Full title and description

ISO 10532:1995 — Earth-moving machinery — Machine-mounted retrieval device — Performance requirements. This International Standard specifies performance and verification requirements for retrieval (towing/recovery) devices that are mounted on earth-moving machines.

Abstract

Defines performance requirements and verification procedures for a machine-mounted retrieval device used on earth-moving machinery. The standard sets minimal functional and safety-related performance criteria to ensure reliable retrieval capability across relevant types of earth-moving equipment.

Scope

This standard applies to retrieval devices permanently or semi-permanently mounted on earth‑moving machines where a specified retrieval capability is required. It establishes performance criteria and acceptance/verification tests to confirm that a device achieves the stated retrieval function without compromising machine safety or stability. The standard is intended for manufacturers, test laboratories and conformity assessors involved with earth‑moving equipment retrieval fittings.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and classification of machine-mounted retrieval devices for earth‑moving machinery.
• Performance requirements for retrieval capability (loads, attachment strength and functional operation).
• Verification and test methods to confirm conformance with performance requirements.
• Requirements intended to ensure safe integration with machine structure and to avoid adverse effects on stability or operation.
• References to amendment and corrigendum that modify or clarify specific test or performance clauses.

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers of earth‑moving machines and of recovery/retrieval fittings, test houses and certification bodies, equipment specifiers, fleet owners, and maintenance organisations. Typical applications include equipment design validation, supplier specifications, procurement requirements, and conformity assessment for recovery devices fitted to excavators, loaders and similar machines.

Related standards

Standards in the ISO 1053x series and other ISO/TC 127 publications addressing earth‑moving machinery safety, lifting and support devices, and attachment performance are related. Specific related items include the Amendment ISO 10532:1995/Amd 1:2004 and Technical Corrigendum ISO 10532:1995/Cor 1:2006 which apply to the base document. Other ISO standards on earth‑moving machinery (ICS 53.100) provide complementary safety and performance requirements.
