Overview
ISO/TR 6750-2:2024 is an International Standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that provides a comprehensive list of references for information to be included in operator’s manuals for earth-moving machinery. This technical report serves as a guidance document for manufacturers and technical writers involved in creating clear, compliant, and useful operator manuals for earth-moving equipment as defined by ISO 6165.
The standard consolidates and references a wide range of related ISO deliverables-such as International Standards (IS), Technical Specifications (TS), Technical Reports (TR), and Publicly Available Specifications (PAS)-which set out provisions and requirements relevant to various technical aspects vital to earth-moving machine operators. By aligning operator manuals with these references, users benefit from improved safety, usability, and operational clarity.
Key Topics
ISO/TR 6750-2:2024 focuses on organizing and listing relevant standard deliverables that contribute to content typically included in an operator’s manual. Key subjects covered include:
- Safety and Access Systems
- Machine Performance and Controls
- Visibility and Operator Environment
- Mechanical Components and Attachments
- Additional Safety Features
- Protective structures testing, such as ROPS for excavators (ISO 12117-2)
- Travel warning alarms and steering system performance (ISO 9533, ISO 5010)
- Other Relevant Equipment
- Dumper body support devices, remote operator controls, winches, and retrieval devices
The document specifies these subjects and their associated ISO references to be considered when drafting or updating operator manuals to ensure comprehensive and standardized information is conveyed.
Applications
ISO/TR 6750-2:2024 is particularly valuable for:
-
Manufacturers of Earth-moving Machinery
Incorporating standardized information into operator manuals to meet international safety and operational standards.
-
Technical Writers and Documentation Specialists
Developing structured, clear, and compliance-oriented manuals that reference internationally recognized standards.
-
Safety and Compliance Professionals
Verifying that operator manuals provide complete and accurate instructions that align with safety regulations.
-
Training Providers and Operators
Ensuring operator manuals contain precise, relevant information enhancing machine handling safety and efficiency.
By utilizing this ISO guide, stakeholders can produce operator manuals that enhance machine usability, reduce operator error, and comply with regulatory requirements worldwide.
Related Standards
To fully support the implementation of ISO/TR 6750-2:2024, the following related standards are essential:
- ISO 6165 - Earth-moving machinery - Basic types - Identification and vocabulary
