scope:

This part of the standard specifies the general safety requirements for earth-moving machinery described in ISO 6165 except rollers. Landfill compactors on the bases of a wheel loader and/or a wheel dozer are included in this standard. This standard also applies to derivated machinery designed primarily for use with equipment to loosen, pick-up, move, transport, distribute and grade earth or rock. Additional safety requirements are given for specific families of earth-moving machinery in machine specific parts 2 to 11 of this standard. This part of this standard gives safety requirements for all earth-moving machinery families and shall be used in conjunction with one of the parts 2 to 11. These machine specific parts do not repeat the requirements from part 1 but add to or replace the requirements for the family in question.
