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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Introduction
Safety in mining operations is of concern to all involved in owning, developing, managing, and working
in mining environments. Routine mining activities can generate airborne particulates which are
hazardous to human health. Therefore, it is necessary to develop controls which limit the operator’s
exposure to airborne particulates while operating equipment from within the operator enclosure.
With the rise in the number of countries regulating air quality in mining, construction, and industrial
environments, machine manufacturers have become increasingly aware of the need for standard
practices in the design and performance of operator enclosures. This document seeks to address the
fundamental design requirements that w
