earth-moving machinery (3.1) intended to operate in autonomous mode (3.4) during its normal

operating cycle

[SOURCE: ISO 17757:2019, 3.1.3.1, modified. The term “mobile machine” is replaced by ”earth-moving

machinery”, and Note 1 to entry is not included here.]
3.4.2
semi-autonomous machine

earth-moving machinery (3.1) intended to operate in autonomous mode (3.4) during part of its operating

cycle and which requires active control by an operator to complete some of the tasks assigned to the

machine

[SOURCE: ISO 17757:2019, 3.1.3.2, modified. The term “mobile machine” is replaced by ”earth-moving

machinery”, and Note 1 to entry is not included here.]
