本欧洲标准建立了一种可靠的，可重复的评估静态载荷下翻倒保护结构承载特性（TOPS）的方法，并规定了此类载荷下的代表性试样的性能要求。 它适用于具有摆动式起重臂的紧凑型挖掘机（如EN ISO 6165定义）的TOPS，其操作质量（见3.14）为1 000 kg至6 000 kg

This European Standard establishes a consistent and reproducible means of evaluating the load-carrying characteristics of tip-over protective structures (TOPS) under static loading, and prescribes performance requirements of a representative specimen under such loading. It applies to TOPS of compact excavators (as defined in EN ISO 6165) with swing type boom, having an operating mass (see 3.14) of 1 000 kg to 6 000 kg.
