This Standard gives terms and definitions and an identification structure for classifying earth-moving machinery designed to perform the following operations:
— Excavation;
— Loading;
— Transportation; and
— Drilling, spreading, compacting or trenching of earth and other materials, for example, during work on roads and dams, and on building sites.
The purpose of This Standard is to provide a clear means of identifying machines according to their function and design configurations.
Appendix A provides a procedure based on the identification structure used by this Standard for classifying the machinery and for introducing detailed identifications consistent with the logic implied by the structure.
Appendix B provides a hierarchy of the operator control configurations for earth-moving machinery.
