Foreword

This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part

1.Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents". Drafting. Please note that some content in this document may involve patents. The issuing organization of this document assumes no responsibility for identifying patents. This document was proposed and is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China.

This document is a Class C standard as defined in GB/T 15706. Appendix A of GB/T 25684.1-2021 specifies the application of earthmoving machinery under producer-specified purposes and foreseeable misoperation conditions. At that time, all major hazards, dangerous conditions, and dangerous events associated with it. This document outlines methods for eliminating or mitigating risks arising from major hazards, hazardous conditions, or dangerous events during the use, operation, and maintenance of earthmoving machinery. Technical measures to prevent hazards. When the main power source of the machine is electricity, this document does not cover electrical hazards related to the machine's main circuitry and drives. Since the machine is designed and manufactured in accordance with Class C standards, when the requirements of Class C standards differ from those of Class A or Class B standards... At the same time, the requirements of Category C standards take precedence over Category A or Category B standards. Chapter 4 of this document contains general requirements, while Chapters 5 through 17 contain specific requirements for particular machine families. These specific requirements take precedence over the general requirements. Requirements. The requirements for using multi-functional machines are covered in the relevant sections concerning their functions. Safety Technical Specifications for Earthmoving Machinery

1 Scope

3.1 General

3.1.1 earth-moving machinery

self-propelled or towed base machine (3.1.6) on wheels (drums or tyres), crawlers or legs, which may have equipment (3.1.2), or attachment (3.1.3), or both, primarily designed to perform excavation, loading, transportation, drilling, spreading, compacting or trenching of earth, rock and other materials

Note: Earth-moving machinery can be either direct-controlled or remote-controlled. It can also operate autonomously or semi-autonomously.

[Source: GB/T 8498-2025, 3.1.1]

3.1.2 equipment

set of components mounted onto the base machine which allows an attachment to perform the primary design function of the machine

[Source: GB/T 18577.2-2008, 3.4]

3.1.3 attachment

working tool

assembly of components mounted onto the base machine (3.1.6) or equipment (3.1.2) for specific use

[Source: GB/T 18577.2-2008, 3.5]

3.1.4 object handling

application of earth-moving machinery (3.1.1) comprising the lifting, lowering and transporting of a load by means of lifting accessories, where assistance of persons (including the operator) is required for attaching or detaching the hook or for stabilizing the load during transport

Note 1: If no assistance of persons is required for attaching, detaching or stabilizing the load because unloading is carried out by a self-acting device, such operation is considered a usual earth-moving application.
