AS 1636.1-1996
[Current]Tractors - Roll-over protective structures - Criteria and tests, Part 1: Conventional tractors
Specifies the test procedures and minimum performance criteria for evaluating roll-over protective structures fitted to tractors having a rear track width generally greater than 1150 mm. It applies to driver-controlled tractors, but does not cover earth-moving equipment. It includes test procedures for both static and dynamic testing. A theoretical analysis of roll-over protective structures, which would provide equivalent performance to physical testing, is included.
