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.

In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a

— an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between technical experts in

an ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is approved by more than 50 % of the members

— an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical

committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee casting

An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a

further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is

confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an

This International standard ISO 11154 specifies the minimum safety requirements for roof load carrier

intended for mounting on or above the roof of passengers cars and light commercial vehicles with a maximum

Considering the state of the art and the ongoing work on the revision of DIN 75302, a city crash test and a

short dynamic test were added. Furthermore part1 to 4 were merged into a single document. German and

French Committee members declared their whish to replace their existing national standard by this revised

Standardised test bench method of sub-systems which could be used as an alternative of the road test are still

under development. Alternative method to city crash test might also be considered.

For some products as for example ladder holder, national regulation has to be considered.

At the time of publication, dedicated roof bars complying with car manufacturers specifications already on

sales or under development was considered satisfactory. They are encouraged to apply this International

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS — This International standard is not applicable to vacuum fixing devices and

roof container (boxes) with magnetic fixation. The experience with and testing results of those devices

shows that those devices are not able to guarantee a minimum safety level for carrying goods on

This International standard establishes technical specifications and test methods which offer both the user of

the roof load carriers, others road users and pedestrians a minimum level of safety when these fixing devices

Moreover, the requirements of ISO 11154 complete the provisions of Directive 74/483 EEC and ECE R 26

For additional devices intended for example to limit the movement of the load, requirements and test methods

are not defined in this international standard. If needed both manufacturer and laboratories has to work out

additional test(s) or choose the most appropriate test(s) described in this International standard.
