本标准适用于SAE J1116中所述的通用工业机器，这些机器配备有防滚翻保护结构（ROPS）。本SAE标准建立了坠落物保护结构（FOP）的性能标准，旨在为通用工业机器的操作员提供高空保护，防止砖块、混凝土块和小型手动工具等物体从地面以上不超过9 m（30 ft）的高度坠落，例如在公路维护等操作中遇到，建筑工地的景观美化和其他服务，落物产生的能量不超过1360 J（1000英尺- lbf）。

This standard applies to General Purpose Industrial Machines, as described in SAE J1116, which are equipped with Rollover Protective Structures (ROPS). This SAE Standard establishes performance criteria for Falling Object Protective Structures (FOPS) intended to provide operators of general purpose industrial machines with overhead protection from objects such as bricks, concrete blocks, and small hand tools that may fall from heights of not more than 9 m (30 ft) above the ground, encountered in operations such as highway maintenance, landscaping, and other services on construction sites where the falling object develops an energy not to exceed 1360 J (1000 ft-lbf).
