For evaluation of the performance of the TOPS, ISO 12117-2 shall be used in respect of lateral loading only and with the following lateral load energy:
Lateral load energy Us (J) = 6 500 x (M/10 000) 1,25 The TOPS shall be labelled in accordance with ISO 12117-2:2008, Clause 9, except that the standard referred to shall be EN 474-5:2006+A3:2013.
In fulfilling this requirement a manufacturer may alternatively provide a ROPS which fully complies with ISO 12117-2 (see also 5.3.2.2.4). In such cases, the labelling may either be in accordance with ISO 12117-2 (ROPS) or be as modified above (TOPS). Where a structure complies with both TOPS and ROPS criteria, a manufacturer may optionally identify both standards (ROPS and TOPS) on the label. NOTE 1 EN 13531 is intended to be applied to compact excavators having swing type boom and having an operating mass between 1000 kg and 6000 kg. This does not preclude the possibility to establish a reproducible means of evaluating the load-carrying characteristics TOPS under static loading, and prescription of performance requirements of a representative specimen under such loading for excavators with an operating mass over 6000 kg. In this case, the test is carried out in accordance with ISO 12117-2. NOTE 2 A New Work Item (NWI) is in progress in ISO/TC 127 to define a specific standard for TOPS for hydraulic excavators with an operating mass over 6 t and less than 50 t. 5.3.2.2.4 ROPS for hydraulic excavators Hydraulic excavators with an operating mass over 6 t and less than 50 t shall be designed so that a ROPS can be fitted (e.g. provision of ROPS mounting points). Where the risk of rolling over exists, based on the intended use of the machine as specified by the manufacturer in the operation manual, ROPS shall be provided and shall be in accordance with ISO 12117-2: 2008. NOTE Tip over is the relevant hazard that is considered for normal hydraulic excavator application. Generally hydraulic excavators do not work in applications where the risk of roll over is significant (e.g. earth moving and demolition applications). Only in certain exceptional circumstances of use (e.g. steep hills and mountains) can there be a significant risk of roll over.& 5.3.2.3 Protection for log application The excavator shall be equipped with a front protection and, if a relevant hazard exists, with a top protection, according to ISO 10262:1998. 5.3.3 Operator's seat 5.3.3.1 Seat adjustment for compact excavators %EN 474-1:2006+A3:2013&, 5.4.1.3, 2nd paragraph only applies to excavators with an operating mass (see !ISO 6016:2008") of less than 3 000 kg.
