BS ISO 8083:2006

Machinery for forestry. Falling-object protective structures (FOPS). Laboratory tests and performance requirements. | Status: Current, Under review

1 Scope This International Standard establishes a consistent, reproducible means of evaluating characteristics of falling-object protective structures (FOPS) under loading, and prescribes performance requirements for a representative specimen under such loading. It is applicable to mobile or self-propelled, specially designed forestry machines as defined in ISO 6814.

NOTE Research work is being done to develop a test method and criteria for certain polycarbonate materials and constructions where the present requirement levels may not be adequate.
