ISO 5010 is an International Standard that discusses earth-moving machinery.
ISO 5010 specifies steering system tests and performance criteria for evaluating the steering capability of wheeled, ride-on earth-moving machinery as defined in ISO 6165:2012.
The main objective of ISO 5010 is to minimize the risk of occupational hazards that are relevant to operating wheeled machines.
Note: Functional safety of the steering system is not covered in ISO 5010.
Note: ISO 5010 is not applicable to wheeled machines manufactured before the date of its publication.
ISO 5010 on wheeled machines is relevant to:
Earth-moving equipment is large machinery, mainly heavy-duty vehicles designed for earthwork construction tasks. Wheeled machines include machines equipped with wheels, one or more drums, or crawler wheel assemblies.
ISO 5010 deals with the following significant hazards, hazardous situations, or hazardous events relevant to wheeled machines, when used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer:
By adopting ISO 5010-compliant tests and performance criteria for evaluating the steering capability of the wheel you can avoid incidents of uncontrolled steering movement during machine operation. You can design a steering control system such that the movement of the steering control element is consistent with its effect. The resulting steering system reliability can enable optimal functioning of the machinery, timely completion of tasks and a reduction in hazardous accidents.
