Overview
ISO 13031:2016/Amd 1:2025 is the latest amendment to the International Standard ISO 13031, focusing on earth-moving machinery quick couplers safety. Published by ISO (International Organization for Standardization), this amendment updates key safety requirements for quick couplers used on hydraulic excavators and backhoe loaders. It aims to enhance safety by reducing the risk of accidental detachment of attachments during operation, ensuring a more secure and reliable connection between machinery and its tools.
Key Topics
Normative References Update
This amendment revises the references to related standards such as:- Replacing ISO 6750 with ISO 6750-1 to specify updated operator’s manual content and format.
- Updating ISO 20474-1:2008 to ISO 20474-1:2017 for earth-moving machinery safety requirements.
- Adding ISO 19014-2 relating to functional safety in control systems.
Additional Safety Requirements for Powered Quick Couplers
A new Annex A introduces specific functional safety measures for powered quick couplers on excavators and backhoe loaders:- Automatic Mechanical Locking: Couplers must automatically lock the first pin upon contact or engagement control activation, which can only be released during disengagement.
- Lift Prevention: The system should prevent lifting the attachment until it is fully and correctly engaged.
- Attachment Retention Test: The attachment must be retained under defined mechanical stresses (with specific arm angles and cylinder strokes) even if the coupler is not fully engaged.
- Operator Alerts: Both acoustic and visual signals must notify the operator if the attachment is not fully engaged before use.
- Functional verification is mandatory through tests with attachments per manufacturer guidelines.
Updated Terminology and Definitions
Inclusion of ISO 6165 ensures consistency in basic earth-moving machinery types, identification, and terms.
Practical Applications
Safety Enhancement in Construction Equipment
By following ISO 13031:2016/Amd 1:2025, manufacturers and operators can ensure the quick coupler systems on earth-moving machinery meet advanced safety criteria to prevent environmental hazards and injury risks caused by falling attachments.Operator Awareness and Control
The addition of visual and sound alarms improves situational awareness and helps operators confirm safe engagement, reducing human error during coupling procedures.Manufacturing and Equipment Design
Equipment designers can leverage the detailed functional and mechanical locking requirements to innovate safer coupler systems that comply with international safety standards.Compliance and Certification
This amendment supports compliance with broader machinery safety regulations and functional safety standards, such as ISO 19014-2, enabling smoother certification and market acceptance.
Related Standards
- ISO 13031:2016 – Original edition covering earth-moving machinery quick couplers and their safety.
- ISO 6750-1 – Specifies the content and format for operators’ manuals in earth-moving machinery.
- ISO 20474-1:2017 – Addresses general safety requirements for earth-moving machinery.
