AS ISO 12117:2020 PDF

This Standard adopts ISO 12117:1997 and its Corrigendum 1 (2000), which 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.

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee ME-063, Earthmoving Equipment.

The objective of this document is to establish 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.

This document applies to TOPS of compact excavators (as defined in ISO 6165) with swing type boom, having an operating mass of 1 000 kg to 6 000 kg.

This document is identical with, and has been reproduced from, ISO 12117:1997, Earth-moving machinery — Tip-over protection structure (TOPS) for compact excavators — Laboratory tests and performance requirements, and its Corrigendum 1 (2000), which has been added at the end of the source text.
