National foreword

This British Standard is the UK implementation of ISO 6405‑1:2017+A1:2022.

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee B/513/1, Earth moving machinery (International). It supersedes ISO 6405‑1:2017, which is withdrawn.

A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its committee manager.

The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags. Tags indicating changes to ISO/IEC text carry the number of the ISO/IEC amendment. For example, text altered by ISO/IEC amendment 1 is indicated by .

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not constitute an endorsement.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 127, Earth-moving machinery, Subcommittee SC 3, Machine characteristics, electrical and electronic systems, operation and maintenance.

This third edition of ISO 6405‑1 cancels and replaces the second edition ( ISO 6405‑1:2004), which has been technically revised with many new symbols added. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 6405‑1:2004/Amd 1:2010.

A list of all parts in the ISO 6405 series can be found on the ISO website.

1 Scope
