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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 7130 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 127, Earth-moving machinery, Subcommittee
SC 3, Machine characteristics, electrical and electronic systems, operation and maintenance.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7130:1981), which has been technically revised.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 7130:2013(E)
Earth-moving machinery — Operator training — Content
and methods
1 Scope
This International Standard provides a basis for content and methods used for operator training for
earth-moving machinery as defined in ISO 6165. The training in turn provides the basis for developing
operators of earth-moving machinery who are knowledgeable and understand the manufacturer’s
instructions for safe and proper operation and routine maintenance. It establishes criteria for evaluating
the competency of a person who operates and could perform routine maintenance of earth-moving
machinery, but does not specify any procedure for proficiency testing or assessment of the operator’s
competence of operating and maintaining earth-moving machinery. It is not intended to substitute for
national or regional requirements or regulations related to operator training.
