CSA Preface
This is the first edition of CAN/CSA-ISO 8082-2, Self-propelled machinery for forestry — Laboratory tests and performance requirements for roll-over protective structures — Part 2: Machines having a rotating platform with a cab and boom on the platform, which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 8082-2 (first edition, 2011-12-01).
For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as CAN/CSA-ISO 8082-2 throughout.
This Standard is one of a series of CSA Group Standards on roll-over, tip-over, operator and falling-object protection for mobile construction, industrial, mining, forestry, and agricultural machinery. This series is divided into the following Standards, with additional Standards to be added as they are developed:
a) CSA B352.0-09 (R2014), Roll-over protective structures (ROPS), falling object protective structures (FOPS), operator protective structures (OPS), and tip-over protective structures (TOPS) for mobile machinery — General Canadian requirements;
b) CAN/CSA-M3463:09 (R2014), Tractors for agriculture and forestry — Roll-over protective structures (ROPS) — Dynamic test method and acceptance conditions;
c) CAN/CSA-M3471:05 (R2015), Earth-moving machinery — Roll-over protective structures — Laboratory tests and performance requirements;
d) CAN/CSA-M5700:09 (R2015), Tractors for agriculture and forestry — Roll-over protective structures (ROPS) — Static test method and acceptance conditions;
e) CAN/CSA-ISO 8082-1:16, Self-propelled machinery for forestry — Laboratory tests and performance requirements for roll-over protective structures — Part 1: General Machines;
f) CAN/CSA-M12003-1:09 (R2014), Agricultural and forestry tractors — Roll-over protective structures on narrow-track wheeled tractors — Part 1: Front-mounted ROPS;
g) CAN/CSA-M12003-2:09 (R2014), Agricultural and forestry tractors — Roll-over protective structures on narrow-track wheeled tractors — Part 2: Rear-mounted ROPS; and
h) CAN/CSA-M12117:05 (R2015), Earth-moving machinery — Tip-over protection structures (TOPS) for compact excavators — Laboratory tests and performance requirements.
Adoption of these ISO Standards on ROPS and TOPS, along with Standards such as the ISO 3776 series on operator restraint systems, will aid in the safe design of mobile construction, industrial, mining, forestry, and agricultural machinery across North America.
Scope
This part of ISO 8082 establishes a consistent and reproducible means of evaluating the load-carrying characteristics of roll-over protective structures (ROPS) on self-propelled forestry machines under static loading, and gives performance requirements for a representative specimen under such loading. It is applicable to machines configured as forestry machines or defined as such in ISO 6814, having a rotating platform with a cab — with or without a fixed cab riser — and boom on the same or a separate platform, intended to be operated by an operator wearing a seat-belt.
It is not applicable to forestry machines with elevating cabs.
