NF EN ISO 3449
Earth-moving machinery - Falling-object protective structures - Laboratory tests and performance requirements
ISO 3449:2004 specifies laboratory tests for measuring the structural characteristics of, and gives performance requirements in a representative test for, falling-object protective structures (FOPS) intended for use on ride-on earth-moving machines as defined in ISO 6165. It is applicable to both FOPS supplied as an integral part of the machine and those supplied separately for attachment to the machine. It is not applicable to FOPS intended for use on landfill compactors, excavators, rollers, trenchers, pipelayers, for the additional seat for operation of an attachment (e.g. attachment backhoe), or on machines with a power rating of less than 15 kW.

Dans la série des normes relatives aux engins de terrassement, celle-ci aborde l'aspect sécurité du conducteur. Elle s'adresse tout particulièrement aux concepteurs de cabines d'engins pour obtenir une présomption de conformité à la Directive "Machines". Elle spécifie un moyen uniforme et reproductible d'évaluation des caractéristiques de charge des structures de protection contre les chutes d'objets (FOPS) et prescrit les critères de performance lors d'un essai représentatif.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
