scope:

This International Standard gives terms and definitions and an identification structure for classifying earthmoving machinery designed to perform the following operations: . excavation, . loading, . transportation, and . drilling, spreading, compacting or trenching of earth and other materials, for example, during work on roads and dams, and on building sites. The purpose of this International Standard is to provide a clear means of identifying machines according to their function and design configurations. Annex A provides a procedure based on the identification structure used by this International Standard for classifying the machinery and for introducing detailed identifications consistent with the logic implied by the structure. Annex B provides a hierarchy of the operator control configurations for earth-moving machinery.
