Overview

ISO 12117-2:2008/Amd 1:2016 is an important international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that focuses on earth-moving machinery, specifically excavators weighing over 6 tons. This amendment to the original Part 2 standard establishes laboratory tests and performance requirements for Roll-Over Protective Structures (ROPS) designed to enhance the safety of excavator operators in roll-over incidents. The update ensures that protective structures meet rigorous safety criteria and performance benchmarks during certification.

The standard is part of ISO’s ongoing effort through Technical Committee ISO/TC 127, Subcommittee SC 2, which addresses safety, ergonomics, and general requirements related to earth-moving machinery. It plays a critical role in improving operator protection and reducing risks associated with excavator roll-overs.

Key Topics

  • Roll-Over Protective Structures (ROPS): Specifies design and performance requirements for ROPS fitted on excavators over 6 tons to withstand overturn conditions.
  • Laboratory Testing: Details the controlled testing procedures to simulate roll-over impacts and stresses on protective structures.
  • Labeling Requirements: Includes mandatory label content such as manufacturer details, ROPS designation, serial number, year of manufacture, maximum machine mass rating, and applicable international standard reference.
  • Compliance and Marking: Provides guidance on conformity marking, including CE marking for products marketed in the European Economic Area (EEA).
  • Amendment Details: Updates to label content and cross-references within the standard for clarity and regulatory alignment.

Applications

ISO 12117-2:2008/Amd 1:2016 is widely applied by manufacturers, safety engineers, and testing laboratories involved in:

  • Designing and manufacturing ROPS for excavators weighing over 6 tons.
  • Conducting standardized laboratory tests to validate ROPS performance and compliance.
  • Ensuring excavator safety features meet international regulatory and market requirements.
  • Providing clear product labeling to improve traceability, accountability, and regulatory compliance.
  • Supporting compliance with regional directives, such as the European Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC), for machinery safety.

This standard is essential for those focused on improving operator safety and equipment reliability in construction, mining, and other earth-moving industries where excavators are extensively used.

Related Standards

  • ISO 12117-1: Covers laboratory tests and performance requirements for Protective Structures of excavators weighing up to 6 tons.
  • ISO 3461: Safety standards related to protective structures on agricultural and forestry tractors.
  • ISO 3691: Industrial trucks-Safety requirements, which also address protective structure standards in material handling equipment.
  • Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC: European regulatory framework for machinery safety that includes compliance markers such as the CE mark referenced in ISO 12117-2.

By aligning with ISO 12117-2:2008/Amd 1:2016, manufacturers and safety professionals can ensure excavator ROPS meet internationally recognized safety and performance standards, thereby enhancing operator protection in hazardous roll-over scenarios.
