Full title and description

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. This International Standard specifies laboratory static tests and performance requirements for roll‑over protective structures (ROPS) fitted to self‑propelled forestry machines that have a rotating platform with a cab and boom.

Abstract

ISO 8082-2:2011 establishes a consistent, reproducible means of evaluating the load‑carrying (force–deflection) characteristics of roll‑over protective structures (ROPS) on self‑propelled forestry machines with a rotating platform. It gives performance requirements for a representative specimen under static loading, defines test set‑up and load application, and describes acceptance/performance criteria for ROPS intended to protect a belted operator. The standard excludes forestry machines with elevating (lift‑up) cabs.

General information

• ICS / categories: 65.060.80 (Forestry equipment)
• Edition / version: Edition 1 (2011)
• Number of pages: 20

Scope

Applies to self‑propelled machines configured as forestry machines (as defined in ISO 6814) that have a rotating platform with a cab (with or without a fixed cab riser) and a boom on the same or a separate platform. The standard covers laboratory static loading tests to evaluate ROPS load‑carrying behaviour and prescribes minimum performance requirements for a representative ROPS specimen when subjected to specified static loads. It is not applicable to forestry machines equipped with elevating cabs.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and applicability to rotating‑platform forestry machines (reference to ISO 6814 for machine classification).
• Laboratory static test methods for ROPS: load application points, directions and magnitudes appropriate to the machine geometry.
• Specification of test fixtures, mounting arrangements and representative specimen selection.
• Performance requirements and acceptance criteria for force–deflection behaviour and permanent deformation under specified static loads.
• Requirements related to occupant protection assumptions (operation with operator wearing a seat‑belt).
• Exclusions and special cases (for example, elevating cab designs are excluded).

Typical use and users

Used by forestry machine manufacturers and designers to verify ROPS designs; by independent test laboratories that perform static ROPS testing; by safety engineers and compliance teams assessing machine safety; and by certification bodies, regulatory authorities and procurement specialists who require evidence that machine ROPS meet recognized international performance requirements.

Related standards

ISO 8082-1:2009 (Part 1 — general machines) — contains general ROPS laboratory test methods and requirements for other forestry machine types. ISO 6814 (terminology, definitions and classification of forestry machines) — used to define machine types and applicability. National/adopted versions (for example BS ISO 8082-2) and related machine safety standards (general forestry machine safety standards) are commonly used alongside this part.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 8082-2:2011 is an International Standard that specifies laboratory static tests and performance requirements for roll‑over protective structures (ROPS) on self‑propelled forestry machines that have a rotating platform with a cab and boom.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers test set‑up, load application and acceptance/performance criteria for representative ROPS specimens under static loading, and defines which machine configurations (rotating platform with cab and boom) are within scope and which (elevating cabs) are excluded.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Machine manufacturers and designers, independent test laboratories, safety engineers, certification bodies, regulators and procurement specialists involved in forestry equipment safety and compliance.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 8082-2 was published in 2011 (Edition 1). ISO standards are subject to periodic review; users should check the ISO catalogue or their national standards body for the most recent confirmation, amendments, or withdrawal status before relying on a specific edition for compliance.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 2 of the ISO 8082 series. Part 1 (ISO 8082-1:2009) addresses general machines; other parts and amendments in the ISO 8082 family cover different machine configurations and related ROPS test matters.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: ROPS, roll‑over protective structure, forestry machinery, static test, load‑deflection, rotating platform, cab, boom, ISO 8082-2:2011.
