Full title and description

STB DIN EN ISO 3164 E 2012-02 — Earth‑moving machinery — Laboratory evaluations of protective structures — Specifications for deflection‑limiting volume (German-language adoption / edition dated February 2012).

Abstract

This document is the German-adopted edition (DIN EN ISO format) of the draft/committee text for ISO 3164 addressing the definition, dimensions and use of the deflection‑limiting volume (DLV) applied when performing laboratory evaluations of protective structures for operators of earth‑moving machinery. The 2012 DIN/EN/ISO designation was subsequently superseded by the finalized international edition ISO 3164:2013.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn / superseded (German adoption withdrawn after publication of EN/ISO edition).
• Publication date: 01 February 2012 (designated E DIN EN ISO 3164:2012‑02).
• Publisher: Published as a German adoption under DIN (DIN EN ISO designation) — national adoption of an ISO/CEN text.
• ICS / categories: 53.100 — Earth‑moving machinery and related protective structures.
• Edition / version: E DIN EN ISO 3164:2012‑02 (national adoption of the ISO/DIS text; later superseded by EN ISO 3164:2013 / ISO 3164:2013).
• Number of pages: 11 (DIN electronic listing); the subsequent ISO 2013 final edition is listed as 6 pages.

Scope

The standard defines the deflection‑limiting volume (DLV) to be used when performing laboratory evaluations of protective structures that provide protection to operators of earth‑moving machinery. It specifies DLV dimensions, suggested location and rules for use and measurement accuracy for laboratory tests of operator protective structures (as related to standards for earth‑moving machinery). The DIN/EN/ISO 2012 designation represents the national adoption step for the draft text later published internationally as ISO 3164:2013.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and geometric specification of the deflection‑limiting volume (DLV) used in laboratory evaluations of protective structures for earth‑moving machinery.
• Dimensions, tolerances and recommended measurement accuracy for DLV placement during testing.
• Location and orientation guidance for the DLV relative to operator envelope and protective structure.
• Normative references and relationship to related machinery standards (for example ISO 6165 and other operator‑space and safety standards).
• Informative annex material addressing the relationship between the standard and essential requirements of applicable machinery directives (where adopted as EN).

Typical use and users

Users include manufacturers of earth‑moving machinery (design and verification teams), independent test laboratories performing laboratory evaluations of protective structures, certification and conformity assessment bodies, safety engineers, and standards committees preparing or applying operator protection and machine safety specifications. The document is primarily used during laboratory testing and type‑approval activities to establish a repeatable DLV for comparative evaluations.

Related standards

Related and cross‑referenced standards include ISO 6165 (earth‑moving machinery — basic types and terms), ISO 3411 (operator space / physical dimensions), ISO 5353 (seat index point) and the EN/ISO family addressing protective structures and machine safety. The DIN/EN/ISO adoption process aligns the text with relevant EU machinery directive relationship clauses (annex ZA).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: STB DIN EN ISO 3164 E 2012‑02 is the German‑designated edition (DIN EN ISO format) of the draft/adoption text for ISO 3164 dealing with the deflection‑limiting volume used in laboratory tests of protective structures for earth‑moving machinery. It was published in February 2012 as the national adoption of the draft text.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It specifies the definition, size, placement and use of the deflection‑limiting volume (DLV) for laboratory evaluations of operator protective structures, including dimensional tolerances and guidance on measurement accuracy.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, test laboratories, certification bodies, safety engineers and standards committees involved with earth‑moving machinery protective structure testing and machine safety assessment.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The DIN EN ISO 3164:2012‑02 designation is withdrawn/superseded; the finalized international standard was published as ISO 3164:2013 (and later received amendment activity). Users should reference the ISO 3164:2013 edition (and applicable national/transposed EN editions and amendments) for the current normative text.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 3164 is part of the suite of standards addressing earth‑moving machinery and operator protection (related to ISO 6165 and other ISO/TC 127 publications) and is commonly published/transposed in EN/DIN national editions as part of harmonized machine safety documents.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Deflection‑limiting volume (DLV), earth‑moving machinery, protective structure, laboratory evaluation, operator protection, ISO 3164, DIN EN ISO.
