3 Definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the fllowing definitions apply. 3.1 Roll-over protective structure (ROPS): System of structural members whose pri- mary purpose is to reduce the possibility of a seat-belted operator being crushed should the machine roll over. Structural members include any subframe, bracket, mounting, socket, bolt, pin, suspension or flexible shock absorber used to secure the system to the machine frame, but exclude mounting provisions that are integral with the machine frame. 3.2 Machine frame: Main chassis or main load-bearing member(s) of the machine which extend(s) over a major portion of the machine and upon which the ROPS is directly mounted. 3.3 Rollbar ROPS: One- or two-post ROPS without FOPS or any cantilevered load- carrying structural members. 3.4 Bedplate: Substantially rigid part of the test fixtures to which the machine frame is attached for the purpose of the test. 3.5 Deflection-limiting volume (DLV): Orthogonal approximation of a large, seated, male operator wearing normal clothing and a hard hat. (See ISO 3164:1992, figure 1.)3.6 Representative specimen: ROPS, mounting hardware and machine frame (com- plete or partial) for test purposes that is within the manufacturer’s specifications. 3.7 Load distribution device: Device used to prevent localized penetration of the ROPS members at the load application point. 3.8 Load application point: Point on the ROPS structure where the test load is applied to the ROPS structure. 3.9 Deflection of ROPS: Movement of the ROPS structure caused by the application of the load and measured at the load application point. 3.10 Falling-object protective structure (FOPS): System of structural members ar- ranged in such a way as to provide operators with reasonable protection from failing objects (for example, trees, rocks, small concrete blocks, tools). 3.11 Simulated ground plane (SGP): Flat surface on which a machine, after rlling over, is assumed to come to rest. 3.11.1 Lateral simulated ground plane (LSGP): For a machine coming to rest on its side, the plane 15° away from the DLV about the horizontal axis within the plane established in the vertical plane passing through the outermost point (see figure 4). This establishes the LSGP. The LSGP is established on an unloaded ROPS and moves with the member to which load is applied while maintaining its 15° angle with respect to the vertical. 3.11.2 Vertical simulated ground plane (VSGP): For a machine coming to rest in an up- side-down position, the plane is defined by the top cross-member of the ROPS and that front (rear) part of the machine likely to come in contact with flat ground at the same time as the ROPS and capable of supporting the upside-down machine. The VSGP moves with the de- formed ROPS (see figure 5). NOTE: The VSGP applies only to rollbar ROPS.4.3.1 The manufacturer’s maximum recommended mass includes attachments in operat- ing condition with all reservoirs full to capacity, tools and ROPS; it excludes towed equipment such as rollers and drawn scrapers. 4.3.2 For the tractor scraper and articulated steer dumper, it is the manufacturer’s maxi- mum recommended mass of the tractor portion (prime mover) only. In most cases it is the tractor portion, but it should be the ROPS- bearing member or ROPS-carrying part. Kingpins, hitches and articulated-steering components that attach to hitches or towed units are ex- cluded from the mass of these machines. 4.3.3 For rigid frame dumpers, M excludes the mass of the dump body and the payload when the “ROPS only” criteria are selected. When the “body only” criteria are selected, M includes the mass of the dump body but excludes the mass of the payload. 4.3.4 For rollers, loosely contained ballast is also to be excluded from M. Soil, mud, rocks, branches, debris, etc. that commonly adhere to or lie on machines in use are not considered as part of the mass of any machine. Material dug, carried or handled in any manner is not considered part of the machine mass in determining test requirements.BS-EN-13510 pdf download.
